Nesting Nest Nested ~ DIY Kitchen and Dining Room

Emily from


is doing a beautiful job - all DIY work and details at making her home just her style. It's beautiful and her DIY projects are amazing!

Here is her kitchen and dining area before:

And here is what she's done! Wow!


  • Painted, glazed and added crown moulding to the upper cabinets.
  • Raised the cabinet above the microwave.
  • Tiled the backsplash.
  • Switched out florescent lighting with can lights.
  • Framed the window. 
  • New cabinet hardware.
  • Added beaded glass to three cabinet doors.
  • Made a plate rack!






She's still deciding on the countertops and color for the bottom cabinets. I love that she's considering something different than the glazed creamy on top.  

Her dining room is just as beautiful now with $80 dining room table and chairs getting a new look, textured wallpaper with chair rail and a beautiful new chandelier - DIY painted, of course.  I also loved her framed plate wall art.








I love what you've done so far, Emily and I look forward to seeing more!  Thank you so much for showing off!
