DIY decorating and crafts
I've been working on my outdoor space this year. Last month I made some DIY Subway Tile Planters and a privacy screen out of old doors that were sitting in my garage. I had an outdoor table in my yard that was very weathered and worn. And since I am working on my tiling skills (I bought a tile saw last month too), I wanted to update that table with a subway tile top! And actually, this … [Read more...]
I love my home, but I have always thought the front yard was pretty dull. We basically have all grass in the front yard, and a little planter area right next to the walkway. We have lived here for 10 years and in that time have never done anything with the little planter area. It has always had a pine tree and some scraggly bushes. So I thought "this is the year!!" and decided to add a little … [Read more...]
One of my favorite Home DIY projects to make over the past year has been painting rugs. It's so fun to come up with a pattern or design and then create it. I love taking a pattern from a pillow or even trying to recreate the same pattern from a very expensive rug. This week I took a pillow from my daughter's Nautical Teen Room and decided to use that Greek Key pattern on a painted rug. It … [Read more...]
Thanks for all of the sweet comments on Hayley's Nautical Room Redo!! This will be the last post on the room for awhile :) I had a lot of emails wondering how I made the Rustic Focal Board Wall in her room. Here's what I did: The whole room redo started off when I saw these boards at Lowe's: I brought them home and painted them three different colors: Valspar Spun Honey Valspar … [Read more...]
In my daughter's new Nautical Teen Room, I used cool outdoor galvanized wall lamps from Lowes: They were super inexpensive and beachy. But wait -- those lights I bought are outdoor lights with no switches. They're the "Portfolio Galvanized Steel Outdoor Wall Lamps" from Lowe's. (this and other hardware pictures from Lowe's ... with links in text to the actual product descriptions) So, … [Read more...]
My oldest daughter has a bedroom in the basement. She loves that she gets space to herself down there, but since it's below ground it is a little dark. Plus, we painted her room brown, which made it even darker (why did we do that???). And she had a great loft bed/desk unit, but since the ceilings are low in her room, she couldn't sit up in bed and it felt cramped. She ended up not spending time … [Read more...]
I have been wanting to make a paper wreath for awhile. I LOVE pretty paper and I thought it would be so fun to make a wreath using some bright and spring-y paper. I saw a couple amazing paper wreaths at the CHA show last year. So when I saw the Silhouette online store had some paper flower 3-d images, I decided to try making a wreath with them. {Spring 2012 Mantel} Here's what I did: … [Read more...]
Who's ready for SPRING??? I am!!! The weather is getting warmer and I am getting excited for capris, flip flops and picnics!In the meantime, I thought maybe if I decorated my mantel for Spring, that might help it get here sooner LOL. I found a beautiful old door at a local architectural salvage yard. I LOVED the bright green/teal color that it had been painted many moons ago. Someone had … [Read more...]
I'm trying to design and decorate a few of my rooms, and I've discovered that I want to make places in my home that are not only pleasing to look at, but serve a function as well. What got me thinking about this? Well, when I reworked my entertainment unit in the family room, we found the space was so much more fun and usable afterwards. It's amazing how much more time we spend in the our … [Read more...]
Happy Tuesday!! I finally finished my family gallery wall -- woo hoo!! It all started with these unfinished frames from Cut It Out Frames. I had a hard time deciding what color to paint the frames. In the end I opted for white that matches my trim because I wanted the fabulous pictures my sister Wendy took of us to shine through. Here's a tip that can save you a lot of time and … [Read more...]
