How to prevent paint bleed?

I painted the red accent wall in my office last night, I think it looks great against the gray and it's gonna look even better with a white bookshelf in front of it. I only had one problem.



I peeled some of the tape off this morning so I could get the full effect, and paint bled all under the tape! I'm so annoyed! I've never had this happen before and I'm wondering if it's because I used tape from the end of the roll? Anyone know how t » READ MORE

How to create a magnetic poster wall

One more DIY project under my belt: a magnetic poster wall for my office. I remember at some point taking "before" and "during" photos but I have no idea where they are, so you just get the "after."

This project was pretty time consuming, but easy overall. All you need is some magnetic paint. I used Rustoleum brand and I found it at Lowe's. This stuff is pretty expensive ($20 per quart) and is probably more suited to smaller areas » READ MORE

Pantry organization!

My brother gave me a $75 gift certificate to the Container Store for xmas. Here's what I bought! This totaled a bit more than $75 but I feel was really worth it. There are three sizes of container here, the two large 8x8x4 ones on the bottom, four 8x4x4 long ones stacked on top, and eight 4x4x4 smaller containers. So I actually have more room behind each of the small ones. I am amazed at how much room this gave me!

The $3 Table Project

Last October I went yard sale-ing and found a $3 table. The guy had a sign on it, "cute table for your LPs." I thought, okay yeah. It literally fell apart when he put it in my car. He gave me some wood glue and I gave him $3.

 

I picked up some sandpaper and primer from Lowes and took it home. I wanted to think about the paint color a little bit so I planned to get that the next day. I took it completely apart and sanded and primed it, » READ MORE
