The steps below follow the order of the work for this remodel inspiration by room project.
It’s Friday yet again and I feel like the summer is already passing me by! It’s finally HOT here, and I’m so thankful for our covered patio… and our stalwart AC system! Our Friday Favorites this week feature some really fun new tools and options — I’d love to hear about what you’ve been DIYing this summer!

go-to new tool: The Created Home has an solid new carving tool that helped her make these vivid corbels! (You could also likely adapt to use a jigsaw, like we used for the corbels we made here.)
go-to Disney: We are totally and completely Disney-obsessed, so of course, we need this doormat. Doesn’t everyone?! This option is also tempting… so maybe one for the front door and one for the back!
go-to straightforward before-and-after: Not all makeovers require demolition or even paint (although it does make a huge difference) — A Darling Design made her porch nice and cozy with some new pillows, rugs, and curtains.
go-to calm and comfortable room: From the wall treatment to the headboard and the pillows, this room looks ready to dive in with a good book or a Netflix binge! We found similar gold mermaid pillows here and here, for those of you who love those like I do. (Photo ©Bekob | Home built by Millhaven Homes, Design by Millhaven Interiors)

go-to why didn’t I think of that: I have seen these pretty Moroccan patterned tiles around and never once thought to combine them to make cute planters like Pillar Box Blue did! So low-cost, so straightforward. Adding these to my list…
go-to chalkboard: This chalkboard barn door on the pantry is so cute! We shared a building plan for a similar chalkboard door set here that would be easily adapted if you’d like to make your own. (Photo ©Bekob | Home built by Millhaven Homes, Design by @allisoncampbelldesign)

go-to new paint trick: I love playing with paint and Lantern Lane Designs put the paint to the test with her experiment for marbled vases to create a striking finished set!
go-to playhouse: This playhouse is off. the. hook. (Is that still a thing or am I dating myself? anyway…) I will always love our cottage bunk beds and this memorable indoor playhouse gets me so inspired to build another version! From the roofing to the mini dutch door (which you know we love) — I just can’t get enough! (Photo ©Bekob | Home built by McEwan Custom Homes, Interior Design by Alice Lane Home)
