HGTV Dream Home [DIY Style]

Were you one of the many millions who watched the HGTV Dream Home 2012? I missed the actual broadcast, but thankfully it will run endlessly throughout the week. I did manage to watch some of the on-line clips. I also scoured the photo's on the HGTV site. I love the architecture.



I thought it would be fun to review the home as "potential DIY projects". Here is my take on all the ideas that could be replicated.

Starting in the great-room; I am a huge fan of ceiling treatments and this board and batten would not be too difficult


framing four large squares of fabric for a grouping


clustering square coffee tables together to make a large custom size one





adding coffee beans around candles


Line a hallway with lanterns and electric candles. I think this would look great as mis-matched ones as well


Add hooks into the bathroom design


Customize a simple framed mirror


by adding nailheads


Make a custom pet bed


Make candle holders from architectural objects


Paint an American Flag on wood. This would be great using pallet boards!


I think that is enough pinterest projects for now. Did you have a favorite? Would you ever replicate any of them?
