Rustic Farmhouse Style Bathroom Design Plans and Before Pics

We’re creating a Rustic Farmhouse Style Bathroom Design with budget decor. The flooring, vanity, fixtures, vanity top, mirror and bathtub in our guest bathroom are all being updated.

See all of the design elements we are using to create our rustic farmhouse style bathroom! CentsibleChateau.com

After four years in our house, we are finally tackling the super ugly guest bathroom! This was our boys’ bathroom while they were home from college and now it’s our guest bathroom. To say it had a serious case of the beiges would be an understatement. Beige walls, beige floors, beige bathtub, beige counter, beige sink. The only thing in the bathroom that wasn’t in the brown family was the gold light. . So now we have planned the bathroom makeover and I’m going to share my design ideas with you. First, I’m going to torture you with the beige ugliness.

DIY Restoration Hardware Wall Shelf for Under $20

After installing this shelf during our laundry room makeover, a friend pointed out that it looks just like a restoration hardware wall shelf  that costs hundreds of dollars . Of course I was thrilled. There’s nothing better than knowing I can help people save a ton of money. Our shelf was really cheap to make, and so simple to install. The board was around $5 and the plumbing pieces were a couple of dollars each (and they are cheaper if you buy in bulk). You can make this DIY Restoration Hardware wall shelf even if you don’t own a saw!

How to Replace Your Deck with a Lowe’s Composite Deck by Tropics

This post was sponsored by Lowe’s Home Improvement. All of the opinions of the Tropics Composite Deck and other Lowe’s products, are our own.

It has been a long hard winter in western New York. We are well into spring and it was still snowing just last week. So what did we do? We decided to install a deck. 😉 Well, Mike did all of the work and he was out there in snow, sleet, ice, rain and wind. He really couldn’t get a break with the weather, but even with mother nature working against him he got it installed in time for warm temps! Although it was time consuming, the installation process was easy enough for him to do on his own. In this post he’s sharing how  to install the Tropics Composite Deck from Lowe’s.

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 plan on doing anything else to the door. But we also didn’t originally plan on  Extending our laundry room cabinets to the ceiling or Installing concealed hinges on our cabinet doors.

So what’s one more surprise project, right?

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. The husband just loves making me happy (or is it that he loves playing with new tools?)so he installed them for me. At first he was worried it wouldn’t work because our cabinet doors are quite thin, but where there’s a will there’s a way(my will, his way)!

Easy Furniture Makeover with Rustoleum Aged Gray Chalk Paint

This charming little piece of vintage fun sits in my foyer. She’s been a cute teal color for a few years. It was time for a change and I decided to use chalk paint to give her a makeover!

Easy Furniture Makeover with Rustoleum Aged Gray Chalk Paint

Chalk paint seems really different and overwhelming if you haven’t used it before, but I promise it’s so easy! It is the perfect paint to use on an already finished piece because you don’t have to strip the old paint. [Read more…]

10 Beautiful Farmhouse Style Kitchen Makeovers



10 Beautiful Farmhouse Style Kitchen Makeovers

You’ve never seen a picture of my kitchen (at least I hope not) and I promise you there is a very good reason. We bought this house because of the location, layout and potential. We did not buy it because of the kitchen. It’s fine, it’s functional and its hid-e-ous.  Yet, every time I think about renovating it I choose a different project. A kitchen remodel is overwhelming in every way. So many choices, so much time, so much mess and soooo much money. With the cost of kitchens these days you can do like 700 other house projects or one kitchen.
