    DIY Pennant Banner for Kids Room

    January 5, 2023 /

    This DIY Pennant Banner is the perfect something extra for a kid bedroom or play space! It’s so easy to paint by hand with minimal materials and skills! We overhauled this bedroom for a grandmother who has 6 grandkids. She needed more beds than just the full bed and futon previously in the room. So Dad and I built 2 sets of bunk beds complete with trundle drawer storage underneath! The transformation was part of an episode for Today’s Homeowner. I designed the room to be fun and cute but not too young since the grandkids span ages 1 to 9. Bright colors mixed with black and white bedding was…

    $200 Front Porch Makeover

    July 23, 2021 /

    You don’t need a large budget to make huge improvements to your front porch or improve your curb appeal. A little paint can go a long way plus a few fun accessories to liven it up! Big, full-blown renovations are fun and exciting! They are also expensive. But there is still a lot of satisfaction and joy that can be found in the small, inexpensive changes around your house. While you may not notice something at first, the longer you live somewhere the more a certain aspect of your home might bother you. My friends have lived in this house for close to 6 years.

    How to Update Rusty Iron Handrails

    May 21, 2021 /

    Just because your iron handrails are old, rusty, or peeling doesn’t mean you need to replace them! Easily update rusty iron handrails with a little elbow grease, spray paint, and painter’s tape! While iron handrails aren’t as popular as they used to be, there are still plenty of them around! Including on the front and back of our house! If yours are starting to peel or there are spots that are starting to rust, you’ll want to take care of them right away to avoid further decay. It’s not a complicated process, but it can take a little time depending on how ‘out of shape’ your iron handrails are currently.

    Simple Option To Update Handrails Updating your front porch may be as easy as a coat of paint! This is how I painted my stained handrails white with a little time and some leftover paint making this a totally free upgrade! Home maintenance is a process, y’all!

Back Story I started cleaning up and updating our front porch in the fall by pressure washing everything and sealing the front concrete sidewalk.
