DIY Decorating - Blogger Projects

THIS POST IS FROM ROOM REMIX - THE BLOG .

Urban Nest did a wonderful job painting a graphic statement wall in her foyer...


After the Before but Before the After decided to expand on the idea and created this dramatic focal wall in her family room!


As we all know, there are a LOT of creative bloggers out there! I never cease to be amazed at the creativity and motivation. Today I'm spotlighting some of the creative ideas/projects that I've saved. Clicking on the links provided will take you to the complete post for each project.

You know I love the idea of updating chandeliers with drum shades. This DIY shade was made by Living in the 513 using campaign signs and fabric! Creative or what?

And many of you may have already seen this on YHL, but I had to share The Keylors drum shade that they made with hoops, plexiglass and burlap!

Did you know that you could dye leather? Tatertots & Jello featured Kaysi from Keeping It Simple's leather chair transformation using dye. Complete tutorial here.

Using this Pottery Barn image as inspiration,


Lakeitha from Home To Three Duncan Boys created this fun bedroom for her son. I like the way she mixed it up a bit from the inspiration photo by, for example, painting blue and white stripes in the closet versus using the striped duvet. Two other favorites in the room are the pallet headboard and the DIY light fixture. Click here for more room photos, and here for a source list.


Erika at Blu Label Bungalow designed this fabulous boy's room. My favorites are the stripes and the wall grouping!


Her design also included this clever book sling. She has an excellent tutorial so that you can make your own HERE.


Chic Coles takes these chairs (a score on Craig's List) from boring black to fabulous turquoise! Love it!



Candace at Crafty Sisters took an old dresser from this

to this. Yes, she built the hutch herself! If you like the cute metal signs, she made those too and shows you how here.

Have an awesome day!
