A Little Cute, A Little Unexpected
The last shart story was almost two years ago so I am so excited to present to you… NUMBER TWO. That’s right, Shart Stories Episode 2 is here and, you guys, this is hilarious. This was submitted anonymously. Ready for some serious giggles? Here ya go. So here’s the deal, it’s brief. I was maybe 12 or 13 years old, in high school and getting changed for P.E. We always used
I have another room makeover for ya. It might seem like I’m making over every room in the house; I’m not. My OCD won’t let me share something that isn’t “done” – and when is a room truly done? Never. So, like the master bedroom, the dining room has been making a slow transformation from inherited-from-mom to colorful eclectic modern since last December. Like, literally the day after the magazine
Do you remember when Pinterest was invite only? Seems like forever ago… which is also about when “paint chip art” became a huge thing. And, of course I made one. It’s been sitting in the basement for three years now and, since I needed some large scale art for the dining room, I decided I would paint over the paint chips. I thought that a coat of high gloss white
Going through photos of our master bedroom to find examples of this… uh, evolution… has been hilarious. Not like laugh-until-I-cry hilarious but more like a why-did-I-wear-seven-scrunchies-in-my-hair-on-picture-day kinda hilarious. Hilariously embarrassing. Which is always funny. Spoiler alert – this is the “after” photo. I have to show this first so I can make excuses about all the embarrassing pics to come. So bad. Here we go, the evolution of a master
When I shared our vintage guest bedroom, I think I said I would share the other guest room that recently got a “shop-your-house” makeover. The pics didn’t turn out so great, so I retook them. Once again they came out lookin’ not so great. So, I just had to come to the realization that maybe the whole bedroom is just not as cute as I thought. Which is fine because
Back in March I shared a Dwell with Dignity makeover sponsored by Codarus and mentioned a faux tarnished brass finish that I did on one of the dressers. It’s so easy and pretty cheap. I’ve got a quick video and some deets on that project today along with this plastic thrift store gator that got the same faux finish. Here’s where the dresser started: Cody wanted it painted baby pink with brass details
Are you ready for a vintage guest room makeover?! So, I wasn’t going to share this, because it’s really not a makeover, but then I went back and looked at the before images and thought, “honkin’ crap, Dena, what were you thinking that first time around?!” So I thought I’d bring it to the blog to 1) have my “what the funk” moment in public so we can laugh and, 2)
I feel so on top of my game right now. I’m sure it won’t last long but this is this first time ever in the history of shartland that I have a gift idea for a holiday that hasn’t already passed. What?! Mother’s Day is fast approaching and for those of you looking for an easy DIY gift idea for Mom, here ya go, a DIY Mother’s Day Mug. My
I’ve shared our kitchen before so this is more of an evolution than a makeover. But since it’s been in a magazine (Is she still talking about that?! Yes.
