House Proud

House Proud: Kate Riley

See why Northern California's DIY designer, bargain shopper, and "Centsational Girl" blogger Kate Riley is proud of her "diamond style on a dime" home renovations!

  • Stunning Staircases

    Stunning Staircases

    In a challenging project that led to amazing results, Kate and her husband remodeled their entire builder-grade oak staircase themselves, transforming it from dated and drab to a classic and beautiful entry.

  • Kids' Playroom

    Kids' Playroom

    The walls of the kids' playroom in Kate's home are painted a shade of camouflage green to offset the neutral hues of the oversized framed map.
  • Office Whites

    Office Whites

    Kate's home office was every shade of brown until she got her hands on it. The walls are covered in beautiful grasscloth wallpaper, which Kate hung herself. A lucky coincidence led her to a local store’s going out of business sale, where she snagged most of the furniture in this space and gave it a crisp coat of white paint.

  • Refinished Credenza

    Refinished Credenza

    Kate’s addicted to thrift stores, and always on the hunt to transform the mundane into something unique, modern and beautiful. Believe it or not, this gray credenza with a geometric painted pattern was once a two tone dated piece with a laminate top.

  • Colorful Accessories

    Colorful Accessories

    Kate topped her refinished credenza with a few deep pink and plum accessories, and hung an inspiration board to display reminders and mementos.

  • Storage Space

    Storage Space

    For additional office supply storage, Kate uses containers found at antique stores or flea markets.
  • One Fine Chair

    One Fine Chair

    Kate demonstrates how easy it is to turn a thrift store chair into a modern beauty. All you need is a little spray paint, some fresh new fabric, and if you want a tailored look, a few turns on a sewing machine for a crisp new upholstered seat cushion.

  • Classic Kitchen

    Classic Kitchen

    Kate and her husband built their kitchen for family and entertaining. They mixed classic white cabinetry topped with crema marble with a gray green painted island and a ebony glazed cherry wood top. Kate shares all the lessons she learned during her kitchen renovation in her blog, a must-read for any homeowner contemplating a kitchen remodeling project.

  • Tufted Headboard DIY

    Tufted Headboard DIY

    The upholstered tufted headboard was one of Kate’s many DIY projects. It involved an afternoon of cutting the plywood, spacing the holes, adding foam, batting and fabric, then tufting with fabric covered buttons.

  • Silver Lamp Upgrade

    Silver Lamp Upgrade

    The lamp pictured was previously a bronze lamp from Kmart, yet with the addition of silver leaf, it makes a glamorous statement in this feminine bedroom.

  • Master Bedroom Wall Art

    Master Bedroom Wall Art

    Many mistake it for wallpaper, but Kate actually hand pained this trellis wall in her master bedroom with a homemade stencil and some metallic craft paint.

  • Teal and White Laundry Room

    Teal and White Laundry Room

    Kate's fresh teal and white laundry room was originally drab, but she spent a week refinishing the cabinets and making a new roman shade to revamp the entire space. You’ll also spy one of her favorite DIY projects: a laundry room drying rack that she made just for drying delicates.

  • Living Room Flair

    Living Room Flair

    Despite her love of traditional French decor, Kate adds modern flair to her living room with a Moroccan-shaped Casbah mirror and a trellis pattern rug. She recently revamped the pictured thrift store chair by painting the caning and frame white and reupholstering the cushion with elegant camel velvet.
  • Personalized Dresser

    Personalized Dresser

    Kate found this Ikea Hemnes dresser on Craigslist and personalized it with some crisp blue stripes for her young son’s room.

  • Painted Mirrors

    Painted Mirrors

    Kate's family room space lacked any windows of its own, so she cleverly hung a trio of painted mirrors over the gray blue slipcovered sofas to pull light from the adjacent kitchen.
