This week, I’m working on creating a beautiful n This week, I’m working on creating a beautiful nursery for my best friends new baby boy. I added picture molding to the crib wall using miter shears but I wasn’t loving the way the corners were turning out in some places. (Like to the point the dang corners we’re keeping me up last night thinking about it 😆) I decided this morning… SCREW IT. I’m redoing it. I removed all of the trim from the wall and completely started over from scratch. I know… I’m insane 😂 It took me a fraction of the time on the second attempt and now looks SO GOOD. I share this because I want you to know DIYs never go perfectly, even for me, and it’s ok to make mistakes and learn. PERSEVERE EVERY TIME. I promise… it’s worth it 😘 Ok so now… what color should we paint the wall?! #featurewall #trimwork #diyhomeprojects #diyhome #diyhomeimprovement #homeimprovement #womenwhobuild #homedepot #mitersaw

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

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!?

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.

Tips? Tag someone who has a door like this that might want to upgrade theirs! #entryway #frontdoor #frontporch #homeimprovement #homeimprovementprojects #homeimprovements
