Long time readers may remember my brother-in-law has been actively completing lots of room makeovers and updates to his home. It's been over a year and a half since we've seen one of his awesome creations but I'm happy to announce the streak is over! Welcome to Frank's family theater room reveal! When Frank and Lauren, my sister-in-law, moved into their home, they had an unfinished basement. Frank had big plans for this space and has done an amazing job with the makeover. You remember the basement bar right? Modern and classy. This was one end of the basement, there's a whole family room in the middle and on the other end is a set of white double doors. Open them to find this - the family theater room: A large, plush sectional hangs in the back, complete with large pillows to support you when sitting up or laying down watching your favorite flick. A large fabric ottoman is in center to rest your feet or for more room for guests. This distressed tray is a great spot to place drinks or snacks! Movies are projected from the overhead projector (complete with a ceiling outlet) onto this HUGE screen! It's 110” diagonal and has a reverse picture frame boxing (or sunken picture frame). ...

To learn more about my affiliates, please review my disclosure policy here. This post is WAY overdue! Three years ago today, I shared part I of our garage makeover, where we turned our dark and dingy unfinished garage into a clean and modern space. Since today is Father's Day, I thought it would be fitting to share this updated, functional and organized space Derek has worked so hard on! Find all the product resources for items shown at the end of the post! Ok onto the tour! First off I must point out that yes, we can fit our car in here, but it's pretty tight. It was therefore important that we make the most of any space, even the skinny space along the walls. Starting on the wall to the left you'll find our expandable power cord which allows Derek to connect the wet vac, power washer, hedge trimmer or other electrical device for all his outside landscaping needs. It swivels out when needed but lays flat when it's not. Next, wall hooks hold both our ladders along this wall which are within easy access to pull down when needed. Along the ... Continue Reading...
Garage Cabinet Makeover with Deco Art
DISCLOSURE: I am part of the DecoArt Blogger Program and was provided product samples. I only promote and share products I personally use and recommend! To learn more, please review my disclosure policy here. Derek’s been working on a big project the last few years: making over and organizing our garage! I’ve already shared part I in which we turned our dingy, cold and dirty garage into a bright, clean space when he added sheetrock and painted the floor. Since then he’s been putting together organization systems and shelves to make it a more functional space. I hope to share the completed garage makeover this spring once the overflow of the winter storage and our car is no longer in there. Here's a sneak peek on the theme that's currently going on in there: Everything in the garage is black and grey metal. Everything except this one cabinet we had. It was a matching piece to our kitchen that was mounted in our garage when we first moved in. It’s great for extra storage but didn’t match the current design. (You can see it hung up in the original Part 1 before/after image above.) In comes Deco Art Chalky Finish Paint. You’ve already seen me show off my Entry Way Mirror and DIY Tray using this ...
