As I’ve started to decorate the house more I realize decor is EXPENSIVE! Here are some prime finds that I’m eying!!!

#LTKsalealert #LTKhome

In January somebody tried to break into my house. Shortly after I armed myself with a SimpliSafe system. It was the best money ever spent and the best part about it is I could install the entire system myself! Amazon is having a 40% off sale during their prime days on all of their systems so if you don’t have a system and you’ve been thinking about it this is your chance!

My absolute go to when it comes to refinishing any of my furniture! This is strictly for painting it not styling or making it super ridiculously pretty! And the sprayer is ON SALE!

#LTKhome #LTKsalealert

i wish i could literally find EVERYTHING in this house to link, but i found what i could and as much similar items as possible. i might not have a beach house (yet) but man - when i do, credit card beware!

Decor is expensive! So I’m most likely shopping some of these items at target

#LTKhome #LTKSeasonal #LTKsalealert

i kept it simple for my bathing suits - i mixed and matched 3 different bottoms to 2 different tops! unfortunately the green leafy guy isn’t available so i found two others that were similar. i threw on the USA shorts and at night wore my USA sweater. and the few nights i went out i threw on the cute dress from Old Navy - everything packed great into the little tote from Target and I was good to go!

oh and those those - AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE!!!

All things plants! Everything I used from the pots, to the holders to some of the plants in the pots!!! Have fun styling!!!!

stairway to heaven

in my house this might be true because my green thumb is anything but green… my mom on the other hand knows how to keep plants alive and even has some orchids reblooming! 🤯

scroll 👉👉👉 to see the original. this plant stand was my grandmother’s and had seen better days. i peeled off the veneer, sanded down the ugly plywood, relaminated with wood glue the pieces coming off, stained it red oak by @minwaxusa and sealed with an oil based polyurethane also by @minwaxusa.

as for the base, i spray painted it with @rustoleum outdoor rust protection black paint in satin and followed up with a clear coat in matte to help protect it from the elements as it lives it’s life outside on a covered porch in WV.

it went beyond my expectations and i’m tempted to pack it up with me when i head home!

tell me what you think? was it worth the effort?! to me that answer is clear 😍🤩

Some of the decor (and while from ikea where you can find similar items!)

this view

if i turn around, the view isn’t quite this good so we’ll just focus on this for now.

the rug still needs to flatten, there are still tools laying around and don’t look too hard at that closet door to realize the hardware isn’t put back quite yet! but i’m getting there!!!

but the bed, the shelf above it, the decor - oh my! it just feels exactly how i wanted it to feel - calm, serene and peaceful.

@ikeausa decor for the win here! check out my @shop.ltk (link in bio) to see where everything is from!

definitely excited to wake up right here tomorrow AM!

an oasis

it’s finally coming together! these soft new bedsheets have ben washed and look so inviting!!! it’s been a while since i was looking forward to curling up in bed and sleeping in - thank goodness it’s also friday!!!

the last piece that i’m missing is a piece of artwork for above the bed - i have a few options that i’ll be sharing next week - i’ll need your help on picking something that fits the space.

any thoughts or suggestions? and what do you think of the bedroom makeover so far?

bling bling!

i’ve had this jewelry case for years - i want to say i got it off of amazon as my jewelry collection grew - but overall it never fit my style. the wood was too dark, too shiny, too basic.

so some primer, chalk paint and a little bit of TLC, i’ve made this fit my style without question!

now - do you think i have to much jewelry considering i wear the same necklace and earrings… every. single. day….

silver or black

these lamps were one of the simplest makeovers i’ve done but have such a huge impact! subtle, but huge!

i simply did these just like i’ve done my plate covers in the room…

1 - clean throughly (#diytip lemon oil takes off sticky!)
2 - prime (again - self etching spray paint is amazing!!)
3 - spray paint in any color you want!
4 - seal with again - spray paint!!!

so simple, so timeless, and so subtle!

i decided to change these lamp shades for something clean and crisp and they came out exactly as i envisioned.

and - the best part?! if i get sick of the black, i can always repaint them back to silver! the beauty of spray paint!!!

what do you think? too subtle or just the right amount of clean and crisp?!

open and shut

one more thing finished with the bedroom! hinges have been added to all the freshly painted doors!

the best part about DIY, you can take your time. these doors needed a lot of TLC - some caulk, wood filler, paint and new hinges since the others had been painted over, and over and over...

i took the beautiful glass knobs off and gave the plates a makeover with good ole #rustoleumspraypaint - my go to soft iron

and my $0.39 plate covers - well i definitely upgraded them as well!

what do you think? it’s coming together slowly but surely and it’s everything i could imagine!

brighter and better

lights can make or break a room. which is why i put recessed lights into the living room...

but there’s still something amazing about the ambiance that a table lamp brings. so i knew i wanted to give these ugly things a full makeover!

washed, primed, joint compounded, wet sanded, painted and sealed with colored wax - and a new lamp shade from @homedepot and voila! an elegance that this light lost was brought back with gusto!!!

what do you think? is this something you’d be willing to tackle or would you just go buy some new lights?!

used @rustoleum primer and chalk paint, @dixiebellepaint black wax, @zibrapainting brushes and @homedepot lampshades 🤩

A facelift for the doors! Super easy with some spray paint, trim and paint!!! Easy peasy and done in a weekend!!!

Paint is Behr Silver Marlin
Hardware just spray painted with Rustoleum primer and Flat Iron

And the trim?! Yard sticks and paint stirrers!!!

Check out my Instagram @vanessateter for the complete tutorial!

#StayHomeWithLTK #LTKhome #LTKfit

Nothing some yard sticks and paint stirrers can’t create but some door accents to some boring and drab interior doors.

Materials I used are below!
