My bedroom was in desperate need of some art and I figured instead of buying something that was probably too expensive and not exactly what I was looking for, I would make my own art with some stencils I already had and some new ones I purchased.

I couldn't find a shower curtain that had a designer look but wasn't designer prices, so I decided to stencil my own. I found my Ikat stencil at cuttingedgestencils.com and love it!

In anticipation of his baby sister's moving into the nursery, we created a big-boy bedroom for my son using colorful patterns and whimsical details. Some of the items moved with him from the nursery; others were thrifted; others were purchased new and one iconic feature, a reverse-stenciled dresser, was DIYed. The best feature of this room is that in addition to everything being toddler/preschooler accessible the design is both fun for a little boy and beautiful for his parents.

I got my inspiration for this room from the "Turkish Smoking Room" at the Victoria Mansion in Portland Maine. But I went with Victorian designs instead of the Moorish Design in The Victoria Mansion. I hope you see why.

My bedroom has undergone some changes lately, have a look and see what you think! I have to add a post script here after some comments. I chose to only stencil the wall behind the bed as I wanted a subtle feature wall, I would not be happy to see the whole room stencilled. I will be putting in a padded headboard as soon as I can afford to pay for the materials. Things are expensive in Australia!! The last photo shows the new artwork I made for the wall above the desk one day I may put in a mirror there. I hope everyone enjoys looking, I will post more photos when I finish the room!

For a while, I was trying to figure out an alternative to tile for a kitchen backsplash. I would love to get a real deal in a form of, let's say, a cool glass mosaic tile, but not with the cabinets that we have right now. If down the road, we decide to stay in this house for several years, then I would want to get some nice custom cabinetry with a backsplash to go with it. But for now, I wouldn't want to spend money on the tile backsplash that will be ruined if we decide to change the cabinets.
Anyway, I thought that geometric stencil might actually do the trick.
So, here is the before and after kitchen backsplash. I used bronze stencil cream and dry brushing application method.
Btw, I did also paint the kitchen cabinets myself. Originally they were this horrible orange wood color that made them look extremely cheap.

Here is what $1200 can do! ***Still a work in progress, but here's our story***
We remodeled two homes located over 200 miles apart at the time we started this kitchen remodel. BOTH were on a tight budget and with resale in mind, but we invested in some key elements. We transformed this builders' grade oak kitchen with standard vinyl flooring, into a vintage-inspired kitchen with a French twist.
Here are all of the elements:
* Cabinet refacing, using Rust-o-Leum Cabinet Transformations = $149.00
* Stenciled Backsplash, "Springtime in Paris" stencil from Royaldesignstudio.com = $100 stencil
* New Roman shade from SelectBlinds.com
* Drum light from Lumens.com by Elements, grasscloth $267
* Flooring from BestLaminate.net @ $1.99 sq. ft.
(In progress
* Butcher Block Island--IKEA butcher block in oak = $169 each.
We drove 150 miles each way for our butcher block, spliced them together + added a roomy 15" extension. (This added space for 3 more people! - a great entertainment addition!
* Corbels from Architectural Depot (supports for island = $74 ea x2
Some finishing touches are still being added, but we would love to know what you think!

Before our first child was born, we struggled with choosing a theme for the nursery. We went with the gender neutral color, pale sage green. The nursery's best feature is the wall design that was created with letter stencils. The design is comprised of the letters of mine and my husband's name, along the year our first child was to be born. We arranged the huge letter stencils on the wall and painted them different shades of green. It came out awesome! We chose chocolate brown furniture for the rocking chair and the cutest convertible crib we could find.

I loved the layout of my dining room but it was boring. I installed a new glam light fixture, painted a stencil wall to create an interesting focal point, painted my existing dining table black and added my own wall photography and some accent pieces!

This is the only room on my first floor that is painted and decorated and I loved how it turned out. I used a textured paint product to decorate the walls.

I didnt want to put a wallpaper border up in my bathroom and I couldnt find a stencil that went with my shower curtain so I made my own and used wall plaster to give me a 3-d effect. It was awesome and so much fun to do! I free handed the image from my shower curtain cut it out of stencil paper and then applied my wall plaster or joint compound with a putty knife.. it was so much fun.

This is my daughter's new room! I was so excited to decorate a little girl's room. Everything was done around the bedding, which my mom made for me. I love how it turned out!
