Stylish entryway makeover

by Simona Ganea, posted in DIY, on December 8th, 2011

This is a lovely home. All the rooms are inviting and stylish, except for the entryway. At last that’s the way things were until Linda, the owner of this house, decided to give it a makeover. The entryway was seriously lacking functionality and it was also looking bad compared to the rest of the house.

So Linda decided to change all that by giving it a more dramatic look. She started by changing the colors. The brown and blue were replaced by gray and black. Also, the white trims look beautiful. The door has also been replaced. And now for the functional part. In order to make the entryway a little more functional, Linda added some much needed coat hooks along the walls.

Nice DIY Mason Jar Soap Dispenser

by Simona Strachinaru, posted in DIY, on December 5th, 2011

I remember those wonderful summer holidays that I have spent at the country side at my grandparents. The fresh air, the nature, all the animals and birds, the natural and tasty food were things that composed this entire wonderful rustic universe. All the day long I was outside and trying to help my grandparents at different things like: feeding the animals, bringing them water too, cleaning the yard or helping them preparing the breakfast, lunch or dinner.

One of the inconvenient was that dust was everywhere and all the time my hands were not so clean. Perhaps a soap dispenser was a real need since my grandparents were using just a simple soap which needed to be put in a special place.The next DIY project reminded me of this problem and its nice result which can be perfect for such a situation.

Practical DIY Mason Storage by Liz Marie

by Simona Strachinaru, posted in DIY, on December 4th, 2011

It is said that a woman spends more time in a bathroom than a man. This is true if you take into consideration that a woman is very preoccupied with her exterior aspect and pays attention to every detail of it. You may also think of the fact that a woman wears more accessories than a man; she pays attention to the way her hair is arranged and takes care of her make up too. Men seem to be less concerned about all these items and have only a few accessories that need to take care of.

The idea is that bathroom still remains a place where women take care of their look and here they should to find everything they need for this purpose. So a woman’s bathroom needs to be very organized and everything should have a precise storage place.
