    1:58 AM - By 

    We recent­ly opened up our new home decor shoppe and I knew after open­ing week­end that I would need a cute way to pro­vide hand san­i­tiz­er at the check­out. That is when I thought of this soap pump makeover! I found the cutest glass soap pump for $1 with a hob­nail pat­tern that I could­n’t resist. A quick clean­ing and a lit­tle paint and this makeover was fin­ished and ready for the check­out counter. I cov­ered the glass por­tion of the pump with 2 thin coats of chalky white paint and applied rub n buff in antique gold to the…

    3:25 AM - By 

    Every year it seems like I am left scratch­ing my head try­ing to fig­ure out the per­fect Christ­mas cen­ter­piece for my din­ing table, cof­fee tables, sofa table…any table real­ly. But I believe I may have found some­thing unique, sim­ple and beau­ti­ful with this DIY Christ­mas centerpiece. It all start­ed with an old lampshade…yes you read that cor­rect­ly, A lamp shade.  It was old. Stained. Bor­ing.

    Textured Wood Block Christmas Tree Using Sand Paint

    11:28 AM - By 

    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…
