If you love DIYing, decorating, and constantly changing up your home’s décor all while taking on a million projects at once, you probably feel like your home is a disaster all the time. I feel like I strive to make a beautiful home but it seems to just create chaos in all the areas around it. Will I always have to live in this chaos? What’s the point of striving for a simple, beautiful home that works for us if my project room always looks like it was hit by a hurricane?
Then came along a $5 fake laminate ugly cart at a thrift store. Right now it still looks like my fake ugly laminate cart (shocking, I know!). It’s also a life saver. Yup, it’s an old TV stand life saver.
Except now, I call it my project cart. It’s where I can pile everything that I am working on, using, waiting to use, could possibly use in a project I’m working on, etc. on this cart. It’s not every styling or DIY tool I have. It’s just things I am using in a current project or will be using soon. (except paint – I try to keep that in the basement).
The best part? It has wheels. So I can ROLL my mess out of my room (and yes, consequently into another one, but one with a closed door that this family of 2 in a 3 bedroom almost never use) and my Mego Cave is delightfully clean. Here it is with the cart.
Now here it is with the cart rolled out of sight.
It’s the 5 second cleanup on wheels.
So this ugly cart is my new best friend. Although, in very unlike me/DIY style, it hasn’t been prettied up yup. Sorry cart, one day you will be pretty but right now you are just so practical and always piled high with stuff I can barely see you.
The best part is that I see these carts in every thrift store I ever go to. They are on their way out of peoples’ home and are cheap to find. What are you waiting for!? Go grab your organizational cart on wheels! Do you have any organizational tips that keep you sane and your house clean?

Great idea. Not only is it on wheels, but I like how you’ve decided to contain your project materials to a certain space, just on the cart, so you don’t get “project creep.” That’s when your projects start to creep over onto the coffee table, the couch, and any other horizontal surface.ReplyCancel
Project creep…so right! I have to be really careful about that! I try and make sure that everything is back on that cart at the end of the day.ReplyCancel
One of the things I most love about our living room is our fireplace. We have an electric fireplace in there now that makes it unbelievably warm and cozy in our house. I also love that it creates such a focal wall and adds architectural detail. However, I wouldn’t say I am the best at decorating it. I’ve basically just thrown a few things up there without much thought. So I thought I would do a little case study (via Google Images) on how different people have decorated mantel and see what works.
Tall Flowers: I love how the flowers bring height and life to the mantel. I definitely think height is important to a mantel. Too many small items can just look cluttered and without purpose. I think it was smart that a smaller scale yet interesting mirror was put above the mantel. It doesn’t compete with the flowers but complements them.
A TV: Sometimes the only place for a TV is above the fireplace. It doesn’t mean that it has to ruin the decor of the mantel. This person just framed out the TV and then put a few charming items beneath it. However, the plants still provide the height (like above) but the birds, books, and art (love that framed key) bring home-y touches. It also helps take some of the focus off the black TV.
Leaning Layers: Most of the time you can one picture or mirror hanging above a fireplace. I like how this person decide to layer and lean multiple sizes of artwork against the wall. The color scheme is done so nicely here too with the main black and white items with just a few tasteful pops of red. Notice that both sides also have some height to them with the lantern and candlesticks.
Books: I’ve thought about books on a mantel but was never sure if it would work. However, I love how they are all layered below. They look so bright and casual below but also seem to be “right” there – with a purpose. The decorative birds and other accessories also break up the books and add some interest and a little bit of height to the look. See how greenery pops up again here?
Chalkboard Art: I love the idea of chalkboard art above a mantel. The message can continually change based on the season or events going on in your life. Once again, see how there are green elements below, along with layer of objects and greenery.
Gallery Wall: Instead of just having one picture or mirror above the fireplace, put a gallery wall! This just seems to draw the eye up and make the fireplace look really majestic. Don’t neglect the mantel. It still needs to have some height and color added to it.
A Collection: Have a favorite collection? Showcase it on the mantel! These different candlesticks look beautiful and effervescence all layered on the mantel. It helps that they all are glass or glimmer. I also love how they have the three mirrors layered behind them.
