This was a project that I have been wanting to do for over a year now. We had a few people come look at it, and were told that the stairs couldn’t be raised, and the best option might be to just tear it out and re-pour the steps… Which was NOT in our budget.…

When I was re-doing my girls room, I knew that I wanted my little girls wall to have a fun accent pop of color. The rest of the room was neutrals so this corner was going to be full of color in her favorite shades. Overall, it was SUPER easy to do, and made a…

Hinges, doorknobs, vent covers, you name it… Everything was painted over and was the same color as the walls. There are options to just replace the hardware…
