About Bre

About Bre of Average But Inspired

Hi!  Thanks for stopping by!  I’m Bre, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Average But Inspired is where I share my ideas for creating a home you love without spending a lot of money.  My 1920’s home just outside of Chicago is the place where my DIY experiments happen, and I’ve found that it’s amazing what you can do with a little creativity and a willingness to try.

My projects are always simple and inexpensive because: (a) I usually don’t know what I’m doing; (b) I’m on a budget and can’t afford expensive screw ups; and (c) I only have so much time in each day to devote to my hobbies.  I truly believe that if I can do this stuff, anybody can.

Take a look around and let me know what you think.  I love hearing from friends and readers here on my blog and on my social media channels.

Thanks for reading, and please consider subscribing to my weekly e-mail so we can stay in touch!  Click here to sign up!

Two-Tone Painted Dresser Makeover in Cypress Vine Green and Wood

Have you ever had a vision of how something would look in your home – and you were convinced it would be awesome?  That’s what happened to me when I purchased this antique tall dresser in a Facebook resale group recently.  I knew it would be gorgeous in my living room (to take the place […]

Denim Faux Finish Furniture Painting Technique {A Lingerie Chest of Drawers Makeover}

Several years ago I refinished my childhood dresser for use in my son’s bedroom.  I recently got the matching lingerie chest of drawers back from my sister, and I couldn’t wait to give it a makeover, too!  My son’s room has enough furniture already, so I decided to make over this piece for my husband […]

Chalk Painted Drop Leaf Table Makeover

Several weeks ago my kids and I were driving when I spotted a table in the alley behind our church.  Like the dedicated furniture hoarder that I am, I immediately threw the car into reverse and backed into the alley to check it out.  It was an old drop leaf table that hadn’t sold at […]
