Dreamy Deck Makeover – Living Wall DIY

Take a glance at Libbie’s Airbnb deck. She renovated this space using an eye-catching living wall as the anchor and paired it with a set of outdoor wicker furniture to create an ideal spot for her guests to unwind and enjoy the fresh air.

Basement Makeover on a Budget

An inviting refuge that blends a moody vibe with a manly edge? Yes, please!

This renovation is what decor dreams are made of! Libbie’s new basement features different decor ideas that work beautifully together.

The makeover made the before picture completely unrecognizable!

The DIY mid-century-inspired wood accent wall pairs perfectly with the exposed ceiling and neutral vinyl tile flooring.

Thanks to the throws, pillows, and rugs, texture and color add warmth and vibrancy and make this basement an irresistible spot!

Airbnb Kitchen Design Makeover

Here we have another jaw-dropping example of a perfect and budget-friendly kitchen renovation! Libbie leveled up her rental to a whole new level taking a dated kitchen to a more neutral, brighter, and chic one.

Modern hardware, painted cabinets, painted tiles, and one amazing concrete countertop dupe and.. voila! A total kitchen makeover for less than $500!

Living Room – Trendy Slatted Wall DIY

Renovating structures with a very distinct style can turn into a challenging project, like those niches from the 90s. In this slatted wall DIY makeover, a new slatted wall and a few small tweaks took this old-fashioned wall to a chic and trendy one. 

Libbie has a fabulously step-by-step DIY tutorial on it. Check it out HERE.

Unique Bedroom Makeover

This is the ultimate dream for a beginner DIYer who’s itching to get started renovating their homes with their own hands! This bedroom makeover is proof small touches go a long way when it comes to renovating and decorating spaces.

The accent wall steals the show at first, but all the details add to the overall composition. 

The headboard and closet doors were upgraded to add decorative appeal. Libbie has a fantastic DIY where she shows us how to create those closet doors trimmed out in molding.
