3M – Couples Speak Giveaway

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Roeshel

Have you seen this button here and there in the blogging community?

Do you know what it means? 3M is currently running two fun contests!

Share your “He Says/She Says” The first is a translation sweepstakes with a weekly $250 prize. To enter, just create your own funny translation (real or fictional) at Frameworks’ Facebook page.

The second is a video submission contest along the same lines except you submit a video for a chance to win two $5000 prizes!!!

DIY conversations at our house:

Mr. DIY says: “Just an idea, just something to consider.” (Proceeds with an idea.)
Mr. DIY means: “I don’t want to do it your way” or “I’d rather it my way”.

My response: “Oh yes, that’s an idea.”
My meaning: “Um, no.”

This past weekend, Mr. DIY drilled through the attic wall to the outside to install a vent and having a respirator and protective eye wear was so important! You’ll find a lot of 3M products in the DIY Show Off household. Enter here for a chance to win the products below. Must haves for your DIY stash of supplies!

3M Frameworks these 3M products:

Lead Check

3M™ LeadCheck™ Swabs are EPA recognized, non-toxic and provide a rapid, test for lead on most surfaces. When lead is detected, 3M™ LeadCheck™ Swabs turn red on contact. The vast majority of test situations results are obtained in less than 30 seconds.

TEKK Protection

3M™ TEKK Protection™ Products, a full portfolio of innovative respiratory, eyewear and hearing products designed to help keep you safe.

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That and a Living Room Before and After

Posted on September 6, 2011 by Roeshel

Hi, DIY friends! I’d like to introduce you to Halley from a Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That and Everything in Between.

Halley recently transformed her living room. She claims it wasn’t an expensive remodel. Just basically a lot of paint, new hardwood floors and some rearranging of art work from other areas of the house to create this amazing transformation.

You won’t believe what this pretty living room looked like before!

Living room before was dark and no doubt about it, the first word that comes to your mind is “brown”…

More brown…

Now, take a look at the WOW! I love the new floor, lighter walls and exposed beams which were lost in the sea of brown before.

See the little bit of the breakfast bar area before…

Now:

What a beautiful makeover and HUGE difference! I just love it!

See more details and before and after pictures at Living Room Remodel Reveal.

Halley, this is such an inspiration. Proof that it doesn’t take a lot of $$$ to transform a room. You did an amazing job! I love the new fresher look!
