I have done some things to get it done fast, but already changed a lot. I have bought several thrift pieces, fixed them up...liked them, but not for us...so I turned around and sold them. We have only been here for 10 months. Still nothing on the walls, because I want to paint. Oh what color to paint?! Thanks for sharing. I feel better now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157053172819032498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-12346709392308180212016-03-11T10:54:38.599-05:002016-03-11T10:54:38.599-05:00Your process gives me hope.

We have been in our house for 2 years now and yes- we even had the mattress on the floor for a while. lol But I love that your style is simple and not cluttered. That's totally me- at least in my bedroom. I'm just so stinkin' cheap- I have a hard time buying stuff that may or may not work or I will change my mind a million times. So I just don't buy anything. Well- that's NOT working because we have an adorable space and it lacks personality. Your room tranformation has hopefully given me courage to take that first step.

I think the way you did it is exactly right...you need to live in a home and feel it and then move on to decorate slowly.

Then I noticed the link to the master bedroom (and your comment about "get ready to laugh") and I have to admit I WAS laughing☺But I just have to tell you, I know nothing about you because I've literally read these 2 posts and I am thoroughly impressed. You are a tenacious and creative, DIYer and I have so much appreciation for someone willing to dive in and do it themselves. I am hoping to be inspired and YOU are encouraging me to just consider doing more MYSELF! Stop paying others, i.e., a painter and just do it! I'm off to see your closet☺ Thanks for the inspiration and all the best to you!bug pinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222860095438463793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-31069442508644644942015-04-24T17:41:06.501-04:002015-04-24T17:41:06.501-04:00Loooove that you documented your journey.

I also love metallic paints, though I hadn't (yet) tried the shiny chrome - but I'm almost there!<br /><br />To save and protect the surface of your vanity, beveled glass cut to exactly the shape of the top is perfect. A bit expensive but super practical. You could probably also (if you have all straight line edges) use clear 1/8" acrylic (which you could cut to shape) with the edges framed with really simple frame - the kind you'd find on super cheap/plain ready-framed "art"Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083192525537365410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-22281064955972272002014-09-28T10:06:39.150-04:002014-09-28T10:06:39.150-04:00Hello!

I have a space with ceilings about the same height as yours that I am using as a library, and the light fixture will fall right in the middle of room, so I'll need plenty of clearance for people to walk underneath it.

I've just re-disscovered your blog as I enter the blogging world myself (bought a house, suddenly DIY took on a new life), and I sat here (at work, whoopsie) glued to this post, trying to suppress giggles. I just loved it. I also had an idea! I've been obsessing with black interior doors lately. In the picture of the dresser with the big silver mirror - you can see the french doors in the reflection. Have you ever thought of doing them black, a la http://www.houzz.com/photos/3877319/Windsor-Road-Residence-Austin-TX-transitional-hall-austin? <br /><br />that is all!

My eight year old daughter even peers over my shoulder, oooing and aahing and saying, "mom, she's amazing! How did she do that?!" On one hand I'm so inspired because it honestly never occurred to me that other people aren't happy with their first decorating job. I just thought it was because I didn't know my style and if I did, I could do a room one time and be satisfied with it for 10 years! lol I guess that's not very realistic, is it? On the other hand, I'm a bit discouraged because with four kiddos under 8, I don't have time (or $) to do, and redo, my house. Plus, we rent, so we're limited with what we can do in our home. So all that to say, you need to come to my new rental that we're moving into next month and tell me everything to do, how to decorate around my huge brown couch, how to make a home school office/classroom with 3 computers in it look nice, and how to decorate beautifully with something other than white! haha Hurry up and have kids so I can follow what you do with all their CLUTTER! ;)April Hoffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150359938985751565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-28943392266992739552014-04-14T12:44:33.578-04:002014-04-14T12:44:33.578-04:00Hi Virginia!!