Paula – I am SO glad I am not alone (although I’ve seen some pretty great mantles in your house). Everyone else seems to just have these beautiful mantles that seem so effortless. I’m trying to glean their knowledge on this art! Glad it was helpful for you too!ReplyCancel
I’m green with envy when it comes to mantels. Missing the fireplace and mantel in our old house,bb-before blog 😉
Actually been thinking how can I add one here in our new house…just for the mantel to decorate and hang the Christmas stockings, of course.
Hmm?! Now you really have me thinking
Love all the style ideasReplyCancel
Oh you should definitely add one! I know that you can buy them and just mount them against the wall without a fireplace. I’ve seen it before and they look great! I think it would really go well with the style in your house too. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!ReplyCancel
One of the things that I love about our neighborhood is that it is an older, more established neighborhood with beautiful trees. There are huge, tall trees everywhere around us, creating a nice, homey feel. There definitely can be a downside with trees too – they die and fall and can be a threat to your home (or your neighbors’ home). In order to ensure the safety of our home we decided to take down two rotting trees and limb up a couple more that had limbs overhanging the house and road.
On the plus side, this means that there are less leaves to rake up! Hurray!
So about six months ago we started contacting tree removal companies. I recommend talking with your neighbors to see who they have used. Chances are, most of your neighbors have had to deal with tree removal if you have a lot of trees in your neighborhood. We got a few names and a few quotes and picked our final contender.
Lesson #1: It pays back into your pocket to shop around. Our quotes were all over the place, some double what others were going to charge us. Pick the one with the price tag and reliability you are comfortable with.
Lesson #2: Make sure they are licensed, bonded, and insured. Taking down trees is tricky and somewhat risky. You do not want any liability on your property.
After we picked our contractor, ohhh about 6 months ago, the onslaught of endless rain began. Due to our trees being in the back yard and heavy machinery having to trek across it, the ground needed to be dry. So basically that didn’t happen for months.
I think he kind of forgot about us.
Lesson #3: Be persistent. Contractors are busy. I like to stay on their radar and check in with them every few weeks. It’s a thin line to tread of being persistent and not annoying. You want a good relationship but you do want them to come.
Finally, FINALLY, after months of patient waiting and time for the ground to dry, our contractor was available.
Lesson #4: Make sure to mark your septic tank if trucks could be remotely near them. When I was growing up we once had an incident with this and heavy machinery running over our septic tank. Now I am paranoid on marking it when any vehicle comes near it.
Lesson #5: Ruts happen. Just see it as a chance to reseed your lawn and just make it greener and fuller for next year. 🙂
Now, you can sit back and let them do the work. Unfortunately this was an all-day affair and I had to go to work, so no in-process pictures. Although I did day dream a lot about the tree work in my head all day (sorry boss).
I then came home to this glorious sight! No more holly bushes on the lawn and nice trimmed trees in the front.
The back is really where you could see the difference. Two trees gone and one limbed up! That is a huge difference there. Not only is our house safer, but we are definitely hoping that there will be less leaves to rake (please, please, please).
Here’s a before and after:
Anyone else have some lessons learned while contracting out big jobs like tree removal or the like?

I know you are so happy to finally get this tree work done. Having experience major damage from trees, I’ll tell you that you were super smart to get suspicious ones taken out.
I am SO happy to get rid of those trees Paula! It’s a relief! We used Bryant’s Tree Service and they were great.
I’m SO sorry to hear about all that damage you had after the derecho. Wow, your house really took a beating. 🙁 It looks like you were able to get the damage repaired quickly which is a relief. What a bummer.ReplyCancel
UGH, those dreaded trees! This post speaks volumes to me, because we are one of those families that moved into an older home with mature trees near it. Now, considering that 1) this was my first single family home and 2) we bought during the WINTER when there WERE no leaves, I was clueless. Now, every spring and summer, the trees block the happy sunshine from our home, sadly enough, and in the fall, dump massive amounts of leaves. And I’m not talking PRETTY yellow and red ones that make it feel fun. I’m talking brown ones with those little seed thingys that not even the leaf blower can blow! I’m contemplating getting them cut down. Plus, the fear of what Paula went through (OMG, Paula….). I don’t know if you mentioned how much you paid for your tree service? They’ve quoted me about $800 per tree removed. Sound similar?
