Have you been following along with me @comestayawh Have you been following along with me @comestayawhile for the front porch saga? It all started a few weeks ago when my new front door finally came in and was the wrong color 🙈 I took matters into my own hands and transformed the door myself! One thing led to another and now I’ve updated the door, removed the railings and corbels and added new porch columns! 😍 Now… should I paint them white or stain them to match the door? 🤔 #curbappeal #frontporch #porchdecor #frontporchproject #homeimprovement #curbappealmatters #homeupgrades #diyhomeprojects #diyhome
5 MINUTE GARAGE DOOR MAKEOVER! 🪄 Have you ever 5 MINUTE GARAGE DOOR MAKEOVER! 🪄 Have you ever seen these magnetic garage door accents?! . I bought a pack of faux magnetic windows and a pack of black magnetic hardware for under $40 on Amazon… don’t walk… RUNNNNN. Instant curb appeal upgrade! #garagedoor #garagedoors #curbappeal #homeimprovement #homeimprovements #amazonfinds #amazonfind
Follow along with me @comestayawhile for more budg Follow along with me @comestayawhile for more budget friendly DIY! Can you even believe this is the same door??? 😭 Incase you missed it… last week the new door I ordered finally came in after 8 weeks of waiting and it was the wrong color 😒 Impatient me didn’t wanna wait for a new one so I decided to try and makeover the one I had on a budget! HELLOOO BEAUTIFUL 😍 How to paint faux wood: 1. Clean + prep the door 2. Use an exterior paint to paint 2 coats of your base color. (I used Rookwood Brown by SW) 3. Lightly apply a gel stain with a brush (I used the color Coffee) and wipe with a staining pad to blend 4. Viola! A brand new door! To really make your transformation complete, paint the frame to match + remove the storm door if you have one. Our door is fiberglass but you could use this technique on all materials. The stain brush helps you get the wood grain texture. I AM OBSESSED 👏🏼 Are you ready to tackle yours now!? Inspo: @makingprettyspaces garage doors 😍😍😍 #entryway @beforeafter_ideas #frontdoor @pubity #frontdoordecor #frontdoorgoals #homeimprovements #homehacks #fauxwood
This is a project I promise you are not going to w This is a project I promise you are not going to want to miss! Follow along with me @comestayawhile well I take my outdated front door and turn it into a faux wood modern masterpiece! …Well at least that’s the plan 😂 do you think it’s gonna turn out??? #entryway #frontdoor #frontporch #homeimprovement #homeimprovementprojects #homeimprovements @pubity @beforeafter_ideas
I’m thinking about painting my island an accent I’m thinking about painting my island an accent color! What do you think? I usually swap my rugs out a few times a year and it always makes a space feel fresh and new. I just got a new kitchen runner from @ruggable and my favorite thing about it is that it is MACHINE WASHABLE! 🤯 Rugs don’t stand a chance in our house with our 3 dogs and toddler running around 😂 I recently discovered that Ruggable now makes cushioned pads for their rugs for added support! There is nothing worse than spending money on a nice run only for it to get ruined. Machine washable is a complete game changer. Worth every penny! This is the 2.5x7’ Sarrah Hazel Runner.

On a scale of 1 to you’re dead… how close am I On a scale of 1 to you’re dead… how close am I when TJ gets home? ☠️ I had the bright idea to try and replace the gold plated glass on our front door and I’m in over my head here… follow along to see if I can pull this off! 😂 Has anyone done this before? Tips? Tag someone who has a door like this that might want to upgrade theirs! #entryway #frontdoor #frontporch #homeimprovement #homeimprovementprojects #homeimprovements
This might be one of my favorite makeovers in this This might be one of my favorite makeovers in this house. Which upgrade do you think made the biggest difference? Floors, backsplash or paint? When we were house hunting I REALLY wanted a bright white kitchen… for a few months we lived with the dark cabinets hoping it would grow on me but it didn’t. I decided to pick up my power tools and make my dream kitchen happen by myself! Follow along with me @comestayawhile so I can teach you how you can do it too! #kitchenmakeover #kitchenrenovation #kitchenreno #backsplash #herringbonetile #hometransformation #roommakeover #makehomeyours
