		<title>Transforming a kitchen with paint and light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before In 2008, I started my kitchen transformation. This is what the kitchen looked like when we bought the house in May 2007. The cabinets were original to the house and still in good condition, but they made the kitchen feel dark. The cream tile countertop had just been installed by the previous owner. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Kawasaki Bathroom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, we have absolutely no affiliation whatsoever with Kawasaki, but our friends affectionately refer to this room as The Kawasaki Bathroom. Secondly, I can&#8217;t take any decorating credit for this room. Chris did it all by himself. It&#8217;s definitely a man&#8217;s bathroom. When we bought our house in 2006, Chris&#8217;s only request was that we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fire pit before and after</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My firepit sat out all winter uncovered and looked like a pile of junk this spring. I took pity on it with two colors of high-heat spray paint: black and copper. After several coats, the result is a new two-tone fire pit! Of course, after I finished and the paint had dried, I read the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whimsical Sea Star Painting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t profess to be an artist, but I really like to paint. My grandma loved painting. She got into it late in life, took art classes, and copied famous paintings. She worked with oils. They&#8217;re too intimidating for me, so I like to work with water-based craft paint and inexpensive canvases. That way, when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shoe Revival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This doesn&#8217;t quite fit within the realm of &#8220;decorating,&#8221; but since wardrobe decorates me rather than my house, I&#8217;m including it. My favorite, favorite pair of round-toed brown Steve Madden heels (with pink stitching &#8211; sigh!) finally got to the point where wearing them in public was akin to wearing ripped sweatpants, so I stashed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amusing typeface decor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look what spectacular thing I found on design*sponge! It&#8217;s a poster reading &#8220;I promise I will never use Hobo, Comic Sans, or Papyrus ever again.&#8221; Here are little gems from etsy, magnets saying &#8220;Friends don&#8217;t let friends use Comic Sans.&#8221; This crafter channeled her anger against Papyrus into some seriously amusing buttons. I&#8217;m so glad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mosaic tile votive holders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Glass votive holders are a common favor at weddings, and I often have mismatched ones around the house, sporting ribbon in someone else&#8217;s wedding colors. They look great in the scheme of a table setting but not so much in my living room. After taking off the ribbon and stickers (and in one case getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick paper-wrapped votive holder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often receive votive holders as wedding favors, but they sometimes have stickers bearing the bride and groom&#8217;s names, or ribbon in the wedding colors that in no way matches my decor. I gave the one pictured below, which was from my cousin&#8217;s wedding, a quick makeover by wrapping it in textured brown wrapping paper [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recycled damask cabinet inserts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My favorite piece of furniture is my black and white toile footstool (below) that my sister gave me for Christmas the year I bought my house. I wanted to repeat this pattern on TV cabinet inserts to create a consistent look in my living room. I was in luck one day when I went shopping [...]]]></description>
