TV Credenza Makeover

July 6, 2015 by Megan 5 Comments

This post brought to you by Faultless/Bon Ami Company   . The content and opinions expressed below are that of Balancing Home. I hate ironing, therefore I love starch. Anything to get the job done quicker and keep it crisper longer. Starch isn't just for ironing! I used starch to hang some gold polka-dot burlap fabric along the back of our TV credenza. That, along with a little spray paint for the handles, really dressed up our free/hand-me-down TV credenza. We took out the shelf ...

That Giant Space Above the TV

February 27, 2015 by Megan 2 Comments

I'm kind of an obsessive re-arranger. It is one of those things I do. I've been that way as long as I can remember. Me and my bestie would rearrange our rooms and make plans to decorate it on a shoestring budget monthly. Oh, and I was 11. So it comes as no surprise that the living room just got rearranged again. Love this gallery wall surrounding the TV. With a few tweaks, the gallery wall stayed, but the TV left. I picked up this giant frame at Goodwill. I popped out the ...

Boy Room Updates & Locker

February 20, 2015 by Megan Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gladiator® GarageWorks for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. It is no secret that we are big Badger fans around here. Both my husband and I met at Wisconsin (check out our first "date" here) and graduated from there. My sports-obsessed Badger fan HAD to have this locker from, Gladiator® GarageWorks in his room. It is pretty sweet. It has a shelf, and hook inside. Quinn's room was ground-zero of my "get rid of all the ...

Goodwill Nightstands

October 29, 2014 by Megan 5 Comments

This summer I ran into Goodwill hoping to find a little treasure. I spotted what appeared to be the two sides to a vanity. I immediately thought--nightstands! For $9.99 you cannot go wrong with solid wood. This is the only before picture I have. I snapped it in Goodwill to send to the hubs for his opinion. They cleaned up nicely! A good scrub, a rub down with some tinted furniture polish and some fresh hardware and we were in business. I adore the cute little wheeled furniture ...

Fun Living Room Update With Goodwill Desk

October 7, 2014 by Megan 8 Comments

Sometimes I get the urge to find a little treasure. I will swing by Goodwill once a month and just hope to find something that catches my eye. I'm a sucker for all things school. You can take the girl out of the classroom, but not the classroom out of the girl. Or something like that. Desks, globes, chalkboards, rulers, books-- I love them all. Last trip, I found this desk and snatched it up immediately. I didn't know what to do with it. For now it is an end table in the ...
