Over the last month, I've showed you the changes we've made in our backyard throughout the six and a half years that we've lived in our home.

Update Laminate Countertops With Paint Using Rustoleum Countertop Transformations
I have received a few questions from readers lately asking for DIY kitchen update ideas that provide a high end look without a renovation budget. Painting kitchen cabinets is always a good option (and I've got a tutorial to help you get a professional, even finish), but another of my favorite tips is to update kitchen counters on a budget with paint to create the look of high end stone. A while back I wrote a post about how to use a Rust-Oleum Countertop Transformations Kit to DIY granite look ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 4: Getting Down to Business in the Boys’ Room
It's week 4 of the One Room Challenge and I finally have some real progress to report!

We're transforming the nursery into a room for our 3 and 5 year old ... View the Post

As you may recall, a few months ago I turned an old printer stand into a rolling bar cart - it was one of four furniture flips I did for my Drab to Fab feature at the Denver Home Show. I installed several wine glass racks below the painted "counter top," but still had space to fill on the shallow shelf next to the glasses. The goal was to complete my furniture makeovers on a tight budget, so I wanted to accessorize on the cheap as well. I immediately envisioned a gold wire ... View the Post

Thank you First Alert for sponsoring this post. October is Fire Prevention Month - practice safety in numbers to ensure your family’s super prepared too! I'm pretty sure I never slept as a kid.
