Upgrading a Corner in my Room With a Faux Built-In Fireplace

If you've been following for a while now, you might recall a fireplace makeover from my previous home. I loved that cozy corner of my room, so when I moved I took the electric fireplace with me. Obviously I couldn’t bring the built in DIY aspect from that makeover, so the bare fireplace has been sitting in the corner of my room for a while now. It’s finally time to make it look a little bit more intentional in that corner.

Now through that renovation, I learned a lot and I definitely have some home renovation regrets and makeover regrets.

Laundry Closet Makeover

My “laundry room” is actually just a double doored closet in my basement bathroom, that also stores my hot water heater, furnace, and a ton of exposed pipes. This is my main bathroom, and the closet doors are often open, especially when there is a load in the wash, so I’ve come to the unfortunate realization that it’s just not realistic to expect the door to be closed. So the time has come to make it look a bit prettier.

Making A Faux Conversation Pit in my Living Room

Welcome back to another blog post from our series That 70s House. When I first moved into this house, one of the first things I tackled was the dining nook. You might remember it – the striped couch I used actually went viral on TikTok, and had lots of people divided on if they liked it in the space or not. Later on, I decided to switch out the sofa to one that was better suited for the area BUT I definitely did not get rid of the striped one…that $50 marketplace steal from the '60s is too iconic to part with.

Completely Transforming an Elementary School Classroom

We recently just completed our biggest makeover challenge to date! We transformed an elementary school classroom from start to finish. A couple months ago, we put out a call for teachers across US and Canada, and got so many applications, it was hard to choose but we narrowed it down to one incredible teacher - Miss. Hardy in Kelowna, BC. She has a split class of kindergarten and grade one students.

Office Makeover: Transforming Our Boardroom Lounge

Welcome back to Loft Vibes!! Today we are tackling our board room / office living room. We love to film in this room due to its fantastic natural lighting. However, over time, we noticed several elements that were bothering us and just didn't reflect our DIY and design style. So, it was time for a change! Some of the major issues were the ceiling, which had been a prominent eyesore, the florescent lighting, and the colour scheme of a built in wall.

Making Over The Bathroom in our Office (for no money)

In this week’s makeover, we took on a LONG overdue room in our office space, the infamous (and scary) second bathroom. And yes, we actually have another bathroom that we share with the other tenants in the building, but it has remained untouched until now. We also thought it would be fun to add a little challenge by making it our mission to use only the supplies we already have in our storage room.

TRANSFORMING MY NEGLECTED DECK INTO THE PATIO OF MY DREAMS

When we moved into our home, we realised that our porch was in poor condition, but I really wanted to use it for the summer. That said, we weren't ready to undertake a complete reconstruction, so we decided to focus on improving the aesthetics for now. Our porch is long and narrow, which made the layout a bit of a challenge.

How to Organize Your Kitchen (REALISTICALLY)

I’m sure you have seen those Pinterest photos of of spice bottles perfectly lined up and labeled with stickers, and fridges organized into neat little plastic containers.
