Last month I was able to send a Wood Planter Box as the month­ly DIY Decor Project to sub­scribers all across the coun­try! Each box is packed with every­thing need­ed to make some­thing beau­ti­ful for your home includ­ing what you need to try a new fin­ish­ing tech­nique and tips for styling. You can see a full descrip­tion and exam­ple of what we includ­ed in the April DIY Decor Box HERE. I am hon­ored to be able to share these fun and beau­ti­ful projects as a way to encour­age women and help them gain con­fi­dence in dec­o­rat­ing their homes. In April we…

I recent­ly had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to share this adorable wood planter box and a fun new age­ing tech­nique with the sub­scribers of the DIY Decor Box. Each mem­ber receives a DIY project in the mail each month that they then get to craft and style for their own home decor!  In addi­tion to send­ing the box­es, I also like to share tips and tricks for paint­ing, stain­ing, and of course a styling tip here and there. I espe­cial­ly loved this project because I got to share one of my favorite ways for giv­ing a clean straight edge wood piece just a…

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…

Styling cof­fee tables has become one of my favorite ways to quick­ly change up my decor for dif­fer­ent sea­sons or occa­sions. Late­ly I have been mak­ing a lot of new DIY decor pieces from the DIY DECOR BOX and I was so excit­ed to see them all come togeth­er so beau­ti­ful­ly as my cof­fee table decor for Spring.
