Tomorrow we’re moving into our new apartment and my list of DIY’s to try for the new place is a mile long. But alas, we’re renting, so I’m trying to reign in my DIY obsessions, targeting only those DIY’s that I can pick up and move to city number two in just under two years. I put together a list of the projects that are musts … here’s to hoping I get around to them all!
1. Gold-dipped jars + bottles. Really I want to gold-dip everything, but I’ve been keeping my obsession at bay in the last few months because I knew we were moving. But come summer, I’m dipping and spray-painting errythang. {Image via Style Me Pretty}
2. DIY Jewelry Display. This jewelry display, created by Lulu Frost and the girls of Honestly WTF, has been on my “wtf, I must have that!” list since I spotted it back in early February. I made a good and proper pouty face at hubby the other day, batted my eyelashes, and handed him a just-baked cookie, and voila – he promised to help me drill and glue and put one of these bad boys together for our new place. Success! {Step-by-step instructions via Honestly WTF}
3. DIY White Frame Gallery Wall. I’m dreaming of a clean space – probably on a bedroom wall – where I can fill in inspiration, shoot blog photos, and practice my spray-painting skills. {Via Cheetah is the New Black}
4. DIY Mix-and-Match Dining Space. I’m dreaming of a much funkier dining area. Though the space will be small, we love to eat and entertain, and I’d love an eating space that really represents us. I’d love to mix-and-match the chairs and possibly re-finish our ordinary brown dining table. {Check out more of my eclectic dining room inspiration on my Kitchens + Dining Pinterest Board; Image via Design Rulz}
5. A well-organized entryway. Because we’re moving to a smaller space, I want to make the most of the room that we have. And our new place actually has a cute little entryway that we could use for storage. {This entryway was created using products from Ikea, making it a budget-friendly design … a.k.a., my kind of project!}
What DIY projects for the home have you seen and fallen in love with as of late? Any tips or tricks for decorating a small space?
