I recently have been loving this DIY sand paint recipe! Not only does it provided superior coverage but it also leaves behind a nice texture on most any surface.  Here is what you need! 3 scoops Plas­ter of Paris 2 scoops or small craft tube of paint 1 scoop of Sand wood block Christ­mas tree craft kit All you real­ly have to do is com­bine the 3 ingre­di­ents and mix well. It should be the con­sis­ten­cy of run­ny tooth­paste. If it seems to thick, add a tiny amount of water (or more paint) until desired con­sis­ten­cy is reached. Also, when I say scoop it could…

This week I kicked off with some Christ­mas craft­ing. Every Mon­day I go LIVE on Face­book to share a fun makeover idea and this week DIY Christ­mas decor is just what I need­ed to get the week started! I grabbed a can­vas for $1.99 at the local Good­will, removed the dat­ed can­vas image to reveal a cute, chunky wood­en frame. You can see what this frame looked like before on the Face­book replay. After remov­ing the can­vas I sim­ply stained the frame, attached some super cute pol­ka dot rib­bon, embell­ished with some sim­ple green picks from Wal­mart and thid DIY…

Dough bowl decor is super trendy right now! If you have one at home and you’ve been struggling with how to style it, this is for you! Recent­ly, I was asked to cre­ate an arrange­ment for a friend so I reached for an (emp­ty dough bowl can­dle) cleaned up the left­over wax, and start­ed to work on this faux wild­flower arrangement.  I grabbed a piece of flo­ral foam, cut it in half length­wise, and hot glued it to the bot­tom of the dough bowl. Then I cov­ered the flo­ral foam with Span­ish moss, using hot glue. I had all of these…

I feel like I have been on a roll at the thrift store late­ly. This thrift store urn caught my atten­tion right away with its French Farm­house DIY vibes. I paid a whop­ping 25 cents for this lit­tle piece with BIG poten­tial among some oth­er great thrifty decor finds from that day! The next time you’re out thrift­ing or maybe you find your­self pump­ing the breaks for a yard sale, keep this lit­tle urn in mind. This is one of those pieces with “good bones.” The shape, the texture…all the things are right but it just needs a lii­i­i­itle some­thing. That’s…

Yes­ter­day, I took some­what of a “per­son­al” day and decid­ed to step away from the com­put­er and go on a hunt for thrift store decor. Brows­ing the isles and search­ing for mis­placed trea­sures is seri­ous­ly one of my very favorite ways to pass time. That’s the thing about thrift­ing, or just stop­ping in on a whim. Some­times you win big and oth­er times you walk away emp­ty handed.  But either way, there was the hunt. And the truth is, some­times you just need to take a per­son­al day and lose your­self doing some­thing you love, because you love it. And not…
