A Nesting Habit

Sarah first met her future husband the same weekend he happened to be closing on a house. Little did she know that nine months later, she’d be moving in as a newlywed. It was a bachelor pad through and through, but with lots of paint of ingenuity, she’s transformed it from mancave to lovenest.

First things first, let’s put the fridge in its rightful place, amiright? Then her husband turned the half-wall into a functional bar area by beefing it up with a reclaimed wood top.

From there it was just a matter of brightening up everything else with paint, including the counters which were painted to look like cement, and the faux stone backsplash!

Fantastic job. I just love big transformations on small budgets. Always inspiring.

    I’m so honored that you featured my kitchen! Thank you!

    Since I sent you the pictures I’ve moved my blog from blogger to wordpress, my new URL for the kitchen post is http://sarahesh.com/2014/07/diy-the-kitchen-project/. Would you mind changing the link to refer people to that site instead? Thank you!

    Right on! I am a small wallet vs. big impact DIY’er and this one gets a big THUMBS UP! Anyone can shop (although I do know it can be long and hard to decor/ design even with the biggest budgets), elbow grease goes a long way in the street credit dept. with me too 🙂