Hey Serena! I’m sorry to hear that your trees are causing so many problems. They definitely offer so much beauty but so much work. We always joke that they always dump something from their limbs every season, whether it’s pollen, acorns, or leaves. Would there be a way to just limb up the trees to add more sunshine to your house, less leaves, and at a lesser cost? Plus, people love to buy houses with mature trees – just not scary trees. We got a great price at $900 for cutting down 2 and limbinng 3. Although on the high end someone else gave us an estimate of $1700 (ouch). So really check references and talk to people in your neighborhood to see who they trust. Keep me posted about your progress with the trees. Good luck!ReplyCancel
Today I am so excited to share with you my first collaborative brand post. At the Haven Conference I met so many great potential sponsors, including Homeright, who specializes in all your DIY needs. We caught up with each other after the conference, and they were generous enough to send me a paint sprayer to try out on a project. They were also generous to offer one for you too! Keep reading!
To inaugurate my paint sprayer, I decided to paint a rug. Yup a rug! After doing some research, I decided to smash Addicted 2 Decorating and Almost 40 Year Old Intern tutorials into my own. Here’s how it went down.
Base color paint (I used Olympic White in Exterior) – You don’t need this if you like the base color of the rug
Accent color paint (I used Valspar Duramax color matched with Pantone’s Sangria)
Tape (the cheap duct tape)
Drop cloth
Exacto Knife
Measuring Tape/Yard Stick
Calculator/Simple Math Skills
The Process
First you need to get your rug the base color you would like. If you like brown (or your rug’s color) skip this step. Brown wasn’t in my color scheme so I opted to paint my rug a nice bright white.
However, it does take time to get a brown rug white. Thank goodness for the paint sprayer! I sprayed the rug 4-5 times (sort of slow to get maximum coverage but quick enough not to get splotches). I found that using the cone sprayer option got me the best coverage. I just started on one end and worked my way down. Then I would wait long enough for it to dry so I could walk on it again and spray another coat.
Originally I thought I was going to have to elevate the rug clothesline style to be able to spray paint it. I had this whole elaborate scheme worked up (including buying rope and copious amounts of clothes pins) of stringing the rug up with drop clothes plastered everywhere around it. However, time and hassle was saved when I realized I could hold the sprayer at a 45 degree angle and still get a great stream of paint. Phew, cause that was just going to be crazy.
After the base coat dries (I recommend at least over night) it’s time to pick a pattern and get taping. Here is where you need to learn from me. Save some money and time by buying the cheap duct tape. Nope, don’t even buy the brand name stuff and for heaven’s sake don’t buy the $10 really nice painters tape. Want to know why? Because I did. I spent $10 and 3-4 hours taping down a pattern that didn’t stick. Temper tantrums might have been thrown. But after a staring contest in the tape aisle for about 15 minutes, I came home with the winner – cheap duct tape. So start with that – please!
You want to pick a pattern that you can tape out. Whether it’s stripes or something more elaborate, it’s best done with tape. I decided to go in between stripes and elaborate, using Almost 40 Year Old Intern’s pattern as my guide.
Now you have to break out the calculator and grease your math skills. It’s time to measure that rug and decide your pattern widths. First, decide how far in you want your pattern to start (aka how big a border you want). Then, use that width and length to make your calculations. First I made vertical stripes, measuring one larger stripe and then one smaller stripe.
Then, I made horizontal stripes, once again having one larger and one smaller.
Once you have all your stripes taped down, then take an exacto knife and start cutting out your pattern. You can see I cut out the stripes so I just have a lot of boxes. Once the boxes were cut off I used smaller pieces of tape to connect them. Bad Megan, but I just eyeballed the middle to connect them. It seemed to work out fine. Be warned on this step though cause it takes a lot of time. Like two movies or four 45 minute TV shows worth of time. That really helps make this tedious task better.
As a final effort to keep that tape down I used my dough roller to roll over the tape one last time to really help it stick.
Next, I did a white coat over the tape as extra insurance of getting clean lines. You have to get your hands dirty a little bit on the first coat since the sprayer’s power sometimes lifted the tape a little bit, but once that coat dries it all sticks pretty well. You also learn the “sweet spray spot” where you get good coverage but the force behind the sprayer isn’t lifting up the tape.
Finally, after the last white coat had dried, I was able to put on my pop of color – Sangria by Pantone (color matched in Valspar’s Duramax)! This is really when the happy dances started to happen (since this project had been going on for hours upon hours upon days). The color was gorgeous and it was going on perfectly. I ended up doing three coats of this for truly saturated color.
