OUR CONTENT HOME

As some of you may remember, last year's Christmas decor-spectacular was brought to you by the lovely Monica Mangin of East Coast Creative and Lowe's. We were the recipients of a Holiday Makeover, and Monica and her team came to Content. in October (just days after Halloween) and decked our halls with a ton of Christmas cheer. You can check out Monica's recap of the Makeover here .

Taking a look back, and realize I never gave you a full look at the before and after of our Master Bathroom. So, here is the entire run down including all the before and after shots, which I know you all enjoy so much! And, UPDATE: You can now see this before + after featured on Apartment Therapy!

  Maybe you've seen a similar cart for sale or already own one? It is an audio visual cart typically found in classrooms, used as a projector stand. See the plug on the top right corner shelf? I love these carts! I love how utilitarian they are, and the clear resin wheels. I also love that they are fairly easy to come across (for cheap) and have about a zillion practical uses. Sadly, I can not remember where I found this particular cart (I have the worst memory). "John, where'd I get this cart!?" Over the past few months, I've seen them everywhere! Most recently, on friends front porches holding houseplants (Hi Andrea & Veronica!) and just this past weekend at a garage sale covered with tools. My cart was in rough shape though, and can be seen in some of our past kitchen renovation pictures, collecting dust, awaiting its time to shine.  And now, that time has come. I usually hold out for second hand pieces that are in pretty go...

Happy Spring everyone! I want to share a fun, DIY project that we did for the master bedroom; our industrial inspired curtain rods. I've seen a few different versions on Pinterest, but wanted to put our own spin on this trend. Not only can you tackle this project in one-day, you can do it without breaking the bank! DIY Industrial Curtain Rods Time: 1.5 hours of prep, 30 minutes for install Cost: $30 per curtain rod, with (2) mounts Skill Level: Basic tools, comfortable on a ladder The need for this project became pretty apparent when I started shopping for a curtain rod that would span our four, street facing windows. Holy hat! Extra long curtain rods are expensive! And since we moved in this past weekend (YAHH!), we had to figure out a quick solution. I reasoned with spending a little more on the curtains themselves because they had to be lined (not too sheer or see through) and 84" long, but I couldn't wrap my head around spending hundreds on hardware....
