Small Bathroom Makeover on a Small Budget

budget bathroom makeover

It’s almost comical how badly our small bathroom needed a makeover. We’ve went back and forth not only on the color we wanted to paint to whether or not to rip it down to studs and do a total remodel. My husband is handy like that!

DIY Front Door: Before and After Makeover

Spring is trying to come! We had beautiful weather this weekend which meant a project was bound to happen and this weekend it was DIY Front Door Makeover!

Next month will be the 2 year mark on buying our house and changing our front door has been on the list since day one.

Our old door was actually hard to open from the outside, was pretty drafty, and we personally didn’t love the gold look. Insert: DIY Front Door Makeover! (more…)