After the last coat dried, it was do or die have another tantrum time. Up came the tape…and out came a perfectly perfect, beautiful patterned rug!
Run a victory dance around your house and then fall to the ground in exhaustion cause this took some time. But man was it worth it.
As extra security I used Valspar’s clear gloss protective spray over the rug.
I am SO THRILLED with the results I want to make up a song about it and then film a music video of me dancing on the rug. Instead I will just pet the rug, gaze at the rug, lie on the rug, and hug the rug. I think all the time (and a few tears and a $10 roll of waste tape later) that I put into this rug makes me love it even more. It’s something I completely transformed from an average brown rug to a beautiful, geometric beauty!
Now here it is in its permanent home in the sun room. It really adds the crowning glory to the room!
Here’s how the cost breakdown went:
Paint Sprayer – a gift from HomeRight
Rug – $18.98 for a 6’ x 8’ rug (that’s a DEAL)
Paint – $50 for two gallons (but if you like the base color of the rug it would just be $25)
Tape – $3.50 for each roll of duct tape and $10 for a lost roll of Painter’s tape
Clear Gloss – $4
Exacto knife – already owned
Drop cloth – already owned
Total: $92
Would be $82 if I hadn’t bought that extra tape.
Could be $57 if you like the base color of the rug.
So it’s not the cheapest project in the world but it’s a pretty great price for a 6’ x 8’ rug! The pride in actually painting a rug and getting to customize it any way you want…well forgive the cheesiness, but that’s priceless.
Now, here’s the really fun part for YOU! You can win your own paint sprayer to paint anything your heart desires.
Haha Kim! That’s awesome! Let him do the dirty work and then you could paint the pretty things! It definitely would make painting a fence SO much easier!ReplyCancel
Haha Darla! It’s not that bad, I promise. There is definitely some eyeballing going on in my design. But you can’t tell, right? Get it busy enough and some imperfections can be hidden. 🙂ReplyCancel
Oh my gosh I love, love, love how your rug turned out! What an awesome way to customize a plain rug. You really rocked it with the HomeRight sprayer! I want one now!
Cheers to you and dancing on the cool rug of yours!ReplyCancel
Thanks so much Therese! The sprayer really saved the day or it would have been too time intensive. Dance parties really are mandatory on the rug. 🙂ReplyCancel

We are dreaming of spraying our kitchen cabinets … last time it was all by hand and we know it can go so much faster / more evenly!! Your sunroom is totally baller. So impressed by how you use color!!! It came together beautifully.ReplyCancel
This would be great for kitchen cabinets! So much easier (but a little harder on the prep work) but I think it would make that project so much quicker. But wait, are you saying you are painting them again? Yowsers! I’m impressed your would go back for round two! Thanks for all the sweet comments about the sun room. 🙂 There was a moment where I thought the color might be going a little crazy and then it all came together.ReplyCancel

What a great tranformation! I’m sure if I learn to do a lot of furniture refinishing, that spray gun would be on my list of purchases needed. Let me throw a word of caution in here…never spray paint outdoors when it is the least bit windy..as the wind will take the paint maybe to items or places you don’t want it to be..like somebody’s car that may be parked nearby or somebody’s house..Make sure there is no wind whatsoever blowing when you spray outdoors..spraying outdoors on a windy day could end up costing you big time if the paint ends up mysteriously in the wrong places.ReplyCancel
Thank you Betty! The spray gun is SO helpful in many projects. I highly recommend one. Good words of wisdom about spray painting. You are definitely right! I’m never allowed to spray anywhere near a car!ReplyCancel
Great job! Looks just like mine!!! Folks message me all the time asking about painting a base color first so good to know you did it successfully! XoReplyCancel

Megan, this is one of the best-looking painted rugs I’ve seen. How is it holding up? I’m thinking about trying it on a rug that would be used indoors, but with two dogs and a cat I know it will be getting vacuumed A LOT. Does the paint chip off at all?ReplyCancel
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much! It has held up great! No paint chipping or anything. It vacuums up great!
