In this video I’m tackling a handful of quick, affordable DIY home upgrades that seriously change the look of a space without spending a ton. I start with one of my favorite “why didn’t I do this sooner?” tricks—spray painting decor. I had a Target vase I loved for the shape and texture, but the old blue/gray tones kept it stuck in my storage room. A few coats of gloss white spray paint brought it right back to life, and it instantly felt fresh and elevated on my table. Then we jump into my biggest transformation: my double-sided fireplace. I’ve repainted this thing more times than I can count, but I’m finally getting it closer to the light, bright, luxe glam vibe I want—without dropping $5,000+ on real marble. I repainted the fireplace Sherwin Williams Pure White to blend seamlessly with the walls, and I ditched the heavy black insert look (and yes, my “mustard” gold paint test was a fail thanks to my daughter calling it out). I also swap in a fun gold light fixture, paint my black windows white, switch my black curtain rod to a gold one, hang crisp semi-sheer white curtains, and add a gold-and-marble floor lamp for cozy winter lighting—because Michigan winters are no joke.
