Last year, True Value invited us to be on their national "DIY Blog Squad" and we were beyond shocked and pumped. I don't know how they found us, but boy were we glad they did! With their help we were able to get a new mailbox...
fix up an old bathroom door...
And we even figured out how to tile a wall in our (half-done!) guest bathroom...
(Note: Click on the photos above if you'd like to read about those projects!)
Well, they've invited us to be a part of the Blog Squad again this year, and you can bet yer bottom dollar we'll be focusing on our master bedroom this time around!
We'll definitely be loading up on lots of this stuff...
We're leaning towards a pretty shade of blue, and a mellow shade of white for the walls.
Here's my inspiration...
And if you follow us on Twitter, you've already seen the sweet little $40 dresser we're going to make over...
Luckily, because the lady who owns our local True Value loves ALL things home, they carry a huge selection of decorative knobs and pulls...
We can't wait to finally be able to open those drawers without having to use MacGyver maneuvers!
We also look forward to seeing the projects our fellow Blog Squad members work on too...
Katie from All Bower Power
Josh from Bungalow 23
Kate from Centsational Girl
Gabrielle from Design Mom
Kit from DIY Diva
Joey & Lana from Joey and Lana Make a House a Home
Roeshel from The DIY Show Off
Brian & Paul from The Handyguys Podcast
Sarah from Thrifty Decor Chick

I would love love love to learn how to make over an old dresser. The end result will be fantastic, I'm sure! Your blog has inspired me to learn to see the potential in things and make them my own. :)
ReplyDeleteDo most true value stores have that many beautiful knobs to choose from? Love them!
One of the reasons I like them is because they are locally owned! Ours is small, convenient and helpful! Congrats--Can't wait to see the bedroom!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your true value invitation!!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely inspired by that photo you posted.
I'm starting painting my bedroom this weekend - maybe I'll post some pictures of what my room looks like (inspired by the same types of photos)
Excited to see how the dresser turns out! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the shabby dresser in this post Layla. It is just my style. Maybe you should ship it to me instead :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the Blog Squad challenge my friends!! In my book you are winners hands down. Love the picture wall. Are any of those fabulous photos available for sale. I already have one Layla wall and I have another wall just screaming at me!!! I almost have to wear ear muffs!! LOL But...seriously...I am always wishing you both the best. You deserve all the recognition and more. You and Kevin are fabulous at what you do. Can't wait to see the final results of all your ideas!! :)
