laurenkostercreative

I’ll stop sharing this little nook soon, I promise, but I have to today to let you know I published a tutorial for the plaster table! I used materials i had on hand (leftover plywood and 2x4s) and literally spent $15 to make it! And it really does look as good IRL as it does in the photos! Link in my profile if you want to check it out! . . PSA this pendant light is on clearance for $86!!

Some of my favorite #memorialdaysale picks!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

It’s been a long time coming but I shared all the details of my kitchen on my blog - before and after photos, links, cost breakdown, all of it!! Go check it out if you are thinking about a kitchen renovation or just curious!

#LTKHome

Previously this room had no overhead light. I rewired this pendant to be a plug in and hung it up. Adding this oversized, overhead light really changed the look and feel of the space.

I rounded up a few other large lights that really make a statement.

Here is what my “budget” kitchen makeover cost. I think it’s a great reference point for other folks who have no idea where to start with budget.

Cabinets and doors $5300
Countertops $3500
Hardware $400
Pantry build out $750
Appliances $3450
Backsplash tile $900
Flooring $1000
Labor $6000

Total $23,000
* didn’t break out every line item

I tried to implement quite a few cost saving measures. I used Ikea and SemiHandmade cabinets, Quartz countertops, did demo, paint and built the hood myself. I did go over the budget I had in mind, but thrilled with the function and look of the new space.

It’s okay to wish your kids to stay little forever while also wishing they would be over the toy phase right? Don’t think this basement has ever looked this good again, despite my best efforts. I mean look at this system!

#LTKfamily #LTKfindsunder50 #LTKhome

Another room 95% done. But seriously, I liked this room before, but when I look at the photos it seems so boring!! Added lots and lots of warmth and personality!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKhome #LTKfamily

The reveal!! Gave our 1984 kitchen a glow-up in 2019, and have been saving up for four years to give her a complete facelift!!

Kitchen renos are expensive, it was a fun challenge to get creative to work within our budget (spoiler alert we went over) to get the look I wanted. I am proud of the DIY elements I took on and am so happy with how it turned out!!

Planning a big old blog post to break it all down soon!

#LTKfamily #LTKhome

A slow Sunday morning, aka waffles and time to properly clean. Also, it’s been just about a year since I laid floors in my bedroom, still in love.

#LTKhome #LTKfamily #LTKSeasonal

When you keep adding kids, but not more rooms, the need to do double duty is real. I love all the @tuftandneedle products I’ve used in my bedroom, so I was super excited to try one of their awesome Mint mattresses along with their cozy bedding in my nursery/guest room. At least when our guests get to share a room with the baby they are super comfy. And a white noise machine is a must in a shared room.

The chef’s kiss to my closet make-over, this super easy gallery wall!

After 3.5 years my vision for this room has been realized! It’s always been my favorite room in the house, in fact the space that sold me on the home, but now I like it even more!

#LTKhome #LTKfamily

Finally got around to sharing the plans for the bunk beds, including supply list and lumber details.

Check out the blog post and shop the supplies on @shop.LTK

#LTKkids #LTKfamily #LTKhome

Fun paint details are where it’s at! Much cheaper and more customizable than wallpaper! Scheming a mural in the baby room! It will add a jolt to all the hand-me-downs! Who wants me to share my plans?

#LTKhome #LTKfamily

I cozied up my bedroom for the holiday season with @tuftandneedle! I’ve been using and loving my linen duvet cover for months now and was so excited to layer my whole bedscape in @tuftandneedle goodies! Added linen sheets, a comfy quilt and a textured throw! Take 20% off site wide!!

My @oneroomchallenge reveal part one is on the blog today. Updated our bad 80s bath to a lovely, classic vanilla cake and next week I will add all the delicious and pretty frosting!

#LTKhome #LTKfamily

Can you tell I had so much fun shopping for accessories for the kid’s bath? Rounded up some really fun bath mats and shower curtains on the blog, they are perfect to add personality to a kid’s bath!

#LTKhome #LTKfamily #LTKkids

The kids bath is the perfect place to have some fun! Shop the round-up colorful kids shower curtains.

After a double wedding weekend, savoring a slow Sunday morning. What are you up to today?

