Today’s Feature Friday is a young mom and blogger, Melissa, who blogs at The Happier Homemaker. She is mom to three little boys and manages to create a beautiful home on a budget. She’s done a lot of DIY projects herself and shares them at her blog. She lives in a cute house and she’s done a wonderful job of decorating it for her family.
Look at that cute house with the dog out front! Love the color she chose, along with the red door.
Inside the family room is cozy with lots of cushy seating for TV watching.
Melissa made over an old buffet for her media stand and it looks great. I love how repurposing these old pieces work for media stands now.
Sitting room is picture perfect for lounging.
She DIY some beadboard and hooks, along with a bench and baskets for her mudroom. I’m sure that comes in handy with 3 little boys.
Her kitchen island opens up to the family room is is very spacious.
They opted for dark toned cabinets with white subway tile and it looks beautiful.
A pretty trellis stencil on the headboard wall of the master bedroom is a nice focal point.
Melissa is a DIYer too when it comes to furniture makeovers. I love a good Before and After like this thriftstore chair!
She’s carved out an office space from a spare bedroom and painted that desk too, as well as DIY’d the curtains.
A pretty outdoor entertaining space is festive at night.
And she’s got some ideas for a DIY patio makeover on her blog too.
I hope you enjoyed this tour of Melissa’s house and please stop over and say hello to The Happier Homemaker. Happy Friday!
What a beautiful home that Melissa has created for her family…love her makeover projects!..and gorgeous wall treatment!…Another wonderful Friday Feature Rhoda….have a great day!
Thank you so much for featuring our home Rhoda!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
She has done a wonderful job. The house is beautiful and the back yard is great.
What a beautiful home!
Many awesome make-overs. What an awesome vintage chair transformation! Thanks Rhoda.
I have been following Melissa’s blog for quite a while, and it amazes me what she gets accomplished with 3 little ones! Not only does she have some amazing projects, she churns out some great recipes, too. So glad you featured her today. Enjoy your weekend, Rhoda! 🙂
Such a pretty home!!
Pretty little house. I know these ladies are trying, but we’re not seeing anything new here..lots of copy-cat stuff…hope you can soon say, “Now, here’s something completely different”..we don’t learn by seeing the same stuff over and over again; kinda boring. I’d rather see a tutorial by your Dad on, say, the proper care of tools or the proper uses of tools, stuff like that. you don’t have to post this but I felt compelled to send he message..
Just lovely- the chair makeover is incredible! I love to see what creativity and paint can do 🙂
Simple, uncluttered and serene. Very nice. The eye can find a place to rest in decor like this — which is important and I think is missing in a lot of what is featured here — and it allows each item to stand out.
Good for you! Lots of personal, comfortable and attractive additions for sure.
Melissa is so sweet and has such a lovely, livable home! So happy to see her shared over here!
🙂 Linda
So pretty!
