Kitchen cabinet redo!

Posted by Micah

I didn't change much from where it started, but I feel it looks a little more up to date!!! My mom made the window treatment, and we took the window unit out! Then, I took the old brass door pulls off patched up the holes, put a fresh coat of paint on them and drilled new holes for my new black knobs!!! Then I used the idea from "4 Peas in a Pod" and had a friend create me some black diamond decals and stuck them on as a backsplash! I think it came out great for only having to buy new knobs $80 and my decals were $20!!! Big change for $100 total!!! Here are a few before and after pictures!!!

Laundry Room

Before... during... and still not finished laundry room:

Well, the wash room started out as a wooden floor that the previous owner painted gray and they put up gray panelling... yes, I said GRAY PANELLING!!! YUCK!!!

Make a long story short, I never wanted to go in there... it was horrible!!!

Here, let me prove it:

So then my sister came over for the weekend and we made it fun!!!

See:

Finally, we finished painting and I still have to find some shelving to put on the walls!!! Until then, this is my "Oasis"!

This is the before and after of my kitchen table and chairs. I bought the set for $125 on craigslist and stole "borrowed" the PB knock off idea from fellow bloggers!! It fits perfect in my small nook area and looks like new thanks to a few coats of black spray paint!

Easter Wreath

Posted by Micah

This was a modified version of everyone else's Easter wreaths on DIY blogs! I just painting plasitc Easter eggs a cream color with spray paint, then splattered them with an old toothbrush and brown paint... easy!!! Next, I just used a hot glue gun to stick on the cross and randomly plance the eggs. Then finally hung it on the back door for all to enjoy!!!
