DIY Spa Bathroom At Home

October 22, 2016 by Anne Davis

A spa bathroom is a space that makes you feel good the moment you step in. You can shrug off the cares of the world and relax completely and you don’t have to spend a fortune to get that feeling.  Here’s how to do it.

Plush and Fluffy

Thick, plush towels and fluffy bathmats go a long way to achieving a spa feeling.  A few inexpensive luxury items such as soaps, a bath tray and bath brushes will add to the ambiance.

Small Home Office or Homework Nook

October 15, 2016 by Anne Davis

What do you do when you need a small home office or your kids need a place to do homework and there’s not much space to work with?  Shelves are an inexpensive and easy DIY solution!

Combining shelves with a console table or laptop desk gives you enough space to work in without feeling overcrowded.  If you don’t have a table/desk you can find them in the online classifieds for reasonable prices or you can install a deep shelf on brackets.

How to Paint a Lamp With Spray Paint

August 23, 2016 by Anne Davis

Sometimes there’s nothing really wrong with a lamp you already own except that you’re tired of the way it looks. Case in point was a lamp that I used to love but that really didn’t fit the cottage style decor I now prefer.  The easiest solution is always paint and now there are paints that cover every type of surface. Here’s how I completely changed the look of this lamp.

Materials

  • Graphic design of your choice
  • Paint
  • Pencils
