My New DIY Blog

It's definitely been a while since I hopped on our family blog. I've been up to a lot lately with getting my new DIY blog up and running! I still have so many tutorials to film and post! But I'm having a lot of fun with it!

 

Here are some of the things you can find on my new blog. A lot of budget friendly projects to spice up your home decor. Whether it be from holiday decorating to redecorating a bedroom...I've been coming up with some really fun and easy ideas that work within my budget and taste. I hope you have some fun with it!

Here's the link to my blog:

Mommy Makes Things

 

Repainted our front door

 

$10 Thrift Project

 DIY Chalkboard

 Can't forget some practically FREE DIY Autumn Decor

 Easy Antique Lamp makeover

  Repainted our kitchen cabinets...and walls. I will have better pictures coming once the complete kitchen makeover transformation is complete. It's a $200 makeover that will look like we spent thousands! I am so so glad I came up with this DIY route instead. It just goes to show that ANYONE can transform their home into their dream on a tight budget!

I will also feature more details about painting our cabinets but I'm redoing them first. I wasn't as happy with the staining result so I'm doing a little glazing method instead!

 

 Up next, we are working on a DIY Faux Granite Countertop and a DIY backsplash...cannot WAIT

 I created this cubed accent wall behind our TV that we LOVE

 And I'm almost finished with our Triplet Bedroom Makeover transformation! I have been soooo excited to share this one! I did almost everything myself and as soon as Grandma Linda is done making the blankets I designed, it will be complete! You will melt. But here's my favorite piece in the room.

Another little DIY sneak peek of the triplets' room

 

 We finally got a dresser to share in our master bedroom. Have I mentioned how much I love D.I. thrifting?

 

 Another thing keeping me busy is that I planned on making a lot of the girls winter clothes myself to save money and add trendy character. I love all the darling leggings out there in the Etsy shops and boutiques. Easy enough to make myself so I'm adding a lot of that to their closet! Can't wait to work on the rest!

 Another great DI Project. Each of these frames cost $1 at the DI Thrift store. I painted, stenciled and modge podged over them and had the husband screw them all together so that it's one big piece. I'll be modge podging some stuff on the plaques and I'll share when it's filled and complete on our wall! But I'm a little in love. $11 giant, unique collage frame? Can't beat that, baby.

BTW, don't you get a kick out of how someone left a picture of their kids in a frame when they donated it? I sure do...

 Last, I made an easy Starburst Mirror. Small but makes a big difference.
