There is not much that makes a statement in a room like a large graphic print rug. While designing her son’s big boy room, Aggie from Wool and Flax knew she wanted to incorporate a black and white herringbone rug into the space. She also knew she didn’t want to spend a lot of money. Aggie happened to have an old rug in the closet and thought, “Why not make my own herringbone rug!” Out came the paint and tape, and Addie ended up spending only $5 for the fabric medium!

Diane from In My Own Style has recently embarked on a revamp of her downstairs bathroom. While Diane doesn’t know exactly what her plans for the small space involve, she does know a vintage, yet modern and colorful light fixture is part of the equation. Diane got just the look she wanted with an inexpensive metal fixture from Lowes and a can of spray paint. She says, “I could not be happier with my DIY results, plus I got to paint the light exactly the color I envisioned.” Oh the wonders of spray paint!

Valentine’s Day may be over, but that doesn’t mean we have to pack up all the hearts. Jennifer from Endlessly Inspired created this heart-covered pillow that’s neutral enough to grace your space year round. Jennifer used two different shades of linen to make her pillow, and it still only cost her $9.50, which is a far cry from the $198 price tag of her inspiration. She did an amazing job achieving the beautifully frayed edges of her inspiration, and you won’t even believe how simple it was!

While updating her family room, Jenna from SAS Interiors wanted to bring some darker tones into the space to contrast all the white elements. She already had a metal-framed coffee table with glass top and shelves and did a quick update by replacing the glass with wood planks for a more industrial look. Here’s from Jenna: “After having this coffee table for 10 years…, I’m thrilled that I was able to create a solution to continue using it instead of bringing in something new.”

Brandi from Blue Cedar Lane was hitting her favorite shopping spot (aka Goodwill) when she saw a blindingly bright orange flower vase. The vase reminded Brandi of one she had been eyeing at Anthropologie so she grabbed it up. With some paint Brandi was able to achieve the same color combo she loved about her inspiration.
