Modern Fireplace Transformation

Hey guys, just finished my fireplace makeover in my home. I went completely outside of my comfort zone while doing this transformation and followed my gut even though it sounded crazy and a little horrifying to most people. So surprising…a black wall in your home isn’t appealing to most? 😉 But, I get it! This transformation was so dramatic and yet so easy to achieve. I seriously…

DIY Quikrete Concrete Lamp

Hey guys! Anyone super intimated by the thought of using concrete? I totally get that…I was beyond intimated just a few weeks ago and now it is turning into one of my favorite products to use for DIY-ing! Quikrete Concrete challenged anyone who is attending the Haven Conference (a DIY bloggers convention) to do a project using one bag or less of their concrete for the chance to win a 10,000 dollar sponsorship. If you don’t know it by now…I am always up for a challenge!

All Time Top 10 Tools for the Beginner DIY-er

So, I used to be seriously obsessed with clothes, purses and shoes…these days it’s ALL about the tools! I only recently became interested in tools and it seems like you can never have enough.

Who wants their dream home, without having to pay an obscene price for it?? Umm…ME!! Don’t get me wrong, any project you do in your home is normally going to cost you something, obviously you still have to pay for all of your supplies and tools are an investment, but doing it yourself will definitely save you a TON of money. After so many projects, I have now come to realize that each and every project seems to need a new tool, but there are some really basic tools that I normally use for every single project. So, I thought I would share my favorite must have tools for DIY-ers.

DIY Bicycle Wreath

How beautiful is this DIY Bicycle Wreath!!! This wheel was stashed in my hoarders garage that I have been cleaning out and organizing for the last week, it’s been pretty daunting for the most part but, every once in a while I would find a treasure in my chaotic clutter. Like, this amazing vintage bicycle wheel.

I know what your thinking, a bicycle wheel is that really a treasure? Well, I would absolutely say YES! I found this bicycle wheel at a random vintage shop that caught my eye while driving. Can we say U-Turn…I knew as soon as I saw it what I wanted to do with it. Of course I have big plans for where this guy is going to end up, which is going to turn into a whole other giant project. So, for now I am going to share with you my simple and easy DIY Bicycle Wreath tutorial.
