This island was painted gray mdf. I covered it with peel and stick wood veneer, built some new doors and now she’s the island I’d been dreaming of. Want to see the whole transformation? I have it in a highlight bubble in my profile. It’s kinda shocking. Have you ever thought about refacing instead of replacing your cabinets? It’s easier that you think to diy! #refacingcabinets #woodveneer #woodveneering #woodveneers #kitchenrenovation #kitchenglowup #kitchenisland #diyrenovation #diykitchencabinets #diykitchenisland #womenwoodworkers #oneroomchallenge #homerenovations #kitchentransformation #kitchentrends #makehomeyours #stainedkitchencabinets #stainedkitchenisland #stainedkitchencabinetry #prettyandoverlooked #crappyiphonepicsaremyjam #modlivingstylerooms

I don’t know if he’d say yes if I asked him again 😂😂😂 we were young, naive and fearless but we did it. With two little kids, working full time and limited funds. We learned so so much about building and home construction and I wouldn’t change it for the world. But if I’d do one thing differently I wouldn’t demo a black shingle roof in the middle of July. Now that shi* was crazy. What’s a diy you’ve done that you got too deep in to turn back and just had to push through and make it happen?

In addition to remodeling our kitchen island I’ve been slowly working my way around the house installing door casings and baseboards. But today I cleaned this table and dusted the light (okay, Sienna dusted the light) and aside from the shutters I’d like to modify and the glare on my fighters face this little spot makes me smile every time I walk in the kitchen. What’s one spot in your house that makes you smile every time you see it?

I’m just a chick who didn’t listen to anyone who said it couldn’t be done. I converted my stainless steel - NOT panel ready dishwasher into a paneled front dishwasher and I’m here to show you the way. I find inexpensive ways to take your house to the next level.

Sketching, rendering, whatever. Even though I can see it in my mind I still like to get it all on paper. Now, show me yours and tag me. 👊🏼

I don’t expect this progress photo to get much action (especially since I didn’t even bother to clear off the countertop 🤷🏼‍♀️.) However, I promised I’d post more progress type stuff and so tada here it is 🙌🏼 high five to progress photos and turning our stuff into whatever the heck we want it to.

Any guesses what color range I’ll be staining this? 🤗

(If you want to see more I saved a highlight bubble about adding veneer and new trim to this island. Tomorrow I’ll have a post up on the blog detailing it too.) Next week I’ll be building new doors.

This week on our blog (link in bio) I shared how I build my shaker doors for Ikea cabinets-specifically their kitchen line “sektion”. Awhile ago I stopped sharing on the blog and started sharing tutorials in my highlights/stories. I thought people didn’t read blogs anymore. But you know what else I learned? It really sucks to have to find a highlight, hold it down, read everything, then click back, then click forward, then remember who shared that highlight to reference later when you want to actually do the project. So, I’m kinda over that. I’ll be posting my tutorials on the blog for easy reference and I’ll be reminding you they’re there in my stories. I hope that makes it easier for you to find and bookmark any projects I’ve done so you can go back and try them yourself later. If you want updates on when I post, make sure you subscribe to my blog. I don’t send spam. I think spam sucks too. . . . . #diyshakerdoors #shakerdoors #buildyourowncabinets #ikeahacks #ikeahackers #ikeahackersofficial @ikeahackersofficial @ikeahack #oakcabinets #oakshakerdoor #diybathroom #diybathroomremodel #oneroomchallenge #bhgstylemaker #bhglivebetter #bhghome #bhgorc #peonypopocolor

This past week I’ve been having Evie and Sienna make all the flooring cuts and it occurred to me that maybe not everyone knows the best place to line their marks up for quick and precise cuts. When you align your mark to the fence it’s really hard to see where your blade will cut through it…but if you put your mark opposite of the fence, you can bring the blade down and place it right on the mark and make sure you don’t miss your cut. If you’ve got a tip, share it, if you do it this way already, tell me, if you’re wondering why you hadn’t thought of this yet, let me know! Comment below 👇🏼
