How We Turned a $50  Dining Hutch into an Office Bookcase

How We Turned a $50 Dining Hutch into an Office Bookcase

  I needed something both pretty and practical to put all of my office supplies into. I found a dining hutch on craigslist for $50 and planned to remove the doors, paint it  and use it as an office bookcase. Along the way I thought of other ways to modify it and make it even […]

A Sweet Little Farmhouse Style Gray Buffet Makeover

Five Easy DIY Projects to Do on a Small Budget

Five Easy DIY Projects to Do on a Small Budget

We’ve spent the last couple of years making major changes to our house, and I love how far we’ve come. Although we’ve done easy diy projects we’ve also done some massive ones.

The Easiest Way to Update a Boring, Flat Door

The Easiest Way to Update a Boring, Flat Door

While we were updating our laundry room and back hall, we painted all of the trim and doors white. I thought white paint would be a good fix for our ugly, beige  flat door that leads to our garage. But all it did was make it an ugly, boring WHITE flat door. #FAIL We didn’t […]

21 of the Prettiest Farmhouse Style Porches for Your Inspiration

In the last few days I’ve seen friends posting pics of their front porches enjoying spring weather. Those friends live way further south than I do. It’s 28 degrees here so it’s not porch time yet. Even when its cold, it’s still fun to look at porches and think about how to decorate when spring […]

Farmhouse Style Farm Decor CentsibleChateau.com

Farmhouse Style Porch Decor

Confession time. I have never achieved my farmhouse style porch goals or even come close! Houses with gorgeous farmhouse style porches have always been my favorite. I look at them and then stick a planter on my stoop and never do anything else. Then I forget to water the plant and it dies. Doesn’t that […]

Farmhouse Style Christmas Pillows

Farmhouse Style Christmas Pillows

We just got back from a glorious sunny vacation to the beach and it’s absolutely frigid outside. It’s supposed to snow this weekend which isn’t that unusual here, but its still sad for sun lovers like me. It’s a good time to catch up on my binge-watching and Christmas decor planning.

Small Budget Laundry Room Makeover

Small Budget Laundry Room Makeover

Do you have a space in your home that you don’t decorate even though its ugly, because nobody sees it? That was my laundry room. I wanted to give it a farmhouse laundry room makeover but I  didn’t want to spend a lot of money updating it.  I had so many other projects to do, […]

farmhouse lemon decor

Zesty Farmhouse Lemon Decor

I’m so in love with zesty farmhouse lemon decor (zesty pun intended). I’m not sure when my lemon obsession started. It could have been because I binge watched the cutest  show, called Hart of Dixie, where a girl named Lemon was the character everyone loves to hate. Maybe it started when I tried the  Meyer […]

How to Get Pottery Barn Paint Colors at Bargain Prices

How to Get Pottery Barn Paint Colors at Bargain Prices

If you’re like me, picking a paint color is a nightmare. I love the Pottery Barn paint colors used in their catalog, but they are found at the Sherwin Williams store for $50 a gallon. Way too much for me. The Magnolia Home Paint at Target is $47 a gallon! When I discovered how people […]

How to Install Concealed Hinges on Cabinet Doors

Our laundry room is moving along nicely but I’ve added another quick project! When we removed the cabinet doors I realized I really wanted concealed hinges installed before we put them back up.
