DIY Rug Makeover
Do you have a dingy sad-looking rug sitting somewhere in your house? Instead of tossing it or hiding it, you might try giving it a new look with the help of painter's tape and acrylic paint.
Here's what my rug looked like before the start of the project. Sad, faded, and crying out for a refresh:
Since my rug had a crisp contemporary pattern, I did not have to remake a design with the painter's tape, but instead filled in the existing design with paint. Instead of spending the money on a brand new rug, painting it was a good solution.
See the difference between the painted and the non-painted areas:

Using standard acrylic paint in cobalt blue and black, I gave the rug one coat of paint.
It took me only a few hours to finish this project, but love the pop of color!
And, here is how it looks in its original space. What a massive difference!

Craft Room/ Study Reveal
Instead of sharing boring and sweaty pictures of putting this place together, I figured I’d just share the good! So without further ado, I wanted to share a quick tour around my new craft room (before decorating!!!) and of my new craft room basic set-up.
When we were looking for a new house, I was sure I needed a space for me for my crafts and my office supplies and I am so happy with how it is turning out! Besides looking fun and quirky, I also needed it to be functional for both of us. It took a bit of brainstorming, moving and adding things until I finally got it where it needed to be. Let's take a look!
You can see in the before photo that we basically painted it bright white like all the other rooms in the house bringing in a lot of natural light through the high windows. Loved it, and made the room look so much bigger than it actually was!
I went on and doodled one wall of the room to give it some color, texture and a quirky personality. It has turn out super fun!
