Guest Bedroom Dresser Makeover by The Wood Grain Cottage

Guest Bedroom Dresser Makeover

July 12, 2017

There's nothing quite like having overnight guests coming to give you that needed push to get your guest room in shape... that's right, my cousins came to stay with us for a night, and it completely motivated me to get the guest room to a state where it could actually function as a guest room! (Hand clap!) I know I've been slow to share any progress on the room, but that's about to change! Let's talk about how I gave our old guest bedroom dresser a makeover! Do you remember when I shared the moodboard for the room? Well, included in that, I knew I wanted to use the existing dresser we had in the space, but just give it an updated look by painting it black, and then updating ...

Fold Up Side Table Makeover by The Wood Grain Cottage

Fold Up Side Table Makeover

September 1, 2016

Painting furniture is easily one of the best ways to get major bang for your buck. Not only can you completely transform a piece of furniture, but it also does the budget good. Furniture that was once ugly, dated and neglected can quickly transform into the belle of the ball... That's the power of paint, and it's been no secret here on the blog that I love to repurpose old furniture, and give a good makeover. Today's project specializes on just that... the power of paint! Do you remember my friend Chelsea and her fall dining room that I just shared last week? Swoon, right? Well, she'd been looking for the perfect little side table for her living room, and I happened to stumble ...

Bedroom Night Stand Makeover

August 10, 2015

Before I gave this bedroom night stand a makeover, it was dark, dated and a little depressed. See how the power of paint and a little bit of hard work transformed this beautiful night stand! I'm slowly working on our master bedroom. It's always been the room that "collects" things. If I don't know where to put something, it usually ends up in our bedroom. But, times, they are a changing, and I have big plans for our bedroom. For one, it would be nice to actually feel relaxed in there. Instead, I always catch myself looking around at all the things laying around. It's definitely not the prettiest room in the house, that is a fact. And two, we had a little mishap in our master ...

Instagram post 17877687346486071 We are loving the evening glow from our Christmas tree! Today on the blog, I’m sharing all the details on our tree and the different steps and layers I used to create it. It’s such a beautiful addition to our living room. 🎄

Instagram post 17855703316617271 Happy Saturday! We’re installing more interior doors and trim today! What a big difference it makes! This fixer upper of ours has been making some big progress lately. 😍 
Throwback to my last house... but our new doors will look similar to these!

Instagram post 17856780565609483 Our new flocked Christmas tree arrived and I spent the afternoon setting it up and fluffing the branches. It’s such a tedious job, especially on a new tree, but it’s worth it! 
I’ve been trying to decide how I wanted to decorate this year, and while I was “fluffing”, I think I finally decided. And now I’m excited. 😬🎄 This lovely picture is from my last house, all decorated for Christmas. 😍

Instagram post 17842824415781814 On the blog, I’m talking all about designing and purchasing our IKEA cabinets. We still have a little ways to go before we “officially” have the cabinets completely installed and finished... and then we have all the other things we need to add, like a custom vent hood, backsplash and open shelves, just to name a few, but if you’re wanting to use IKEA cabinets, today’s post will give you a good idea of what to expect!

Instagram post 17881252693452397 I’ve been updating the home tour of my old house on the blog, and I ran into this gem of a picture. This breakfast nook was such a beautiful space.

Instagram post 17859897157563074 I’ve been on the hunt for a new flocked Christmas tree since this beautiful tree is waay too tall for our 8’ ceilings... and I don’t want to look like Clark Griswold with my tree stuffed in the corner about to burst through the window. 💁🏼‍♀️ Sooo... I searched high and low to find the best flocked Christmas trees. There are some seriously beautiful trees... and after getting our tape measure out, we finally picked our new tree and it should be here this week! 🎄

If you’re looking for a new tree, be sure to head to the blog... I’ve organized them by size to make it easy! 👍🏻 #thewoodgraincottage #thewgc #christmasdecor #christmastree #flockedchristmastree #ontheblog
