Home on a Budget: Linkup Features and FUN SPACES
It’s Friday! Every Friday here at Remodelaholic, we take a look at ways to make our homes more liveable and lovely without spending a bunch of money. I pick a new room every month, and share ideas I’ve found that provide inspiration and tutorials for fixing up that particular room. I focus on low-cost DIY projects and simple fixes. On the last Friday of each month, I host a linky party, where you can linkup any projects you’ve worked on in your house that go along with the room of the month. On the first Friday of the month, I feature projects from the linkup and introduce the new room and share some inspiration photos to get all of us excited to get to work on our own homes.
So, let’s get started!
Here are some of the projects from October’s Master Suite Linkup that caught my eye:
A bathroom rug made from towels at Home and Away with Lisa
Upholstered headboard at Soul Style
Master closet reveal from Batchelors Way
DIY bed at The Accent Piece
Master bath reveal by Soul Style
Thanks to everyone who added their master suite projects to the linkup! You’ve all been working hard, and I really appreciate your willingness to share your work. Great job, everyone!
November is going to be an exciting month here at Remodelaholic, because we’re going to focus on Spaces for Family Fun: playrooms, media rooms, game rooms, and bonus rooms.
And now for a look at some decorating/designing eye candy…
Lego playroom at Houzz
Loft area for kids over barn doors at Houzz
Bunk and game room from Momtastic
Whoa–crazy amazing playroom with a stage and media center at Houzz.
Bonus room with a basketball court and climbing wall from eHome Improvement
Home theater room at Houzz
Comfy media room from Houzz
Playroom with a balcony from Tumblr
Sunporch playscape from Cedar Works
Sun filled game room from Houzz
Do you have a space for family fun that you’d like to share with Remodelaholic readers? I’m on the lookout for them–especially if they include tutorials! Go HERE to find out how to submit your space.
Cassity Kmetzsch started Remodelaholic after graduating from Utah State University with a degree in Interior Design. Remodelaholic is the place to share her love for knocking out walls, and building everything back up again to not only add function but beauty to her home. Together with her husband Justin, they have remodeled 6 homes and are working on a seventh. She is a mother of four amazing girls. Making a house a home is her favorite hobby.
While I respect the spirit of this month’s feature, those of us that truly live on a budget do not have such spaces, but rather find ways to squeeze bonus space into any nook or cranny we can. For example, I live in a ranch house with an unfinished basement (not safe for use as a bonus room/playroom/media room, etc…) that has a traditional floor plan – no den, no playroom, no media room, no attic space to be finished, etc…. Would you accept traditional living/bedroom spaces that have been tweaked to accommodate the ‘extras’? I appreciate your reply.
Christine, Absolutely! In my last house we had a family room/living room and a closet off of it that I turned into a playhouse, I wish we could have a play room, but it is just not always available! But any special spaces, or room features or ideas that work for you in your home are worth linking up! Please be sure to stop by!
Wow, 2 features – thanks so much Cassity! xoT.
Tracy, you are welcome!
Love these ideas!! Wish I had the space, house and money to do them!! I can wish though!!
Great features! Thank you so much for sharing! Have a great weekend.
