Etsy Shop Announcement

 Hello everyone!  I know I haven't been very present here in the blog but rest assured I've been keeping very busy.  Last month I finally opened up my Etsy shop for Lillys Home Designs I even made my first sale which was very exiting!  



I have been wanting to do this for an awfully long time and I finally got the courage to just do it!  I was very nervous and excited at the same time, I still am.  I don't know exactly what I'm doing but I'm learning.  Just like I did with the blog and the furniture.  I didn't take any blogging or furniture painting classes I just learned as I went, through trials and errors, lots of errors but I'm still doing it and I'm glad I've stuck it out this far.  I'm very happy with this stage of my life and I'm looking forward to what's in store for the future.

I'm very fortunate to have the unconditional support of my husband who is very patient with me, he helps me a lot and pushes me to believe in myself.  The nights have been long while I tinker around with all the new things I'm learning and tweak around to fix things.  I've been so busy I actually started using the dishwasher for the first time in my life.  I don't know why I waited so long, that thing is a life saver.

I will continue to blog because I love sharing my home projects and furniture work here with you guys.  I would appreciate it if you took some time to follow me on social media where I share with more frequency and it's easier to keep in touch.


Now through 7.05.16 I'm running a 15% sale on all available items on my Etsy shop.


I would love it if you guys took some time to stop by my online shop.  Some of my pieces are located on the sidebar and my Shop tab below the header.  As always thank you for your continued support!

Kitchen Cabinet Makeover Reveal

Finally, I'm going to share the kitchen cabinet makeover reveal!  It took us a lot longer than we expected to get this done. But we are finally putting the paint brushes and the rollers down.  At least until we recoup from all the unplanned painting we did these past few weeks.  We didn't have a plan for this or a budget because it wasn't in the cards to do this project just yet.  I don't know if you recall from this  post but this all started because I wanted a cup of tea .  First I just wanted to do a quick reorganization, then I started  pulling off contact paper , next thing you know I'm removing doors and  stripping paint off the kitchen cabinets .  We didn't think things through we just went with it.  Before we had clumpy, flat painted ugly cabinets.  I'm not exaggerating, you can see for yourself here .  Whenever we would clean a them the paint would come off because they were not primed.  They were painted with a flat, cheap paint that would absorb s

Lining Shelves With Contact Paper

It all started when I wanted to drink a cup of tea!  Now what does drinking a cup of tea and lining shelves with contact paper have to do with each other, you ask!  Well the cabinet was overstuffed and when I reached out for the tea box, it and other miscellaneous stuff fell out of the cabinet.  I thought to myself, while the water for my tea simmers I can quickly empty out the cabinet and reorganize it, it's just a small cabinet it wont take more than 5 minutes, right?  Wrong, wrong, wrong! I emptied it out and the contact paper that was put there by one of the previous owners was hanging in the front and I decided it was time to pull it off!  Well, once I pulled it off I remembered why it was still there in the first place.  When we first moved in, I went to remove the contact paper from one of the other cabinets and there was another paper underneath it that was torn around the edges and I tried to remove it but that thing was super glued.  I decided it was a job f

Best Home office Simple Design Ideas Near Me

Our new house has a spare room that we use daily to enter the house and where we greet all of our visitors since it is our main entrance.  It quickly became a catch all room where we would just dump everything we didn't want to deal with at the moment.  That was a really big problem and it was stressing me out.  I wanted to turn it in to a home office space and create a  functional entryway.  I wanted it to be beautiful and reflect our style and I needed to spend as little as possible. After pic my desk area Planning my desk area I knew what I wanted to do, I was just so overwhelmed that I didn't know where to start.  So I made a list (I always make a list) and got to work. To make the entryway functional we needed to add hooks for jackets, handbags, etc, etc... and a bench to take off our shoes.  We already had a few pieces we planned to reuse in this space.  In our previous home we had purchased a shoe cabinet from Ikea that has served us well and was in perfe
