DIY Wall Monogram and a Bathroom Update

Kathy from Wheatfield Wonderlings is sharing two DIY projects with us today! A beautiful bathroom update. LOVE the colors, decorating accents and that vessel sink! Here is her post:

Bathroom Update

After living in our home for 3 years, we finally got to updating the bathroom
Here it is before and after
The shower curtain is from here
Top 500 SAT Words Shower Curtain

It makes great educational bathroom reading!


Vanity before we painted it with 3 coats of black paint
Here it is after

We learned how to cut and edge granite!



Ebayed vessel sink and facuet

We still have to replace the light switch cover with a white one, otherwise it is done!
Love it!

And a large "W" for her living room wall. I love personalized wall art and I'm jealous of their awesome jigsaw skills! Here is her post:


I needed something on the wall in the living room.
So I found a font that was swirly enough.

Printed it out on a transparency, put it on the overhead projector


Projected in on a piece on MDF. (My newest favorite medium)


Cut it out with a jigsaw and sanded it.


Painted it with a textured Stone paint


My husband & son nailed it to the wall.
While making it and attaching it to the wall, the big fear was breaking it. Fortunately, that did not happen, thank goodness.
Just what the wall needed!

I love both projects, Kathy! Fantastic job! Thank you for sharing!
