Show Off & Inspire – The DIY Showoff

Today I am super thrilled to be able to Show Off and Brag about Roeshel from the DIY Show Off.  Her home is as stunning as she is, so you are in for a real treat.  Roeshel is one of the nicest people in blogland, and I am so honored to have her here.  Beauty, Brains and Talent, that sums her up to a tee.

 Hi everyone! I’m Roeshel from DIY Show Off and what a joy to be here at Marty’s Show Off & Inspire this week! Woo hoo! It’s an honor to be here today!

At DIY Show Off, I share the budget friendly DIY transformation of our old fixer upper as well as encourage others to share (‘show off’) their hard work too.  I’m happy to take you on a mini tour of our home today. Gotta love visiting online…show up at any time and casual attire is acceptable. The down side: Tea? Cookies? Wine? All virtual. But rest assured, the house is “real”.


Our kitchen makeover is still a work in progress but the transformation so far is HUGE. 

The kitchen before sports orange-toned cabinets, a blue laminate countertop and vinyl flooring. Functional? Yes. Dreamy? Not exactly. Not even close.

The kitchen after: lighter walls, light gray painted cabinets, granite countertops, marble subway tile backsplash, wide plank bamboo floors and a dresser as a temporary island. We have a little more work to do but it's getting there and already cooking is more fun. Well, I wouldn't really know because Mr. DIY loves to cook but HE looks as if he's having more fun.

Moving along: Originally a closet/entryway, I'm thankful that somewhere along our home's history, a half bathroom was added. There's no such thing as too many toilets. Well, I take that back. There is too many when cleaning day rolls around.

The guest bedroom is all ready for your stay. It's a mixture of old and new. My favorite place to shop is thrift stores, estate sale and flea markets for creating a unique eclectic style and let's face it, when you love to re-arrange, DIY and decorate, it's the most budget-friendly option.

We're empty nester's (hallelujah, we survived!), so this room serves as guest bedroom doubling as my dressing room.

And another serves as my home office/craft room...

And when the weather's warm, we love to lounge and relax or entertain here down below the barn...

Scared you, didn't I? Don't worry! It's a lot more inviting covered patio now...

There's more to see: You're welcome to stop by our home tour at DIY Show Off. One bonus to online visitors is the door is always open and it always looks as if I just cleaned for your arrival. 🙂
