Meet Stacy!

November 28, 2018

Hello! I am so excited to be visiting over here on Corey’s blog. Isn’t she the best? Not only is she insanely talented, but she is the NICEST person too. Always smiling and cheerful. I feel lucky that I have had the chance to hang out with her in real life several times.

My name is Stacy Risenmay and I have been blogging about 8 years. I share everything from simple DIY projects to full blown room makeovers. I love designing and getting my hands dirty. I am a mom to four boys and some of my favorite projects are things I built for them or that they have helped me do. I hope they grow up to be DIYers too.

Earlier this year I made over both kid bedrooms. Two boys in each room. The most recent one was this mountain themed room for my two nature loving boys. The room is long and narrow which made the layout a bit tricky. I ended up building an L shaped bed. Even though they have a good sized closet, you can never have enough storage, so I raised the bed to create a fort and additional storage below.

 

My other two boys are both passionate about music and wanted a more modern vibe. I built them new beds as well. One with storage for my teen and a clubhouse type fort for my younger son. The room is complete with leather tab curtains and a faux brick wall to hang their guitars.

My son helped make this fun side table out of old metal card catalog drawers.

 

One of my favorite things about our 1938 home is that is has a lot of big windows. I love light! Our family room is no exception. It’s sunny and is the perfect place to curl up and read a book. From the reclaimed wood shelves for all our books, to the gallery wall with photos from trips we have taken, and the card catalog side table, it is filled with DIY projects.

Oh, and the terrarium lamp is a DIY too!

 

This spring we added a paver patio to the back of our house. I wish we would have done it sooner! It has made such a big difference in not only the look of the house but how we use our backyard. We also recently got a new roof which re really needed. The before photos prove how bad it was!

 

Here we had this beautiful patio that was smack dab in front of all our electrical boxes. I needed to come up with a way to hide them but also make it easy to access them when necessary.  I created this sliding wall with planter boxes. It works great and was pretty easy to do!

 

I love nature and being outdoors just as much as I love designing and decorating. When I was asked to write a book, I combined both those passions. My book is all about decorating with elements from nature. I have 35 DIY tutorials as well as styling tips and plant care.

 

When I don’t have a large room makeover in the works, I love creating smaller projects. This vase is one of three based on the idea of reusing a glass light shade. I had three “base” ideas. One hangs, one is geometric, and then this one has gold legs and decided to make all three!

 

As a self proclaimed plant lady, I love collecting plants and building planters for them. This slatted one has a modern feel and was super easy to make! I have made a hanging beaded planter, a set of three hexagon planters, and even one that was made from a tree trunk.

 

Thanks for letting me share a bit of what I do over on my blog. I would love for you to stop by and have a look around!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

I leaned in heavily to the dark moody feel for the guest bedroom makeover and I love it! The dark sienna  hue, coupled with my @kilzbrand #accentwallchallenge is absolutely stunning. (If I do say so myself.)
I have a room tour, wall tutorial and source links on the site today. #linkinprofile #sponsored #everyprojectisworthit
@Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge @Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge, and you know how much I love a good challenge!
If I am being completely honest, I feel like I rocked this challenge. It is absolutely insane how a single wall can change the entire feel of a room. 

On the site I have a full tutorial on how you too can create this look and all the fun details about my choice of color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & the KILZ 3® Premium Primer

Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects before entertaining guests? As I was preparing the guest room for the Holidays I had an epiphany. I had a vision of what this room could be, and I just cannot let it go - this room needs an accent wall!

I am teaming up with the great folks over at @kilzbrand to create the perfect accent wall, with a gorgeous color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & KILZ 3® Premium Primer. Stay tuned because this accent wall is going to be gorgeous. I just need to pick my accent color. What do you guys think, clay or sage?  #sponsored #kilz #GuestRoomMakeover #AccentWallChallenge #EveryProjectIsWorthIt
