Fri, 27 Jan 2012 By Decorchick! 78 Comments

Pink and grey room

Yes it’s true. Our master bedroom has undergone a few changes yet again. When I started using the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint toward the end of last year, I couldn’t stop. And I ended up painting all of our furniture in our bedroom white. And then I decided to go pink and grey with the [...]

Overstock Chandelier

Hi everyone! I started the breakfast room redo a few months ago (maybe more), and finally just finished it. Hooray for several month long projects! ;) Here is the before, of when I redid it the last time… I got tired of the Tobacco Road and repainted the kitchen (Sherwin Williams Balanced Beige) to go [...]

Patio before

I don’t think I’ve ever shown you all our patio, and we actually have a nice one! We had it added on about 2 years ago. Having a patio is pretty much a must in Texas, and when we bought our home all that was there was a tiny little square piece of concrete, and [...]

Long Living Room Curtains

Umm, hello new luscious long drapes that totally transformed our living room! Where have you been all my life? Over the weekend I spent 4 hours on one of those death metal ladders hanging up the curtain rod. It wasn’t fun. Not at all. But, it was well worth the sacrifice to have those lovely [...]

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 By Decorchick! 131 Comments

I’m beyond excited to show you our new master bedroom…again! I explained in this post why I decided to change it up again. But the biggest change in here was just paint. Paint is your friend, and a cheap friend. When I redid our master bedroom back in June last year, I did love that [...]

A Dining Room Turned Office

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 By Decorchick! 196 Comments

*Update–the office now has wood floors!* Dining rooms are so overrated right? :) Since I had been wanting to redo the dining room for quite some time now, the hubby and I decided to turn it into an office. Because in all honesty, the formal dining room was used as an actual dining room maybe [...]

How To: Fake Wainscoting

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 By Decorchick! 205 Comments

Remember my “Difference Molding Can Make” post? If you don’t, I’ll be nice and show you the after picture again when we put up the chair rail and framed boxes… I liked it, but wanted to try something different. We have textured walls, so I was a little scared to try this, but I have [...]

I did another little project over the weekend with the 4 remaining little flower pots I found at the thrift store recently. You can click here for that post. We have this area above our front door in the entryway… So I decided to use my 4 little pots and sit them on the ledge [...]

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 By Decorchick! 162 Comments

Have you inherited an ugly piece of furniture whenever you got married? I have. It was our dining room buffet table. I’ve lived with it for 4 years now, and it was time for an overhaul when I found this hutch at Goodwill to go on top of it. Goodwill had it marked for $99, [...]

Front Porch Facelift

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 By Decorchick! 77 Comments

First of all, I don’t really think what we have is considered a “porch” but I didn’t know what else to call it. Entryway, walkway, or is it a porch? So, here is our porch (or entryway, walkway?) before. And this picture was from December when it snowed because I was a bad blogger and [...]
