Chalk Headboard. I say "almost free" because all you need is a can of chalkboard paint and some chalk and you can have any headboard you want at any time- all for the cost of chalk (once you paint your wall, that is)! I think you can get a quart of chalkboard paint (covers an 8x12' space) at Lowe's or Home Depot for under $15. I am NOT claiming this to be an original idea, I totally jacked it off of the cute little movie, 500 Days of Summer.
Wine Cork Backsplash. 16.
Karenheff's simply luxurious kitchen update. Perfectly classic and put together, the kitchen of Houzz user karenheff looks simple, but is outfitted to the nines. The white cabinets were painted in Benjamin Moore's White Dove and are offset with honed Absolute Black countertops and a white subway tile backsplash. The island is the exact opposite, with black cabinetry, and a Kashmir White granite counter. The warm wood floor is stained red oak, which warms up the subtle Benjamin Moore Gray Owl paint on the walls. The wine refrigerator next to the butler's pantry is from Sub-Zero, and is a luxurious addition to the already high-end appliance selection.
Cement Patio Planter. Finding space to install a garden in your modern city home is always a challenge.
You can either settle for a tiny windowsill herb garden…or you can get creative. This unexpected solution was created by Annette Guttierez and uses a type of building block that most of us would never think to bed plants in. This small wall garden was made using regular 12″ cinder blocks. To avoid creating mortar lines, the blocks are held together with Liquid Nails: a liquid adhesive that can be found at most hardware stores. In the blocks that stick out to showcase their plants, pieces of cinder block were cut to fit and then attached with Liquid Nails to create stable bottoms. This project is one that almost anyone could recreate at home.
Wall Treatment with Reclaimed Wood. In today's video I show you how to do your own Reclaimed Wood Wall.
This is a project I have been wanting to do for months and am so thrilled with the result. My husband and I were first inspired by The Antonio Treatment, an HGTV show starring a laid back kinda punk rock/metal dude who does everything green and features his dog Chewie a lot. We dig him. Antonio does BIG heavy hauls and revamps and shows glimpses into the projects, without doing big DIY tutorials. So I thought it'd be cool to take the reclaimed wall idea and break it down for you. This is definitely a two person job (at least in my case), so thanks to my rockstar husband Will for helping make it happen.

Previous image Next image I'd been scheming to create a reclaimed planked wall for several years, and finally got my chance when the talented couple behind Ashley & Robert's Streamlined Bohemian asked me to help them design their new Georgetown chocolate shop.
The goal for their shop, Fleurir Hand Grown Chocolates, was to create a vibe that was both clean and rustic. Robert's parents gave them leftover wood flooring— previously reclaimed from a Southern tobacco factory— and the rest of the pieces came from Community Forklift's mismatched flooring bins for twenty five cents a piece. In this space, I chose to use the wood wall as more of an art installation than an architectural feature. After helping "Team Fleurir" assemble their wall, I became a little jealous, and decided to do something similar in my own home.
Before we start, I want to mention that there is no one-way-fits-all set of instructions for this type of project. Easy Planked Walls for the Office-In-A-Closet. Blue Barn Door. I’ve been lusting over interior barn doors for ages.
Ever since I saw their rustic beauty, I knew I had to have one. When we moved into our new home and started living in a master suite with no door to the bathroom, I knew this door would be the perfect solution. After doing a little preliminary research, ordering the hardware would cost us upwards of $100, and waiting on shipping. Well, I’m cheap and impatient, so we came up with another solution. Want to see how to build your own barn door completely from scratch, all for $140, including the hardware? Step 1 – Design your door layout We chose beadboard paneling boards, which had tongue-and-groove edges. We chose a bold blue stain so the door would really pop.
