DIY at Josie Jones

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Roeshel

Hello DIY Show Off readers!! We are so thrilled to be doing our 1^st ever guest post here! We are quite new to the blogging world as we just launched our blog, JosieJones & Company, May 2011. Here’s a little bit about us. We are moms, wives, business owners, Christians, lovers of all things old/shabby/vintage, and passionate about simple design. This is just what our blog is all about- simple design that anyone can achieve. We love to feature room redo’s that didn’t cost much money, but required a little thought and patience to find the right solutions. At JosieJones & Company, you will also find fun and unique DIY projects that anyone can tackle. We lead busy lives and know it can be overwhelming to have a mind full of projects we’d like to try, but so little time. Here are a few examples of the simple projects you will find at JosieJones.com.

Easy Frame Décor

Simple Block Art

We also love to feature simple recipes we find!! Here is a great homemade lemon body scrub.

All of our featured recipes include a downloadable recipe card for you to print.

Another idea we love to show our readers is how to repurpose treasures for all sorts of uses. Check out this fun toolbox repurposed 4 different ways.

Now if you’re like us and love a good “Before and After” project, we’ve got those as well!!

Sun Porch Redo

You may also enjoy this bathroom remodel where we took an old outdated room and transformed it into a country chic oasis!

Each month we will post several DIY projects, recipes, and fabulous finds that we hope will inspire you in some way. We will also feature an amazing Giveaway each month full of fun and unique treasures. We are bursting at the seams with ideas and projects that we can’t wait to bring to you!

We thank Roeshel for giving us this opportunity to share our new blog, Josie Jones & Company with you and we hope you’ll find some time to stop by and give it a visit. We would love to hear from you!!!

Sincerely,

Natalie and Kim

Electric Fireplace Before and After – DIY at the Wright House!

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Roeshel

Happy Wednesday! 1/2 way through the week! Today’s DIY Show Off feature is Natalie from

Isn’t that header adorable?

First up, Natalie had one of these electric fireplaces. Red mahogany and glossy:

To see the tutorial of how they transformed it, visit “Electric Fireplace Before and After“. The result is amazing!

Here she is in all of her gorgeous white and distressed dress:

LOVE LOVE LOVE the barnwood mantel!

Natalie’s DIY and decorating don’t stop there. Visit The Wright House to see more. Here’s a few sneak peek from her beautiful home tour:

More to drool over…

I want this entire corner in my home…

Natalie…you don’t even need your amazing talent for photography to make your pantry look good…it’s heavenly!

I swear there is TONS more of her beautiful style to see in her home tour – SO.MUCH.INSPIRATION.

I’m so envious of her vintage accents/collections!

and oh my! You must see the kids’ rooms and laundry room. And living room. And kitchen. And – oh just her entire home. I want my house to look like hers when it grows up and gets finished.

and just a peek of her LONG LIST of awesome before and afters:

Guess what’s behind this antique window turned mirror/door?

Lucky girl has a mail sorter!

Mudroom full of charm. Look at that chippy old happy door!

You’re heading over there now to see her DIY talent, right? I was tempted to include lots more, but you’ll have to visit her (warning: you’ll need an hour or so because there’s so much to see). Tell her I said “hello”!

Ps. Once you’re done there, (and I hesitate to tell you this because I have to make the time to go there first!) but she’s also got a cute shop! Don’t empty it before I’ve had a chance to shop too!

Beautiful dresser makeover!
