We hope that April was an incredible month for you, full of tulips, sunshine and plenty of DIY projects! That's the formula for the perfect spring right? We had such a fun month and we really hoped you loved following along! Theme months are one of my favorites times of the year! We would love to hear what projects were your favorite this month!? Did you love all of the amazing plywood projects we featured? If you follow the tutorials, we would love to see what you create! We love seeing all of your projects and updates! Please, drop us an email at hello@remodelaholic.com or message us on Facebook, you can always send us a photo here, too. 

This month Justin and Cassity shared this beautiful, modern DIY Waterfall Plywood Console Table with us. Their goal was to show off the unique character of plywood, both the grain of the plywood and the banded plywood edges. I believe they did just that! It is a simple but sleek and very versatile table! Check out their tutorial and think of the perfect place in your home for it!

Printable Last Day of School Signs (Updated for 2016-2017)

Hi Remodelaholics! For those who don't know me, my name is Michelle and I'm the editor of a creative lifestyle blog called Elegance & Enchantment and I also run a stationery/print shop called Enchanted Prints. Regular readers, you may remember some of the projects I've shared including these BBQ Invitations and the Art Prints I designed for #deckthewalls week. I'm so excited to be back this month to share a new set of signs to celebrate the last day of the school year.

We were so overwhelmed by the amazing response from last year’s First Day of School Signs, that we wanted to make sure you were fully equipped with a new set to use for the last day of school. It’s hard to believe that the of the school year is just around the corner, and a reminder of how fast those kiddos are growing up. There’s no better way to document those special milestones than with a photo or two.

I've set you up with a set of 15 different printables, to cover everything from pre-school through 12th grade. Each sign is set up as an 8 x 10 print on 8.5 x 11 paper, that can easily be trimmed out with some scissors.

How To Get The Fixer Upper Look

Over the past few months, we've shared ways to get the look of specific Fixer Upper homes. Today, we're going to be talking more generally about the Fixer Upper style and what decor elements help give the vibe that is all so popular today!

This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. Learn more and read our full disclosure policy here. 

White & Wood

If you look closely at most of the spaces Joanna Gaines designs, you'll see that two consistent elements are white paint and wood accents. You'll typically see white walls (Benjamin Moore Simply White is our favorite warm white color!) and wood accents throughout. The wood comes in the form of hardwood floors, wood beams, or even mirror frames and furniture pieces throughout the home. Shop some of our favorite wood accent pieces reminiscent of Fixer Upper by clicking on any of the images below.

Statement Lighting

If you examine the spaces from any given Fixer Upper episode, chance are, you'll notice some knock-out lighting! You'll see repeated styles, including lots of black iron pendants, chandeliers with washed-out wood, and unique sconces. See below for some of Joanna's favorite statement lights used throughout various episodes.

Greenery

Because the Fixer Upper palettes tend to be rather neutral and muted, you'll notice that the addition of organic elements such as greenery instantly bring the space to life! Never underestimate the power of fresh or faux greenery to really give your space an injection of energy and life!

Farmhouse Elements

You'll find that most of the Fixer Upper spaces aren't complete without the addition of some farmhouse character. This ranges from the shiplap on the walls, to the beams on the ceiling, to the little details scattered around the room. You'll see lots of stripes in the form of rugs, throw pillows, napkins and other textiles. In many of the designs, you'll also see some contrast in the form of black chairs, black lighting, or other small elements, to help add dimension to all of the white and neutrals.

Personal Touches

Most importantly, be sure to add personal touches to your space. At the heart of any Fixer Upper episode is the story of each family. Be sure to include items throughout your home that are important to you. This could be family photos, heirlooms, items from your travels or other sentimental reminders of the ones you love. Remember, this is your space and you want to add features that are welcoming and feel cozy – so that you truly can feel at home!
