    8:05 PM - By 

    Dried flower DIY’s are all over Pin­ter­est! It makes com­plete sense because those blooms are just way too pret­ty to watch wilt then toss! I have a few beau­ti­ful and hope­ful­ly inspi­ra­tional ways you can res­cue those pret­ty botan­i­cals to keep in your home for a bit longer!

    Thrifted Bookend Makeover with Quikrete

    5:39 PM - By 

    A cou­ple weeks ago I grabbed these hefty book­ends at a yard sale for $3. Real­ly the whole day of hunt­ing was a bust but find­ing these beau­ties turned the day around! That real­ly is the joy in thrift­ing and hunt­ing for those unique items. I hope this thrift­ed book­end makeover will inspire you on your next trip to the thrift store.  When you’re on the hunt I sug­gest look­ing for items with “good bones” I know I prob­a­bly wear that phrase out but it real­ly is the most use­ful tip to remem­ber.

We recent­ly made this Chip­py Gar­den Ter­rar­i­um in our DIY Decor mem­ber­ship and I am still reel­ing over the authen­tic­i­ty of the chip­py paint lay­ers and the ver­sa­til­i­ty of this DIY!

    Get the Weathered Paint Look in 3 Easy Steps

    7:39 PM - By 

    Avid DIY’ers and crafters know what it’s like to acci­den­tal­ly dis­cov­er a tech­nique. That was def­i­nite­ly the case for this weath­ered paint look I used on the DIY gar­den ter­rar­i­um. Real­ly it was impa­tience and my messy craft­ing habits that led to the dis­cov­ery of this tech­nique, but it real­ly did work out in my favor. What I mean by weath­ered paint is that nat­ur­al chip­py-ness and peel­ing paint look on old wood pane win­dows or doors that have years of wear and tear and lay­ers of paint. Yeah, that’s the good stuff we are going for here. Here is what…

    Easy Methods for Bleaching Wood Furniture

    5:29 PM - By 

    Bleach­ing wood fur­ni­ture is not a new con­cept but it is def­i­nite­ly trend­ing in home decor right now. Sim­ply put it’s just a process for light­en­ing wood. I cre­ates that beau­ti­ful, blonde type vibe that can eas­i­ly be mixed into rus­tic decor, mod­ern aes­thet­ics and every­thing in between.  I am espe­cial­ly fond of it bring­ing out the nat­ur­al beau­ty in wood rather than cov­er­ing it with paint. Don’t get me wrong, there is def­i­nite­ly a time and place for paint­ed pieces but this process is per­fect for those heir­loom type pieces that you want to pre­serve or maybe you don’t…
