DIY Inspiration & Tutorials

My friend, Kari of Newlyweds on a Budget just did a great makeover of her kitchen for under $50.  Yup.  Isn't that amazing?  Check out this after picture of her kitchen makeover on a budget.



Kari's project has me inspired to do some home improvement projects.  So, where do we all look for inspiration?  Pinterest, of course.  Here are some great tutorials I found that you might like.

How to paint chevron stripes on a textured wall from Casa Cullen

"Hardwood floor" from plywood from Tidbits from the Tremaynes.  Who'd have thought you could do this!


I think this Paper Mache Animal Head from Lil Blue Boo is pretty cool!

Thrifty Decor Chick shares her tutorial for this awesome Planked Wall.

The DIY Network shares 8 Things You Didn't Know You Could Paint and one of them is this counter top that was painted using Thomas' Liquid Stainless Steel (I've got to try this)

How cool is this Sliding Barn Door tutorial from Baby Rabies?

Floating Shelves are so sleek and this tutorial from Sand and Sisal will have you building your own!


Washer and Dryer Pedestals - See how to build your own at Just a Girl.

How about a Wood countertop for just $10!  Cleverly Inspired shows you how!

Are you inspired yet?  I sure am....now where did I put my measuring tape?
