Trending Post: 7 Mid-Century Modern Kitchens That Inspired My Own
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a furniture makeover on the blog, even though redoing furniture is one of my favorite things. We’ve been so busy building our house for the last year that I’ve barely posted about anything else or done any projects just because I enjoy them. So this table…I actually finished…
*Thank you to Cutting Edge Stencils for sponsoring this post.* Things have been so busy with the new house that I haven’t done any fun craft projects lately. And even though making super quick and stressful decisions about $10,000 expenses is crazy fun, I kinda miss the quick and easy projects that provide instant gratification. I’ve…
Are any of y’all familiar with a little magazine called Country Living? Yeah, I thought so…in this crowd that’s like asking a toddler if he’s heard of something called “blocks”. So a few months ago I received an e-mail from Country Living asking if I’d be interested in working with them and Minwax on a…
My friend Abby has lived in a tiny old farmhouse for a while, and recently her and her husband renovated and expanded it to be their forever home. Their new house is fantastic…it’s roomy and open without being huge. Plus it’s on 13 acres…so it’s basically my dream house. I should really do a house tour…
If you love stencils, then I have some great news. Every Friday for the next month I’ll have a have a new stencil project and tutorial for y’all…and three of them include giveaways. Who doesn’t love free stuff? So today is the first tutorial – how to stencil curtains. Supplies needed – How to Stencil…
I’m back with a bathroom update! I didn’t forget about it; I’ve been slowly working on it this whole time. Last time I updated y’all on the bathroom it was APRIL (holy cow) and I showed you the finished dresser turned vanity. Well, here is what it looks like today! Yup, I stenciled it. We…
Bone inlayed furniture is really popular right now…not with people like us, cause we’re cheap, but with people that have money to throw around. The first dresser (the little black one) has a price tag of….hold onto your britches….$2,999! Holy cajoles…most of the cars we’ve owned have cost less than that. Do people really pay that much for furniture? I’m sure some…
Let’s talk stenciling. Now, I’ve done my fair share of stenciling, but it’s always been with a homemade stencil and it takes F.O.R.E.V.E.R. to do. Plus the final product always looks kinda wonky when you get up close and the design is very simple. Also it takes forever….that’s worth mentioning twice. So when Cutting Edge Stencils sent…
(To see the completed pantry – organization and all – click here.) . I’m moving right along on my Less Mess resolution. I tackled my junk drawers last month and have moved onto the pantry. As a reminder (and because I just love posting pics of my horrible looking spaces) here is the before shot of…
For a very long time now we have needed a toy box. Our current “tiny toy basket” just wasn’t working for us anymore. I could show you a picture of it all stuffed neatly in there, but lets face it … 90% of the time, this is what our toy situation looks like. The first step to building…
Last month marked 12 years since I started this blog. 12 years! Freaking crazy. I wrote my first post on February 13, 2011 without any intention of it becoming a thing. I would have laughed in your face if you told me that 12 years later I would still be plugging away at it and…

Alright, time for another follow-up post! Today we are talking about the DIY epoxy floor coating Adam and I did in the garage a little over a year ago. We used the RockSolid kit from RustOleum. and applying it was simple but fairly labor intensive. CLICK HERE TO READ THE ORIGINAL POST AND TUTORIAL Before – After…
Y’all. The brick paver floor is finished and it turned out AMAZING. It is exactly what I wanted, which is impressive considering my list demands was pretty specific. I’ve seen plenty of brick floors that aren’t my favorite, so I was only interested in installing a brick paver floor if three things were involved….lots of earthy…
Rustoleum generously donated the products used in this post. All opinions (good and bad) are 100% my own. I know everyone is in holiday mode right now, but I’m here today to give you some (much needed?) relief from everything Christmas. Not that Christmas isn’t amazing and all…but so an epoxy floor coating, right? I…
So this morning I woke up at 6 am, made breakfast, made lunches, got the kids ready for school, finished that last little bit of homework, found everyone’s shoes, and made it out the door in time to meet the bus. The boys and I waited for about 20 minutes (while getting attacked by mosquitos)…
House 1: Tour + Sources On this page, you will find all the information about my first home. Before and after photos, links to all the DIY projects and products used. This home was three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1650 square feet. It was purchased in 2008 for $133,500, and as you can see, it…
Alright y’all, here comes one heck of a post. I’ve been chipping away at it for months…it’s pretty much my masterpiece. Enjoy. 2016 was a great year. Adam and I worked on building our house, moved into it, sold our old house for more than we thought we would, had a baby, and  generally lots…
Well, December is here and Christmas prep is in full swing…sorta. As usual I’m a little behind, but this year I am totally okay with that. I have my tree up (but not decorated) and I may go crazy on the mantel…I’ve never had a fireplace or a mantel before this year and it’s begging for…
So today let’s talk about the boy’s room. The room is 12 x 15 and will be shared by my older two boys. If you regularly read the blog than you’ve seen pictures of it while under construction…but here they are again (mostly to remind me that we’ve already come a long way and…

.Happy New Year everyone! 2016, isn’t that crazy? It’s like we’re living in the future or something. When someone talks about an event that happened in the 90’s I’m like “okay, so like 10 years ago.” But no…I’m about a decade off. I swear it feels like yesterday that I was rocking my slap brackets,…
I have a confession to make. I haven’t started decorating for Christmas yet. I haven’t even thought about getting the boxes out of storage. We haven’t been listing to Christmas music. I haven’t baked a single thing. Gifts? What gifts? Now I’ve always been strictly in the “no Christmas before Thanksgiving” camp, and this year…
A few weeks ago I was working on my linen closet makeover and taking pictures of the finished product. I was perched on the vanity counter, pressed up again the mirror, when I looked around and realized that I had never posted a reveal of my master bathroom remodel. You know, that I started in…
Three years ago I stenciled a dining room table for my in-laws using the Indian Inlay kit from Cutting Edge Stencils. It turned out gorgeous, but admittedly took me forever to do since the stencils comes in a bunch or small pieces (which also makes it super versatile). I remember a few of you asking if…
Lately I’ve been spending time mindlessly scrolling through Pinterest and Houzz (what else can you really do when breastfeeding at 3 a.m.?), gathering ideas for something to hang above the bed in our master bedroom. There are lots of great options out there, so I thought I’d put together a post showcasing a few of…
A few months ago I received an e-mail from a woman name Kiri who had recently launched her own company. It’s called i like that lamp, and she sells lampshade kits where you order the exact size you need and use your own fabric to customize it. I thought it was a great idea for a…
Okay, sorry for the awkward long break…lots of things going on here at Casa Domestic Imperfection! Exciting news…we are we are almost finished finalizing plans for the new house and will be breaking ground much sooner than we thought. Yay! (and holy stressful!). I can’t wait to talk about all of it, but first let…
Many of you know that I’m part of the Better Homes and Gardens Live Better Network, and every other month I am challenged to use BHG products in a different way. Well this last month has been pretty busy for us, and the last thing on my mind was blog deadlines. So a few weeks…
Before I dive into all the DIY goodness I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and support on my last post about Adam’s accident. He is doing well, a little better every day. He is up and around the house now, and even getting out a bit. We don’t do much…mostly…
