I’ve been patiently waiting for a nice second-hand wood dresser to appear on fb marketplace or at Goodwill for months. Finally, I grabbed this one yesterday for $50.
Tumblr media
My inspiration for this project are some dressers I saw at Anthropology that have gorgeous carved details. But I want my dresser to cost $200 or less rather than $2,000.

Of course I can’t add actual hand-carved wood, but I’ve got clay and some silicon molds + epoxy and a potential overconfidence in my DIY abilities.
First up, I removed the existing hardware and sanded this pretty lady down. She is now looking MUCH better without all those terrible stains (and the drawer pulls weren’t doing it for her, tbh).

Up next, I’ll give her a paint wash or three and start trying my hand at faking some carvings!

After two years in this house we're finally doing the DIY project I've wanted to do since before we closed.
The kitchen in Rhombus house was last updated in exactly 1990. It features knobless honey oak cabinets, a Styrofoam tile drop ceiling, florescent lights, a sad and cracked yellow and beige vinyl floor, and, my personal top pet peeve, a badly chipped warm beige laminate countertop.
But new countertops are VERY expensive and we spent all our money on insulation and windows with fancy features like being able to close all the way.
But the countertops are so sad and chipped and pathetic that it's kind of like...we can't really make them worse, you know? And there's a freedom in that.
So, last year, we got a fancy white concrete skimcoat mix, and bits of colored recycled glass to add some shimmer. It was incredibly cheap. Like $100. Now we have finally secured childcare and means of keeping cats out of the kitchen.
I wouldn't do a poured concrete countertop because my sister had one in her house and after a decade it warped so badly you could get your whole hand under the hump.
But we're gonna try this skimcoat, then sand it, then seal it.
Because, again, we can't really make the countertops any worse.
Plus, I got a bigass white enamel farmhouse sink for free on craigslist we can put in.
Will report back.

Made this selenite dagger / athame. Selenite is a great protective stone for (among other things) energetic cord cutting
I think it turned out really good! 😊

While waiting for paint to dry in the other bathroom renovation upstairs, I started wallpapering the bathroom downstairs. It is cute as hell, if I do say so myself.

There isn't a lot of painted wall in the basement; one wall is pine paneling and a couple are stone. However, the painted parts along the stairs were finished in 2008, so that paint is looking a little ragged. Plenty of small-kid handprints throughout the years, a crayon here and there, plus general grime. Time for new paint.

God bless masking tape.

So clean and new-looking! Hopefully the man will also add in that missing piece of baseboard molding under the window. That fake stained glass, by the way, was a very worthwhile project. It's a type of paint that comes in squeeze bottles. While it took a while, particularly the stiff, gloopy black part that makes the lines, the results are pretty good and it hasn't 'aged' or gotten marred in any way since we installed it.

Foto dump of a recent project!
I was on the look for a hexagonal present box for a birthday present (Because Hexagons are the best shape ofc), but I couldn’t find one.
So I decided to make one myself!
And I am lowkey really proud of how it turned out 🥰

I used scrap cardboard I had lying around to cut out the parts, gummed paper tape to glue it all together (which was SO much fun I loved that part!) and then covered the inside and outside with normal craft paper.
This was honestly so therapeutic I love projects like this.
