DIY Decor Ideas: Easier Than You Think

If you are the creative type, like me, you sometimes want to create your own piece of furniture instead of buying one. Nice quality furniture can get pricy and usually you feel obligated to keep it for a long time because you invested so much into it. Well not every piece has to be like that, you can mix old and new, inexpensive and expensive and even store bought and DIY furniture. I have built a few piece over the years for my own home and have started to incorporate piece I make into a few on my client's homes. Some are simple, just a little sanding and some paint, others take a little more planning. If you have never challenged yourself to make a piece of furniture you should try, you will be surprised at what you can do. Take a look at some of these examples and enjoy!



Is your bed all lonely with no headboard? Well for about $100 you can make a custom one! Easy to do any doesn't take up too much time!


 One of my favorites, the penny floor. Now this is time consuming but it is a less expensive option t a traditional tile floor. I am still collecting pennies for our bathroom!

 
Palettes have become a popular item for many home decor ideas. some make headboards, a wood wall, table or how about a shelf!


I recently stumbled on these planters made form concrete pavers....OMG it is going on the list of projects for the house. Don't worry, as each of our rooms are completed I will share them with you! :)

Last but not least, these are the tables we made over the weekend for a project. Made fromindustrial pipe from Home Depot and some wood we stained in a walnut finish. We are pretty pleased with the way these turned out! Maybe we will have to make more!
