As I was updating my home tour page, I noticed that I didn’t have a link to our half bathroom makeover. Why? Because I shared it on my very first blog and not here. So, time to show you the before and after transformation. One of my first projects. It evolves a little here and there.

First, let’s take a look at the before picture. Keep in mind that previous owners foreclosed on this old farmhouse. It sat neglected and we lived with this room stripped completely for over a year (that nasty carpet and fixtures were gone)! Thank goodness for my ability to see potential, otherwise this alone would have had us running the other direction!

faux chocolate decor, Valspar spray paint

  • I’ve officially started on the family room. I’m working from top to bottom and this weekend, I started with the ceiling. Our bamboo flooring will be installed this week! This picture doesn’t show how truly bad it is. you can’t see the dingy walls, brass boob light, unpainted French doors, microwave cart with fish tank, mismatched furniture…it’s not a pretty sight but stay tuned for a floor to ceiling makeover, step by step.  {$100 Comfort Works giveaway}

  • And you’re looking at my early birthday present from Mr. DIY. (Thanks, honey!)  What’s almost as good as a room makeover? A blog makeover! The DIY Show Off has a pretty new look and new design…in case you didn’t notice 😉 ! Woo hoo! We’re still tweaking a few tabs and things! A special thanks to Maximus & Ashley at A1websitepro.com! Not only did Max hold my hand through the crashed shared server and get the DIY Show Off back online, he’s the creative genius behind the scenes and Ashley created the new graphics but a familiar look. I LOVE it!
