Do It Yourself

Posted by Faye |

Watching HGTV everyday inspired us to do the interior ourselves :) We hired one painter to teach us how to paint since we don't have any experience at all. I collected different photos online and we chose the look that we like for our home. An Asian inspired home!:) We keep our old couches and some old stuff. Most of our accent displays and other stuff came from HomeGoods!:)
Anyway, here are some photos of our formal dining room :) It was a DIY job :) I painted the whole room and did the interior :) At first, I'm not sure about the red walls and when were buying the paint, I was about to change my mind hahaha pickle minded! I'm glad we stick with it and it turned out nice :)

Before
Our first home =)
Need another coating.

After, this room catches our visitors attention =)
dinning

My husband suggested to have a personal touch, my photos printed and put it in a frame. It was taken from different beaches in the Philippines :) It is a very special photos because we spent a long weekend there :)
formal Dinning
A bamboo blinds & shades will complete the look :) I'm still convincing my husband to buy that blinds but as expected he said no, hahaha I understand ;) we don't have enough budget for the home improvement until next year :)
How do you like the look?:)

Wow! Great job!!! I always wanted to paint my own room but I fear of having it ruined instead of renovating it! Nice furniture as well!!!

I'm so excited to do the interior of our 3rd floor since that's me and my hubby will be staying together with my siblings.

My first agenda is to brighten up the bathroom since it's all white. Now I'm inspired to start the "1st project" :)

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully I will be able to share mine in the next couple of months.

We were supposed to repaint our interior this year but other urgent expenses came up. My hubby had this in mind about making our dining area red. Our room now is maroon and we love the color and its shades. Good job with the painting! :)

Faye said...

@MushaMommy Judy thanks!:)

JoyD said...

Great job Faye,,, watching Lifestyle shows are the best place to find inspirations and ideas and red color in the dining area is suitable in Feng shui...

kellie said...
