See some fun, creative DIY home decor projects from my friend Leigh. You just might want to give them a try!
Hi friends! Today’s guest here at Bildirimlerim is Leigh. I met her on Instagram a few months ago, and we’ve become Insta-friends! She always has amazing projects on the go, and I have no doubt you’ll love them as much as I do.
Leigh is creative, thrifty, and fun to watch and read. Enjoy this fun little DIY home decor projects tour!
Hello! I’m Leigh from the blog The Little by Little Home, and I’m so excited that Rita Joy asked me to pop in and share with you today.
A quick background on my blog: I started it when we moved into a very old farmhouse. It was a fun outlet for sharing home decor ideas. As we began making over every single room in that farmhouse, my interest in DIY really took off. We transformed 14 rooms in that home before moving into our current one. We wanted more breathing room and settled on a 1915 Dutch Colonial-style home. That was a little over 2 years ago, and it’s been so much fun to transform each room.
With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite projects with you! If you want to see all the before and after pictures from the room makeovers, I’ve got those HERE.
DIY Home Decor Projects for Every Room in Your House
DINING ROOM LIGHT FIXTURE
I found a drum lampshade on the clearance shelf and had a crazy idea that it might fit over our current chandelier. With a few other parts from the hardware store, it became a brand-new chandelier for less than $20! Click HERE to see the process.
SIMPLE DIY FIREPLACE MANTEL
This is the fourth fireplace I’ve given a makeover, so it didn’t bother me one bit that it looked like it belonged in a medieval castle when we moved in. Once we did some stonework and painted it, the mantel needed some attention. To keep things simple and budget-friendly, we capped the existing mantel with boards from the hardware store. I shared the easy step-by-step HERE.
HOW TO CONVERT A DRESSER INTO A VANITY
The very first project we tackled after moving in was turning an office into a half bath and laundry room. The challenge was doing it all on a budget… while still being creative. Using a sink we’d had in storage and a used dresser, my husband built an amazing vanity. I shared his process HERE!
PAINTED KITCHEN CABINETS
It only took a few days, and painting our cabinets transformed the whole kitchen. You can see the process HERE. If you’re thinking about this type of project, I say go for it! And if you’re wondering how it holds up, I did a one-year review, too. Click HERE.
PIANO PAINTING
I’ll admit this project was a “scary” one. It’s a real commitment, for sure. I thought about it for a while, and then I went for it. We couldn’t be happier with this cheerful yellow piano now! I shared the before and after HERE.
It’s been so much fun sharing a few projects with you. There’s a ton more on my blog, along with makeovers, simple recipes, home decor, and a little family life thrown in. Thank you again to Rita Joy for having me today. This has been fun!
And thank you so much, Leigh, for guest posting today!
