(Day-Lab DIY) I know we are soooo not even close to getting to the kitchen, but I want to post this picture now for future reference. Take a look at Amy Shutt’s before-and-after photos from her low-budget kitchen renovation. Again, it is totally amazing what paint can do. Her tutorial and advice are worth taking […]

rehab inspiration
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Scavenged Stuff(DesignSponge) Keep rehab projects like this one in mind going forward!

floors, more options
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Master BedroomDo you think Chloe would try to eat a rug like this? Flor tiles are like finished squares of carpet that stick to the floor (but are removable and washable). This could be a nice option for a long rug at the foot of the bed.

storage
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Master BedroomThe hamper system is not working out, Adam! And your closet is making me sad. The dresser is very large (and solid wood), but it comes flat-packed, so you’ll be able to carry the boxes upstairs and assemble it on-site. I like the matching bedside table, too, and I think it will look very pretty […]
