DIY Day

Today, I am determined. 
I will do something. 
I will do more than one something. 
I will finish each project I start.

Confession: I'm posting this from my Draft's. 
I didn't even finish the blog post last night. Whoops! 
Oh, and my 'Pinteresting Canvas Art' is not complete either.
I'll finish it up today and post my results. So far, I have a few Pinterest Fails under my belt and no real success stories.


Lookie what I got! A complete color chart thingy from Behr. How awesome is this?!

Flowerpot Makeover:
$1.98 flowerpot from Lowes
$3 scrapbook rub-on's from Michael's
Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Clear Gloss Finish from Wal-Mart

Disclaimer: I can not vouch for the longevity of this little DIY, but I will update this post when/if they start to come off. So far so good.  
 This damn thing both infuriated me and completely grossed me out. I did learn, however, that the next time I buy a house (if there is a next time) I will require the previous owners to remove their own black garbage disposal thingy because holy freakin nasty! I couldn't even get the damn thing out. There was so much grossness that I had to soak it with Goo Gone for a good 20 mins and pried it out with a butter knife and scissors. Gagging the whole time. But...
VICTORY IS MINE
and yes, because of my struggle, I deemed this blogworthy.






Next up, the guest bathroom. 
This is a job for the Mr.
Changing out the ugly old faucet and adding a way cute new one.  
P.S. How bout the $2.99 Pier 1 toothbrush holder.
THRIFTED - Score!
(ignore the mirror - thinking about 
doing this to it later, but that's a whole other post)


 




Its going to be
HOT HOT HOT!
I'm so going to love it!!
Cannot wait to post the AFTER pictures of this Home DIY.




 Aww, My Mr. hard at work! ^^

  4. ooh gross. not really sure what state such a thing can get into, but i can imagine.
    nice taps make such a difference. a touch of luxury, no matter how ordinary, or thrifted, or cheap even!, the rest of the bathroom.

    chuckling that it was a draft post too... heehee

  5. Whoo! Go you! There's a garbage disposal in my sink and I don't even know how it got there because such things don't exist in the UK; I don't know how the previous owners managed to buy one; I had to google how to use it (with running water? without running water?); I think all the blades are blunt but I can't even get parts to repair it. So... I guess my point is, "Oooh! Jealous!"

    1. No garbage disposal in the UK, what! Oh and I believe the blades are suppose to be blunt. I don't know. I'm just glad to get rid of the awful smell that was coming from that area. :P