The only word of caution I have is that the paint will compress under items. For items that stay in one place, this isn’t a big deal (it happens with all rugs). However, when I move my dining chairs the impressions of the feet stay in place. Walking doesn’t cause impressions – just heavier items cause this.ReplyCancel

This may have already been asked…..is the paint you used, a certain type paint? I hate to sound ignorant, because I just re-read the items needed, just want to make sure….we’ve been needing a rug, and I either find one I like the pattern, but not the colors, or vice versa…or it isn’t available in the size I need. Thank you for this!!!ReplyCancel
I used outdoor latex paint because it was going to be in a sun room and I thought it would make it more durable. You can probably use regular latex paint if it is going to be inside only. Hope your rug painting goes well!ReplyCancel
Hey Bobbie! Thank you so much! I actually have no idea. I painted an indoor/outdoor rug with outdoor paint. I’m not sure if you can use paint to make an indoor rug outdoor. The materials might still break down in the elements. It would be a little risky I think.ReplyCancel
Over the past couple of months I have been all about the sun room. It has been thrifty project after thrifty project – most of them involving paint in order to transform them from ho-hum to spectacular (like the emerald and gold table, spray painted vinyl cushions, painted fabric cushion, or navy door to name a few). Today is no different. I decided the wall behind the refinished love seat needed to be painted.
I was on and off again on painting the vinyl. I was nervous because basically it was painting an exterior wall of our house. This would make the wall not match the other vinyl walls of the house. I feared of something way in the future – what if it didn’t match the other vinyl walls if we took down the sun room one day?! Then, after some stain splashes and dirty spots really started to drive me crazy, I decided to go for it. Be gone those fears that it won’t match the other sides of the house. It’s just paint! It can be fixed! Fear faced. It was time to paint this vinyl wall.
As I started thinking about the color I wanted to paint the wall, I knew I wanted to do something neutral since I had so many colors going on in the room. But neutral doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. So I decided to paint my wall not one but THREE colors. Yup, a gradient wall.
I decided on a trio of Olympic colors (from dark to light): Silver Dollar, Gray Ghost, and Willow Springs. They were a nice grey trio with a tint towards the brown family. I thought they would play nicely with the brown frame of the sun room. I ended up getting a quart of each in satin finish in Olympic’s exterior line. The line says right on the can that you can paint vinyl siding with it! That’s a win.
My first step, since the previous owners had already painted this wall once with oil paint (visit this post to find out how to test if paint is oil or latex), was to use an oil primer to ready the wall for latex paint. I used Zinsser’s oil based primer. Beware this stuff is STINKY. Make sure to use it in a well ventilated area. I even put a fan by the window blowing out to draw air through the room and out.
After one coat of primer as seen above (that is all I felt this room needed) I went ahead with my first coat of greys. Since I was concerned about running out of paint (which I didn’t need to be – I had TONS left over) I decided to brush it on. I thought the roller would soak up too much paint. I also wanted a nice thick coverage. I think this was a smart choice and ended up saving me time. I would have had to brush almost all of it anyways since all those slats have so many angles.
Here the wall is after the first coat. To decide the gradient I first counted all the vinyl slats. I had 12 (such a great even number divisible by 3!) so each color got 4 slats painted. I went from dark on the bottom to light on the top.
It definitely needed two coats. Actually, the middle color seemed a little too light for me, so I opted to put a third coat on it to try to make it have more contrast. Here it is with its second/third coats.
I love how it is subtle but still interesting and special. I also love all three of the colors on that strip. See – there is a way to make neutrals really fun and interesting! It also doesn’t compete with all the colors, patterns, and furniture I have in the room.
I looooove this look so much! I also love how the vinyl siding made it so easy to make this gradient – so measuring or taping needed. That’s a whole lotta love for one little wall.
Megan, it turned about so great! Perfect backdrop for all the gorgeous DIY going on in your sunroom! I love it.
Happy Monday!
Cheers to you and yoursReplyCancel

Great idea. Not only is it on wheels, but I like how you’ve decided to contain your project materials to a certain space, just on the cart, so you don’t get “project creep.” That’s when your projects start to creep over onto the coffee table, the couch, and any other horizontal surface.
Project creep…so right! I have to be really careful about that! I try and make sure that everything is back on that cart at the end of the day.
Awesome but simple idea. I’ve probably passed those things by so many times! But now…tell me more about that table!! me-ow!!
Thanks Catherine! What table do you mean? The door turned desk or the dining room with the chevron tablecloth?
