go-to color of the week : This blue sliding door console that Ana White shared on Facebook. Find the original building plans here.

go-to use of paint: You know that we love paint as a quick and inexpensive pick-me-up — see what a difference paint made to Kara’s garage entry area! She shared with us over on Facebook. (If you’d like to share, message us there on Facebook or drop us a line here.)

go-to laundry room: this striking storage-packed room (via) is so well fitted. The recessed slide-away doors cover the washer and dryer when not in use, and there’s plenty of storage between the machines and in the cabinet above. Pin it here.

go-to before and after: This memorable bathroom renovation at Jenna Sue Designs was done in just 6 weeks as part of the One Room Challenge, and wowza! You’d never guess it was the same room! Pin this here.

go-to built-in: This recessed built-in hutch is so classic but space-smart, too! Find it over at BHG, and pin it here.

go-to use of string lights: Yes, I know it’s Christmas time and the lights “should” be on a tree somewhere… but let’s think long-term and hang them from the ceiling! These bistro lights look memorable in this living room/loft area, via Design Sponge.

And last but not least — from the party — go-to furniture makeover: Mindi from Mylove2create did an memorable job on her shared teen boys’ room makeover, and she turned a basic chest of drawers into a taller unit with plenty of storage for both boys.
