Before & After

Mischel Schonberg sent over this amazing transformation to their house. They were tired of their house looking like every other brick house in their subdivision so they decided to paint their home. Look at the amazing results! They also upgraded their garage doors from “builder grade blah to carriage house ahh”.
The transformation is stunning, don’t you think? I’m sure their house sticks out from the rest now!

Don’t you just love how clean and bright this kitchen feels. And I love how the cabinets are painted green inside! What a nice surprise. (And I bet you didn’t even realize that the kitchen floor is painted too.)

Love the mixture of the blue and red. Looks fabulous!

I was introduced to a Flickr Pool called Furniture Redo via How About Orange and thought I’d share some of my favorites. I love repainting older furniture pieces for a great new look! (In fact I’m repainting one of my pieces now! I’ll share shortly!) It’s super easy and gives you a whole new look!

This is a project that I’ve had on my to-do list for a while! Try making your own canvas rug! I think my next place with all hardwood floors will be the perfect place to try it out.

See the full set of supplies and instructions from Martha Stewart.

This winter there were lots of neutral color schemes floating around. Which I love! But what about trying a little more color for the summer? When I was in Chicago this weekend I took this picture of a display at Macy’s. Isn’t it beautiful? I love the crisp black wall with the splash of color on the background coordinating with the different colors of the KitchenAid mixer.

I’d love to paint a few stripes on a board to put up on the wall in some summery colors just like the background of the display. It would make an easy, quick DIY project!
Have you seen any displays recently that you like?
