Guest Blogger: Tatertots & Jello

I'm having a blast at the Country Living Magazine Fair!  What a hot & windy day but so much fun!  If you're in Columbus - stop by the Gorilla Glue booth to meet Nadine and Holly from Gorilla Glue and me too! There are so many antiques and crafts that you'll need a wagon.  And good walking shoes.  And I haven't checked the weather yet for tomorrow but hopefully not an umbrella or raincoat.  

I'm sure you know her, but just in case...DIY Show Off reader, meet Jen from tatertots & jello. Not only is her blog full of DIY creativity, beautiful inspiration and great projects but she's a sweetheart too.  Happy Birthday Jennifer!  Thank you so much for guest blogging while I'm out of town and sharing your favorite projects!  I am in love with a laundry room!And the beachy bathroom is gorgeous too! 

 Hi -- I'm Jen from tatertots & jello and I'm so excited to be here at Roeshel's wonderful blog! I am a HUGE fan!!

I thought maybe I could share a few of my favorite DIY Projects with you today...

This summer I transformed my bathroom from kind of Tuscan:

 
to "Beachy" with Board & Batten: 
 It's amazing how much brighter and larger the room looks with the wall treatment and lighter color!

Another Project I just finished this week is my Laundryroom Redo! 
Yikes - it started off like this {very messy picture}

And I installed the same type of Board & Batten treatment as I did in the Bathroom redo. I used a wonderful stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils {a DIY Club sponsor} to stencil between the panels. 
 
I really like the way the two elements came together in the room.

Another DIY element in the room were shelves that we made under the counter. I wanted a place to put laundry baskets for my four kids. Then when they have clean clothes I have a place to put their clothes. And they are able to check the baskets each day to see if there is anything they need to put away.
We also took out a closet and made that space into a nook for lockers.
 
Those are a couple of my most recent DIY projects! Thanks for letting me come over and say hi! I just love Roeshel and I think she is wonderful!!
