I Like It, I Love It!

Meet:  Meg from

I first ‘met’ Meg when she submitted her living room. Beautiful, colorful and full of energy. I was “lovin’ I Like It, I Love It” and couldn’t wait to see more.  A home tour that had me at “I like it”. 
Here are some pictures and the links for you to meet Meg too and see more of her beautiful home:
I love the bright fun colors and beautiful arches.
So pretty, so peaceful. I love the color selection and beautiful details.
What a beautiful, dreamy space.
Special room for a special little girl.
With a pantry in the works during our kitchen makeover in our own home, 
Meg’s pantry is truly an inspiration…
Organization Heaven!
If you’d like to see more or just make a new blog friend who shares your interest in creating a beautiful home (along with milk and chocolate chip cookies, margaritas, magazines and fashion on a budget – we’re all going to be good friends!), head over to Meg’s blog. She scored a fabulous blue ghost chair and I know I’m looking forward to seeing her upcoming office makeover!  Meg, thank you so much for sharing your design talent and beautiful home!

Blame It on the Toes

There’s a special meaning behind Liz’s blog, Blame It on the Toes. I’ll let her tell you about that (here).  Liz and her husband, Mike, have done some amazingly gorgeous DIY transformations in their home!
First, a room used for storage becomes a sweet nursery.  You can see the full transformation from start to nearly-finished at Jett’s Nursery…Renovation.  
A nursery that inspiration is made of…

Dresser after is gorgeous…
No part overlooked, drawers were Mod Podged too!

TV armoire before…

Amazing after…
Inside is just as fun…
More sneak peeks:
 
Not only does baby have a sweet place to dream, but mom and dad have a pretty sweet retreat themselves!
Bedroom before was a blank slate…
After is stunning!  Same room?  Hard to believe but find proof in every DIY detail at Blame it on the Toes Bedroom Makeover
WOW! Great job Liz & Mike!  I love both rooms and the furniture makeovers are beautiful!  Thank you so much for sharing your hard work!

Bambina Babe Nursery

I thought I had featured this but looking back, it never published. My apologies to Nealy from Bambina Babe (her awesome kitchen featured back in June) because I had the best of intentions.  Hopefully better late than never applies. This nursery is the things inspiration is made of. (You can see all of her inspiration at Nursery Part I and she does a fantastic job of making her own version every bit as beautiful and special.)

Nursery before…


And after:


Walls are Benjamin Moore Beacon Gray and the (faux) Roman shades are DIY!


I love that she calls it a compilation of junk and spray paint. HAHA! The result is beautiful and fun. 


Love this art. She doesn’t say it’s definitely a do-able DIY project…



The bedding is MILDI (mother-in-law-did-it), sewing together a hodge podge of Amy Butler fabrics.  It’s gorgeous!


Hot glue + pink pom pom trim = pretty touch to a plain lampshade.


The little lampstand/table is another thrifty find painted pink.


DIY name art (dischangers would be a great way to prepare these for hanging).



DIY lighting – she spray painted an old fixture from their dining room and added crystals with the help of her mom.




Isn’t it darling?  Beautiful results using a little DIY and thrifty finds!


Thanks so much for sharing, Nealy!  You did an amazing job on a small budget with great results! I love it!
