Built In Desk | Upcycling At Its Best

This project has been a long time coming. We’ve been working on this built in desk with shelves for Ellie’s bedroom for the past 3 weeks. Sometimes we set unrealistic expectations of how much we can get done in a week.In a perfect world, with everything going smoothly we hoped to get this built in desk done in a week. Ambitious I know, but that’s what I am, ambitious! But the reality of it is, that it’s summer, there are swimming lessons, play dates and sleepovers with cousins and the list goes on.

DIY Office Storage Cabinet With Dixie Belle Paint

I’ve been remodeling our blog Studio, lovingly called Organized-ish HQ, for the last month and half. The studio has served my team well, but we were in need of better storage solutions and a more functional layout. The room is long and narrow, so when I looked online for a sideboard style cabinet to hold our office supplies, I couldn’t find anything long and shallow enough to fit the area I had open. So in true Lela fashion, I decided to make one myself.

Painting Furniture With General Finishes Milk Paint

Sometimes I wonder if my house is more of a storage unit than a home. So in an effort to resuscitate my home, I’ve decided to declutter, donate, and sell most of what I deem unnecessary for everyday living and enjoyment. One of these items that has been stored in my home is an old, wooden sewing table. My husband and I found it on the side of the road with a “free” sign on it...three years ago! Since then, it has been sitting in various homes and places in my home waiting to be loved or reintroduced back into society.Finally, this week in a moment of pure motivation, I decided to give this worn out piece a facelift so I can ultimately get it out of my house and get a little cash. Although, you may not have a piece quite like this in your home, the process for painting whatever furniture piece you may have is essentially the same. So whether your painting for keeps or for your side hustle, here are some basic steps for how to paint furniture specifically using General Finishes Milk Paint.

IKEA Hack - Linnmon Refresh With Peel N Stick Wallpaper

I have so many of those IKEA desk tops that have seen better days. Structurally, they are sound pieces but cosmetically, they were in terrible shape. I wanted a quick fix and I didn’t want to invest a lot of time or money. Enter leftover peel n stick wallpaper to the rescue. This is a stupid easy project... I struggled with even deciding to post it because it is truly that easy.

DIY Charging Station Using Ikea's Fintorp System

This may sound a bit anal but I can not stand cell phones and cell phone charges all up on the kitchen counter. While Corey is well aware of my hatred towards kitchen counter clutter (try saying that five times fast) our guests are not, so whenever they’re over they tend to charge their phones in the kitchen. Since our guests seem to prefer the outlets in the kitchen over any other room in the house and I happen to hate having their stuff all over my counter I decided to figure out a way that both parties can be happy. I also really needed wanted to go to Ikea.

How to lighten up gray wall in the kitchen

Bella

Three of four kitchen walls were painted dark gray. There are white cabinets and a backsplash will cover two of the three gray walls. That leaves one dark gray wall exposed together with a fourth wall that is a lighter shade of gray. How can I lighten the darker wall so that a navy blue island will be the dominating focal point of the kitchen?
