The Most BRILLIANT & Cheap DIY Wainscoting

June 8, 2017 · In: Architecture, Design, DIY


IKEA_panelhorna_inspiration_3.jpg

Do you ever see a DIY and wonder why on earth you didn’t think of that yourself?  Dang it.  That was my exact thought when I realized that IKEA had just blown my mind with their CHEAP DIY wainscoting.
Ideas like this make ya want to kiss IKEA right on the mouth.  As far as I’m concerned this idea is a home run!

So, what’s got me so excited?  Did you notice what they did?  They mounted inexpensive closet doors to the wall.  I know!  Why didn’t I think of that?  You are thinking it, too, aren’t you?

I can’t.  I can’t talk.  I’m too excited.  Scroll down.  You have to see all the photos so you see how brilliant this is…



AMAZING, right?  This is proof that you don’t need a million bucks to add character to your house.  Are you imagining where you could use this idea in your house? …

Excuse the long awkward pause… I was imagining adding this cheap DIY wainscoting to my bedroom wall… then my wall in the living room under the stairs.  I’m definitely going to need a saw for that.  I actually don’t have a lot of walls in my house due to the open concept and massive amounts of windows.  But what about you?

Do you love this idea?  Where could you use it in your house? I should have brought my closet doors home from Denmark!

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!

Comment SHOP to get the links & more styling hacks!! 

Guys! I’m so pumped! I love creating a living space meant to dine in and that’s what we’ve created here! It’s luxe, warm, inviting, smells incredible and gives a sense that you want to linger forever!

Oh, and did I mention that it’s loaded with budget friendly finds & styling hacks? We’ve used everything from dinnerware from Amazon to glassware from IKEA to little marble bowls loaded with little nuts & treats from @hmhome !! 

The baskets, hurricanes, and bowls overflowing with wood and pine cones definitely give a nod to the fall season as do the warm brown velvet curtains (another Amazon find!) 

The only question we have to answer is- what’s for dinner?!
