Sometimes you may feel that in order to have a beautiful home you need to spend a great amount of money.
Wrong!
You may think that in order to do a makeover you need to be an expert.
No, you don’t!
Let me talk to you…
Yes you, the one hoping and wishing, visiting and pinning
but never actually taking the chance to hold a paint brush, or a power tool in your hands.
Can you do it?
Heck yes!
Should you give your own creativity some credit and do something with it?
You bet!
Today’s DIY Affordable Projects will show you that you can create amazing spaces if
you take a chance and make small changes that will have a great impact on the look and feel of your home.
Give your furniture a bit of attitude with an accent color.
I love how my girl Chelsea from Making Home Base painted the legs of her chair to give it a pop of color.
Simple and fabulous!
I also really like how Anu from Nalle’s House embellished this felt basket.
Nothing like putting your personal touch!
Oh my cuteness!
