Other Projects

Welcome to my blog where I post all about my DIY home projects!  Some are little, and some are big, but all make a big difference when you put them together!   My favorite home improvement by far is furniture makeovers!  Whether it is a piece of furniture in my house that just needs a fancy facelift, or a unique item that I find out the world like at a yard sale, I absolutely love bringing it back to its former glory in a new way!  Sometimes finding time can be tricky when it comes to DIY projects, but I hope my posts inspire you to take the small bites, make the ideas your own, and always enjoy the process.

Creative Solution for a Small Ugly: The Faded Handle

Every now and then I will post simple and creative solution to something that annoys me in our house – these are the small uglies. You do not have to simply put up with these eyesores! I call this project The Handle.

Hi There!

There are no small projects, just small expectations!  Just remember that modest progress can build up into big gains.

My name is Hilary.  I love painting furniture (and almost anything else), decorating and home DIY!  I have had a lot of successes, a lot of failures, and quite a few lessons along the way. Come along and enjoy the journey with me!  Please note that I cannot stand chemicals or harsh smells and always choose gentle products when possible.
