This slat wall looks sooo much better! Head over to my stories to see where we started and why I took the original “slat wall” down.
I’m so glad I changed it! I knew it would bother me and even though we bit the cost and delayed the room from being finished I’m so happy with my decision!

Would you believe me if I told you I purchased this drawer unit at Ikea? (Swipe to see the original unit)
Who says we have to settle for the items we purchase at big box stores?!
I love switching things up to better fit my style which is why adding trim to these drawer faces was a must!
I share a step by step guide to achieve this Ikea hack on the blog paintingbythepenny.com

So what do you when the brass light you want is sold out and the other is out of your budget?
You find a dupe and even if it’s in a different color, you Rub n Buff it!! I can’t say enough about Rub n Buff! It’s so easy to apply and looks great!
I used the color Gold leaf and it looks soooo good in the guest room!

My goal for the guest room was to add a pop of color. Our main living area is white and beige, so a pop of color in this room was necessary.
I also added this gorgeous rug from @loloirugs. It adds great texture and richness with its earthy tones and colors!
I’m still in shock that I had this idea in my head for this room and we DIY’d it! It’s so cozy and functional!

This Murphy bed was a pain in the you know what to put together but IT 👏🏼 WAS 👏🏼WORTH 👏🏼IT!!
I love how quickly it goes from being an office to a cozy bedroom!
Now who wants to be our first guest?!! 😆

When I first described to Luis what I wanted the vision in this room to be he drew a sketch. I wanted a space that was functional. A space that served both of us and our guest.
Well, many many months later we DIY’d our way through this room and here it finally is!
A Murphy bed with a his and hers desk on either side 🙌🏼 and I couldn’t be more in love with it 😍!

It’s been a labor of love! Many months of working in this room between work and life itself but we’re almost at the finish line!!! 😊
I wanted to take a look back at the journey and how far we’ve come. I still can’t believe that we did this ourselves!
Learning as we go and even though it’s taken us why longer than I thought, I’m so grateful for all the things I’ve learned. To be able to finally sit on my desk, look around and say “damn we did this” 🥹
There’s no better feeling knowing that you did something you didn’t think you could do…And I think we did a pretty good job!

Slowly starting to organize the garage/workshop ☺️.
One thing I wanted was the space to be bright (I was over all the dark wood) so we painted it Pure White by Sherwin Williams.
I also wanted it organized and these @_husky_tools_ cabinets fit perfectly!
Now who wants to come over and organize all of my tools and tons of paint and stain cans I have in my basement? 😅

These garage floors!! 😍😍 They just make the space feel so much cleaner and prettier ☺️
Epoxy flooring for the win ✔️🙌🏽
