So I wrote to them to tell them that I was fine to go ahead with the no photos thing, and maybe if we could just do a few sparse illustrations here and there as visual cues for flipping, that would be perfect.

Which are the ones that I enjoy the most?Honestly, they mostly all have to do with paint..

When I heard about the CIL Beauty on a Small Budget contest, I jumped at the chance to talk a little bit more about their paint with you because it’s just made such a difference to me in how I feel in my home on a daily basis.Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we?.I’ve been using CIL Premium paint since long before I first partnered up with them last fall for the Decor Experts on the Road tour.

I’ve always really appreciated the value of that particular product and the fact that it’s so easy to use and helps me get all of my rather dramatic painting jobs done really easily.. Our master bedroom was one of those rooms where a little paint really made a big, and dramatic, difference.. Here’s how it looked before painting:.and here’s the room after:.

Here we have Jack’s nursery before:.

Kennedy’s room was so so (so so so) dark:.This little DIY does the trick  just fine for now!.

It’s the perfect place to put our books, dishes, and other dining room miscellany and it looks good doin’ it!.If you attempt a tall shelf DIY like this one and you have kids around, don’t forget to bolt it to the wall!.

Have done anything fun and interesting to update the backs of your shelves?I’d love to hear about it!.