#LTKhome #LTKfamily

Last quite Saturday morning for a while. After this, there is a gauntlet of weddings and birthday parties. Trying to find that balance of savoring every minute of summer and having a little relax time. What are you up to this weekend?

#LTKhome #LTKfamily #LTKunder50

Behold! Le bench!!! In true design domino fashion I needed a cooler, sleeker piece to match the stair update. Loving how this turned out!

I did document the processes, but have been terrible at sharing, as it’s been a very slow process. Check it out in my stories today!

Also check out some of my favorite benches, including the ones that inspired this build. On #liketkit @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/3k00D #LTKhome

I could never quite figure out how to get that cozy-casual, lived-in, but styled to perfection look when making my bed. Enter my new @tuftandneedle linen bedding. The soft, textured fabric is the key to achieving the perfectly imperfect styling. Layer lots of pillows and don’t forget the “karate chop!”

If you are looking to recreate that “lived-in” feel shop @tuftandneedle’s sale. They are offering up to 20% off site wide until July 12th! Shop my bed by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app http://liketk.it/3ja9W #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome

I never thought I’d be a person to change out my bedding seasonally, but I may have gone to the dark side, or in this case the light side. I got my bed summer ready with a new linen duvet cover from @tuftandneedle. I remixed some of my existing neutral pillows with the luxurious linen bedding from @tuftandneedle and now i feel like I’m sleeping on a cloud. I could not be more excited to end long summer days right here. #TBD http://liketk.it/3ght7 #liketkit http://liketk.it/3ghxP @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome

Me: Will I ever stop plastering things?
🎱: don’t count on it

Lamp from our very 70s family cottage, slowing being brought into this century. So happy to give this lady her second life.

I’m shopping for a new bench, so naturally I rounded up my favorites to share with you! Which is your favorite? http://liketk.it/3fKEI #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome @liketoknow.it.home

It’s here, it’s here!! We got the new sofa and I’m in love!! The color is perfect, the styling is relaxed and she is sooo comfy!! A few other subtle changes in this frame, including this plaster lamp make-over, the squishiest pillows from The Studio McGee collection at Target and painted the fake wood door black.

This living room makeover is almost complete! You can instantly shop this room by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app http://liketk.it/3ejOu #liketkit @liketoknow.it

My first project of 2021 was not high impact in terms of really dramatic before and afters, but upgrading my tiny pantry has bought me so much joy. Some rearranging, shelf hanging and new containers took this space up a notch. It’s prettier with much better function!

You guys, I did it! Another @oneroomchallenge in the books! Now to prep my reveal blog post because I totally blew by week 5. I really cannot believe I pulled it off! With a 1 year old on the move, virtual school and work that actually pay, I’ve been putting in some late nights and some really, really early mornings to transform this bathroom! I cannot wait to share! For now here’s a little sneak and me with one of my extremely hard working power tools, my nail gun! Big shout out to the miter saw too!

A few of you have asked about the floor tiles, they are peel and stick vinyl I’ve linked on @liketoknow.it and will do a blog post soon!!

Thank you @thelipstick lens for making me look like a badass and making this room shine ✨

Real life Sunday morning in this room, pjs still on, colorful toys, slippers, unfluffed pillows. Lived in, and loved. Life isn’t perfect and that’s okay. *she reminded herself. http://liketk.it/2Z36i #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome #LTKkids #LTKfamily

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a fabulous fall weekend. Trying to bottle up the creative energy from the company of last week and my slow weekend and roll is straight into my new week.

Fired up to work on a new wedding e-design, a fun holiday project and put some hours into my @oneroomchallenge room. Finally giving a before tour of the bathroom I’m tackling. Pop up to my stories and check it out!

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is “do you still have more rooms to work on?” Yes is the answer. As far as full rooms go, I just have 3 bathrooms left, plus 1 million smaller projects swirling in my head. After I finish the deck, the big projects will be on hold for a while. I hope to take on one of the bathrooms later this year, but the plan is to enjoy the rest of the summer relatively project free. Meanwhile here’s a photo of the first of our 4 bathrooms I transformed earlier this year.
