Here we are, part two of our laundry room series, with our folding/storage unit. Where does your laundry end up when it comes out of the dryer? I feel like the couch is my transition spot from clean to folded. And then the put away part takes longer than I'd like to admit. However, if there was a surface in the laundry room that was big enough to fold my laundry as soon as it came out of the dryer, my problems with two, three...and shamefully, even four days of folded clothes

Welcome to Part 3 of our Outdoor Design Series! With warm weather finally here, an outdoor oasis is exactly what the doctor ordered. When one of Mr. Harbin's co-workers asked if we had any use for a twin bed frame, I immediately said "we'll take it!". Not because we needed a twin bed frame, but because I had an idea floating around in my head that I could make an outdoor daybed and a twin bed frame would be the perfect place to start. No lie, while I did sketch out some ideas

Lets face it, these days, we all could use a little me-time. And some extra storage. And wine. That said, for the record, if you're not much of a drinker, this would also make an excellent coffee/tea/beverage bar. Note: This is what I used for my specific closet-turned-wine-bar. Your dimensions are probably going to be different so make sure you measure everything FIRST (and then measure again) so you don't make any costly mistakes. What I used: Wood: 3/4" plywood (countertop

Do you have a builder grade mirror you want to update? So did we! This project took about a four hours total to complete and cost about 30 bucks!! A quick and easy six step process - too easy! This is how we did it... Step one: Take Measurements Take the measurements of your mirror and and develop an idea. Think about the details: frame thickness, should it go all the way around the mirror, those kinds of things. I wanted mine to be fairly thin because I knew I was painting t

An office desk is a necessity, but sometimes it feels impossible to find the EXACT piece you want. Sometimes, instead of compromising, it's easier to design and build something from scratch that is 100% your dream desk - and chances are it will have a less expensive price tag as well. Win-win. This post is intended to inspire and act as a guide. If you prefer a detailed, step-by-step set of instructions check out our downloadable PDF. You'll get 22 pages that includes the exa

Paint, a long 1x12 piece of lumber, and some brackets are all you need to turn a powder room into something special. When we moved in to our new house in almost every room was a different color. The entry was a mint green, the living room a dark depressing brown, the kitchen an interesting shade of turmeric. The master bedroom was a pastel shade of mauve while the guest bedrooms were orange sherbert and lavender. The dining room had an eye-catching coffered ceiling that pract

How stripping a builder-grade vanity can completely change the atmosphere of your bathroom. Bathroom Vanities can make or break your bathroom vibe. Our home is a run-of-the-mill builder grade style home: cheap finishes, light fixtures, and it's all the same color - beige. Now I like beige, it’s a solid base selection, however our master bathroom was ALL beige, beige tile, walls, everything - just lacking personality. I decided that the vanity in our master bathroom had to b

Painted walls, a handmade countertop (that's simple to make!), and cut-to-size wood shelves completely transforms this tiny laundry room. Keep reading to see how to recreate the look yourself! Before we ever saw our NC home in person, our (absolutely incredible) realtor pointed out in her video tour of the house to us that the laundry room doors had extensive moisture damage and would need to be addressed. We weren't fazed because 1. uhhh, have you seen the housing market? an

It was halfway through a laundry room renovation, in the middle of creating the work surface piece that would sit on cleats above the washer and dryer when I realized there was no level surface that was large enough for the clamped piece to sit on while the wood glue dried other than the floor. I got creative, using the trash bin and table saw as an improvised level-ish surface. Yeah, not exactly ideal. I still needed to sand, stain, and topcoat the laundry room pieces and th

We all have those rooms - the comfortable and stylish furniture, accessories to give it some personality; a functional and perfectly fine space. But there's something missing. Exhibit A: this living room. It's okay. Nice sofa, ottoman, accent chairs. The paintings are vibrant and add color to the room but the way they're displayed isn't quite cutting it (hence the one that's missing because the command strips didn't quite hold). So much untapped potential! We knew we wanted t

When we moved into our new home in September 2021, we hit the ground running when it came to renovations and the kitchen was no exception. By the end of October we had repainted every room in the house AND completely transformed the kitchen cabinets, cleaning, sanding, priming and repainting the existing wood into a cream and deep blue masterpiece. When our household goods were delivered, it included items that had been in storage for YEARS which included a red Kitchenaid mix

Do you have a piece of furniture that you love, but just doesn't go with your style anymore? Can't bear to get rid of it? Can you remove staples, cut fabric and operate a staple gun? If you answered yes, you're in the right place. This mirrored vanity is part of the Pier 1 Hayworth Collection (sadly the design was discontinued recently) and while I have several pieces of this collection, the vanity is my favorite because I love having my own space to sit down in the morning a

@reddesignedinteriors My guess is that you are a do-it-yourself kind of person? Me too! I tend not to purchase items that look like I can make them myself. I am not a professional builder, or carpenter, but I like to think I'm just clever enough to figure out how to get things done. If you happen to think the same then we are going to be good friends! This DIY bath caddy project is one of those, “I can totally make this” items. Now I am not normally a bath person, but the hou

One of our most popular projects, this shallow shelf is the perfect way to make use of an awkward wall in your kitchen.
