My 5 Favorite DIYs

August 3, 2018

I love me a good DIY, not just because I love being creating and making things, but because it saves me a ton of money! After my husband and I moved into a larger place (from 670 sq. ft to 1100 sq. ft), we needed to get more furniture. But furniture is soooo expensiveeeee. Luckily, … More My 5 Favorite DIYs

I said I wouldn’t sell pillows... not because I don’t love making them, but because there are so many amazing pillow shops out there! But alas, here I am selling pillows in the shop now 😆😆. One of my first creative outlets was actually sewing. I used to sew Barbie clothes when I was 8 or 9, and then I started hand-sewing my clothes so they’d fit better. I finally got my first sewing machine when I was 15, and since then I’ve been trying to expand my skills! Well, I love shopping the remnant section at @joann_stores so I’ve been making my own pillow covers out of fabric I like. But now I have leftover fabric, so yeah—I’m gonna make more pillows and just sell a few here and there. Buttttt there will only be 2 or 3 in each pattern so get em while they last! Gonna post this grey stripe one maybe soon... if I ever convince myself to let it go! 😭 • • • #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #showemyourstyled #currenthomeview #smmakelifebeautiful #designsponge #makehomematter #mymidcenturymix #kismetcheckoutmyhouse #standoutstyling #jessimobsessed #currentdesignsituation #mymodernlook #gtwdesign #mycrispcasa #handmademodernhome #peepmypad #thatroomiseverything #breinspired #hunkerhome

I can’t get over moody & bold colors. And it helps that we get flooded with natural light! I’m already scheming up some moody colors for our master bedroom, which is our next project once the downstairs bathroom is fully finished! I’m long overdue for a bedroom pic, so I’m hoping we can get started on that soon ☺️ What room is your favorite to see on a design account? • • • #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #navykitchencabinets #currenthomeview #smmakelifebeautiful #designsponge #navykitchen #mymidcenturymix #kismetcheckoutmyhouse #standoutstyling #jessimobsessed #currentdesignsituation #mymodernlook #gtwdesign #mycrispcasa #handmademodernhome #ispyraddesign #kitchenrenovation #kitchenreno #mylowes

After almost two months of delays, we finalllyyyy got our shower door/walls for our downstairs bathroom!! Which means... another bathroom reveal coming soon!! Still gotta finish decorating it, but for now, here’s a teaser! I wish it could stay styled like this all the time, but since we’ve got my parents living downstairs, I just have to shove all their stuff in a basket to take pics 😬 • • • • #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #showemyourstyled #currenthomeview #smmakelifebeautiful #designsponge #bathroomrenovation #mymidcenturymix #kismetcheckoutmyhouse #bathroomdesign #jessimobsessed #currentdesignsituation #mymodernlook #gtwdesign #mycrispcasa #handmademodernhome #bathroomremodel #kingstonbrass #lowestyle

Today in stories, see how I bought two different lamps for a total of $14 to make the one here. And also check out my current design crushes and how my style has changed since I first started on here! This is currently how our living room looks, but I can only imagine the changes this space will go through as my style continues to evolve. I think I’m getting close to landing it.. can anyone else relate?? Why is it so hard to stick with one style?? • • Get these prints for 15% off at @project.nord by using code: LISA15 • • • #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #showemyourstyled #currenthomeview #smmakelifebeautiful #designsponge #makehomematter #mymidcenturymix #kismetcheckoutmyhouse #standoutstyling #jessimobsessed #currentdesignsituation #mymodernlook #gtwdesign #thisiswhyicraveinteriors #mycrispcasa #handmademodernhome #peepmypad #thatroomiseverything #loloirugs #hunkerhome #valuevillagefinds #breinspired

Before & afters are my favorite! Here’s another angle of the recent bathroom renovation (& by different angle I mean a landscape one, 😜). I love the vanity that we used for this bathroom, but looking back, we should’ve gotten a bigger one! I don’t know what we were thinking, but we totally could’ve gotten a vanity that was 6 inches wider... 🤦🏻‍♀️ Good news is we now have a good amount of experience with installing a vanity so maybe someday later we can upgrade for a bigger one 😆😆 It might take me a few years to convince my husband... • • • #apartmenttherapy #currenthomeview #designsponge #kismetcheckoutmyhouse #standoutstyling #currentdesignsituation #mymodernlook #handmademodernhome #bathroomrenovation #bathroomreno #beforeandafter #beforeandafterrenovation #bedrosianstile #loweshomeimprovement #wayfair

Our house renovation has been a mix of DIY, working alongside contractors, and also hiring out projects for work we haven’t done before, such as tiling! But like most people who work with contractors, sometimes there can be hiccups.. When our contractor came to install the backsplash, we had to leave to go to a wedding so before we left we told him how we wanted it to look (vertical pickets). Well... when we got home later that night, he had installed it horizontally! He had only finished half of it, and for a second I thought about just leaving it because it looked fine horizontal, but I had my heart set on it being vertical.. So we peeled it all off before it dried too much, and scraped off the mortar and had him redo it the next time he came to work. Only a few pieces couldn’t be reused so thankfully we didn’t need to buy much more replacement tile! Some of you are probably wondering why we didn’t just have our contractor take it out, but we wanted to try to save as much of the tile as possible by taking it off before the mortar dried. It only took an hour or so, so we didn’t mind it at all! Anyone have any contractor stories to share? • • • #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #showemyourstyled #currenthomeview #smmakelifebeautiful #designsponge #makehomematter #mymidcenturymix #kismetcheckoutmyhouse #standoutstyling #jessimobsessed #currentdesignsituation #mymodernlook #gtwdesign #hunkerhome #mycrispcasa #handmademodernhome #kitchenrenovation #kitchenreno #peepmypad #thatroomiseverything
