DIY decorating and crafts
I made a new wood bead chandelier. I might have a DIY chandelier obesession. I ordered a box of 1,000 wood beads for this project. And I am so excited to show you the tutorial. I just need to take some pictures and write it up. (here it is at my Cookie Exchange last month) In the meantime, here are 16 DIY Wood Bead Chandeliers for inspiration! This is a great way to take an … [Read more...]
Here's a little DIY project we made for Hannah's room. There was a space on her wall by the little desk area we created. I thought it might be the perfect place for her to hang little purses or scarves. And we added some colorful knobs to make it pretty. We used some left over molding from the little house I am working on, so it really only cost the price of the knobs we used. I bought the … [Read more...]
So -- I really wanted to do the reveal on Hannah's room today. But it snowed on Wednesday and Thursday and I had such a hard time getting good pictures of the room. I really need to take a photography class. Plus, Hannah has been home with the stomach flu (poor girl). The room turned out so cute. And for a last minute project I am really happy with it. We pretty much took what we already had, … [Read more...]
On Friday we started a "spur-of-the-minute" room redo for my daughter Hannah. Do you ever do those? It seems like a good idea at the time - three days later you start to wonder lol. Seriously, it has turned out to be such a fun project. But DIY ideas seem to take so much longer than you think they will. The room is coming along. It's going to be so cute. We I stenciled one of the walls … [Read more...]
My kids go back to school in less than a week. Where did the Summer go??? I have been thinking of ways to get us all a little more organized with everything that is going to be happening once school starts. It seems like the older my kids get, the more activities and events that are added to our family calendar. So I found some inexpensive crates at Hobby Lobby which were perfect for what I … [Read more...]
Here's an easy way to change the look of a room. When I was redoing my guest room, I had a headboard in that room that I had bought about 10 years ago and I still loved the curved shape of the headboard. So I decided to try to upholster that headboard. And it turns out that it was easy to do. I ordered some fabric from Spoonflower.com - I love that place! It is a little more expensive … [Read more...]
Have you ever had a project in your mind and then you just can't find what you are looking for? That's what I ran into with my guest room redo. For the bedding I knew I wanted a grey duvet cover that had some ruffles but not too many - so it wouldn't be too "girly". And I wanted it to be a plain color so I could make some graphic pillows to go with the bedding. I looked and looked and couldn't … [Read more...]
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...]
