DIY Show Off reader, meet Mike and Katrina from At Home Alterations. Isn't that a great name for a DIY blog? You know what's better? Their actual DIY and at home alterations. You can see more (lots of DIY and before and after!) at their blog but here are a few of the projects they've mastered.
Costing just $634 and a lot of elbow grease, their kitchen went from this:
What they did:
- tore up the linoleum and refinished the hardwood floors
- painted the cabinets and replaced cabinet hardware
- installed a space saving pot rack
- painted the walls
- DIY art
Then, as if that wasn't exhausting enough (they've only been in their home since the beginning of the year!), they did a guest bedroom makeover. Here it is before:
Don't rub your eyes. You're seeing the same room - here it is now:
- Sanded and re-stained and sealed the floor
- Sanded the stars on the walls and repainted
- Furnished/Decorated - using furniture they mostly already had and great bargain shopping
- DIY art
Mike and Katrina also entered their "Easter Bunny bathroom" into True Value's Design SOS contest. You can vote and view all entries at http://www.startrightstarthere.com/. Mike and Katrina's entry is #10!

I was one of the bloggers selected by True Value to work on the DIY Squad. I have been compensated for my time commitment to the program as well as my writing about my experience. I have also been compensated for the materials needed for my DIY project. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.
