DIY Glory Story

Blog:  The Glorious Pile.

GLORYSTORY
I’m a graphic designer, instructor and a packrat, just like my grandma. I have hoarding tendencies but I love pretty things, good design and the simple life. This blog is a journal of the everyday things that inspire me and the 80 year old pile of bricks I call home. While you’re dreaming, take time to appreciate what’s around you. 

Glorious Reminder:  While your dreaming, take time to appreciate what’s around you. 

Bathroom Makeover
Yikes! to Wow!
Collecting pieces and accents for 7 years is dedication but the beautiful result is well worth the wait. 
The details, colors and vintage vibe make me sigh.  LOVE!
See the before, the demo, the progress, beautiful details and inspiration at DONE!
There’s lots more DIY where that came from.  Here are a few more amazing projects…
Ugly Duckling to Swan Chairs
oh no!oh yes!
Lovely designer looking room too!

Garage Door Makeover
before
after – beautiful! (I’d give anything for a garage. Period. The doors? Icing!)
Pop over, say hello! I KNOW she’d love to hear from you!  Blog buddy support and encouragement means so much!  Making new blog friends is so much fun!

Coming soon – in order to fix the feed, the DIY Show Off will soon have a new look. Unsuccessful attempts have pushed me to switch to my own domain. Thanks for your patience and sticking with it while I work out the bugs. 🙂

My Cottage Charm Laundry Room Before and After

Missy from My Cottage Charm revealed her laundry room makeover.  I had to laugh when we were “talking” and she said “I swear I could totally sleep in that room!  I go stand in the doorway and just stare at it….how weird am I?!”  Because – it’s not weird to me at all!  Every time I finish a room (okay, sometimes even when I just rearrange a room), I could sleep there and stare at it all day. In fact, I’ve been staring at Missy’s laundry room all day.  How weird am I? 
 
Don’t answer that!  Prepare to be weird along with us: 
Laundry room before…boring. 
Unorganized. Cluttered. 
Wait! That describes my laundry room!
messy laundry room..just keepin' it real!
 
The BIG reveal…
Laundry room decorating ideas
 
Oh-la-la! Très étonnante! Same room? Yes. I saw it all with my own two blog-reading eyes. Budget friendly too: DIY floor, DIY board and batten, DIY Goodwill dresser and Habitat Restore cabinets.  DIY decorating, accents and art.  Missy, I know it took a long time, but it was well worth all of your hard work and patience.  It’s stunning!
 
I want this room!

If you read our blog regularly, you know we have kitchen makeover on the brain.  Seeing beautiful DIY kitchen makeovers pushes us to get ours finished so we can share the reveal (working on a kitchen island next and installing new wide baseboards). So today, we’re thrilled to share a beautiful kitchen transformation with you. 
Kasey from Beautiful Mess started with this…
DIY demo begins the transformation…
Love the new view!  So open now!
Fun wall color, beautiful tall cabinets and awesome backsplash & countertops…
I spy pretty patterned valances too!
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
See the details of all that was done at Beautiful Mess Kitchen Reveal. 2 1/2 months of renovation.  What?!  We’re going on month # 8 in our kitchen remodel…better get our butts moving!  Love seeing this motivation!
Wow, Kasey!  So…how does it feel to be done?!  It’s gorgeous!  Thank you so much for sharing your hard work. You’ve created a fresh, bright new kitchen.  I love it!
