DIY

I love DIY. I have so much fun doing it. I literally wander around our house looking for stuff to DIY. Since we bought a house I have been having a little fun with DIY here and there. Here are a couple of my masterpieces. 


My first project was to take my old (but cute) dining room set and turn it into an outdoor patio set. The total cost for our project ended up being $15, which was thin outdoor vinyl (for between the cushion and fabric so the cushion won't mildew if it rains) and then upholstery fabric. (2 yards of each)

Patio set on the deck. (Please ignore the ugly paint job from the previous owners. It looks much better now and I will post pictures soon)

My second (recent) project was to make our ugly white door look better. Sean wants to buy a new door eventually but I figured a quart of paint for $15 would be an easy simple fix for now and I am not going to lie, I really love how it turned out. 

I forgot to take before pics but here is the door after the first coat of paint.

Up close (and personal). I really love the vinyl on the door, which matches the trim on the house :)

Loooong Time, No Posting

Holy Cow! It has been way to long since we posted on here (I blame Sean). Anyway, we have been super duper busy on the house. I don't know if Sean has any of the ugly before pictures but I will try and post some of the wonder after pictures.

I would share more like the living room but I don't want to take pictures of the ugly furniture for now; the new (pretty) stuff is due any day and I can hardly contain my excitement.
