I like to creep around during spring and fall clean up and wait for the perfect little piece of unwanted furniture that I can rescue and call my own. There is so much good stuff out there just right for the picking, like this chair for example. Today, I am sharing my curbside chair makeover.
When someone visits my home, there is bound to be a conversation that goes something like this, “I like that, where did you get it?” and I say, “I bought it at goodwill and spray painted it.” With the weather warming up, I have been busy spray painting things for the kids rooms, and figured now would be a good time to share my spray painting tips and tricks with you.
There is an abundance of color choices available today, and sometimes picking the right paint color can be an overwhelming process. But have no fear, I am here to help you do just that!! I have painted 11 rooms in our house so far, and wanted to share with you how to pick the right paint color from the start.
We have been using a wood stove to heat our home for the past few years. Using just electric heat for a house that is approx. 5000 sq. ft can be REALLY expensive (we learned that the first year we moved in) and since my husband owns a tree business, (free wood) using an alternative heat source is the perfect choice for us. My goal this past month was to “play up” the area we have our wood stove installed. Enter, The Big Black Wall.
When we first starting building our home, I always planned to have a grand fireplace made out of stone that covered the majority of this wall. Once we did some research, like this article here, we went with a wood stove instead. I am not going to lie, I was thinking this thing is kinda ugly, and I can’t really decorate it….. priorities right? Read more
Have you ever started a project you knew was doomed from the start? This was one of those types of projects for me. What was supposed to be done in a few days ended up taking two weeks. I wanted black windows, and the DIY gods were not seeing it my way.
Happy fall everyone! Even though the past few weeks have been a little crazy-busy for me, I squeezed time in to make something for fall. I decided to try my hand at marbling. This is a popular trend all over Pinterest, so why not give these easy marbled pumpkins a try?
With July almost here, I thought now would be a good time to share how to make an American flag for your yard. Who knows, maybe you have the materials already and don’t even know it!! Read more
I am here today to share with you the tale of two mirrors, both great makeovers that involved spray paint and stickers.
