This faux french coun­try will have you want­i­ng to grab your joint com­pound and add tex­ture to absolute­ly every­thing! It’s not an extrav­a­gant DIY. Yes there are a few steps and it could get a bit messy but it’s the sum of all those things togeth­er that made a sim­ple, unex­tra­or­di­nary dol­lar tree planter into a French coun­try inspired piece of “faux pot­tery” for your home. What do you need to create a faux french pottery finish? Plas­tic container joint com­pound paint brush x2 paint of choice, I am using a beige sam­ple from Lowes plas­tic Wal­mart Bag Var­nish dirt.….yes good ole dirt from…

Some of my favorite DIY’s start with some­thing so sim­ple. In this case, a sim­ple plas­tic bowl from the Dol­lar Tree was all that I need­ed, along with a lit­tle paint of course to cre­ate a beau­ti­ful DIY Boho Planter. I have recent­ly become a plant mama and I am work­ing hard to keep every­thing alive (fin­gers crossed) and decid­ed to find most of planters either through thrift or DIY. I fell in love with the shape of this stur­dy lit­tle bowl from Dol­lar Tree and decid­ed to give it a whirl. Are you think­ing about mak­ing your own? I have…

One of my very favorite things to do is to build and craft my own decor for my home. I recent­ly was able to extend this love to mem­bers of my pri­vate Wood­shop Mem­bers where we built a dec­o­ra­tive, vin­tage wood­en toolbox.  This mem­ber­ship is designed specif­i­cal­ly for cre­atives who want to make qual­i­ty wood projects for their home with­out the has­sle of going to the lum­ber store, drag­ging out heavy equip­ment and spend­ing big mon­ey just to make some­thing for them­selves. We have tak­en ALL of the wor­ries out of mak­ing your own beau­ti­ful wood projects! So now that…

I can’t get over how beau­ti­ful this DIY farm­house ris­er from an old draw­er turned out. I was gift­ed a cou­ple of the cute lit­tle draw­ers, we think came from an old sewing machine but I can’t say for sure, and I have held on to them, know­ing one day I would use them for some­thing amazing! That day has come. This is not a step-by-step tuto­r­i­al but it was record­ed via Face­book Live and you can watch the record­ing below. Or read on and I will give you a brief syn­op­sis of the process. It was real­ly quite simple.…

Y’all would­n’t believe that this beau­ti­ful piece start­ed out as a 50 cent thrift store cur­tain rod. The beau­ti­ful finials on the ends are what caught my atten­tion as I round­ed the cor­ner, and I quite pos­si­ble heard angels singing in the back­ground. Ok, maybe I’m being just a tad bit dra­mat­ic but you get the point. All of my fel­low thrift store junkies know the exact feel­ing I am talk­ing about. That moment when you see a fab­u­lous piece that will soon make a per­fect addi­tion to your home or maybe its the miss­ing piece of the puz­zle for the…

Do you have an old piece of decor that has seen a bet­ter day, or maybe, if you’re like me, it just does­n’t match your cur­rent style. I have held on to this can­vas for year­rrrs. Lit­er­al­ly. Because I knew one day I want­ed to give it a makeover.  This easy old can­vas makeover will have you look­ing around your home for things that you can change up. Trust me, I am so so hap­py I hung on to it for all these years. This piece it stun­ning and looks like it came right off the shelf. I could kick myself…
