I’ve been painting my little heart out over here the past few days. While painting a wall has immediate gratification, painting cabinets does not. I’m in cabinet painting hell. But I know it will be worth it in the end, and the cost savings of me doing it myself is well worth the pain.
Here’s a little update from the laundry room I quickly snapped with my phone.
I had to bring all my cabinet painting operations into the house from the garage since they showed up yesterday to start working on the stairs. Fresh paint and saw dust don’t make for the smoothest finish. To save me some major room I ended up painting the section of doors where the hinges would be placed first so I could attach the doors back on the cabinets and paint the remainder of them in place.
Speaking of the stairs, here’s what happened yesterday. All of the carpet was torn out and they started adding in the paint grade risers.
It’s a hot mess. And keeping Sam away from the stairs resembles a wrestling match. This kid is strong for 2 years old!
Ok, I’m out. Off to paint some more. Make sure to stop back by on Monday though. I’ve got a little something that rhymes with schm-iveaway going on 😉

There are a bunch of different formulas you can find online about how to properly style a nightstand. Â Some of them work for me and others don’t. Â By that I mean if the perfect styling recipe calls for a tray or candle and I don’t have one that looks right, I’m not going to go…
I have this wood pedestal table that I’ve had for years. Here she is in our old kitchen. It came to me from my parents who got it at an antique store when I was little. When I was about two years old I actually broke the table top when I was standing…
Our laundry room has come a long way from when we first moved in, but I’ve never really loved it. It’s a dark room with zero natural light. A few years ago I added wallpaper in an attempt to make it interesting, but it just never felt like the rest of the house. The other…
So, I’m pretty excited about this little handy project from my laundry room makeover. Remember when I told you I have a little sneaky surprise when it came to these knobs? Ba Bam!!! That’s right peeps. We added knobs without drilling holes or damaging the cabinets! How to do it: Use knobs that have a…
Last week I showed you guys my messy laundry room. I worked on it over the weekend and am so freaking, stinking excited about how it turned out!!! A reminder of the state it was in before. The makeover started with making a skirt to hide all the junk under the table top. I had a…
