Handmade no sew Tee Pee

I've wanted a teepee for about, oh, seven years now. (PS. did you know tipi, tepee + teepee are all acceptable? The things you learn when writing a blawgh.)
I first spied one in the mall before I got the nerve to try things on my own, and the price tag was not pretty. ($$$ x 4!) Then I wanted to make one, but the sewing part always freaked me out a little. You know, triangles and preciseness, and giant poles falling on your children and eight hour projects amongst other various whatnots. I'm getting the hang of sewing, but I was looking for an easier approach.
So I decided on a no-sew tactic.

DIY Black Buffet Makeover

DIY Black Buffet Makeover

I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this DIY black buffet makeover. All opinions of their amazing brushes are my own.You know that buffets are one of my favorite pieces of furniture to make over. I buy them whenever I can find them at a good price and in need of some TLC and love.The things I look for in a buffet before I will bring it home are:Is it made of real wood? If the buffet is not real wood, I will not bring it home.Are there any major problems in the wood? If there are huge chunks of the wood falling apart of it a dog has chewed up the legs, I will not bring it home.Does it have missing hardware? No problem! I can always find new hardware for it.Are the drawers functional? Most of the time, we can fix drawers that aren’t working or are missing the bottom inside. When we weren’t confident in our “drawer fixing” skills, I would look at the piece and see if we could turn the broken drawer into a shelf instead and have it work that way.Price. This is a huge deciding factor when picking up any piece of furniture. It has to be in my “buffet budget” to have it make sense to bring home and work on it.Those are the main things I look for when deciding to bring a buffet home or not.

Shou Sugi Ban Picture Frame

Shou Sugi Ban Picture Frame

I spotted this method on Pinterest awhile back and was so taken with the results I just had to have a try. To keep it simple I chose to do a Shou Sugi Ban picture frame as my first project. I have a bad habit of diving in feet first and biting off more than I can chew, so I kept it simple. I was looking for a new picture for my bedroom and having lived in South Africa most of my life, I love the African bush. So my idea was to have an African bush scene that is framed in burnt wood. If you have never heard of Shou Sugi Ban it is a method of burning wood. There are a few ways to do it such as leave the wood all charred, black and cracked. Or you can remove the black and have a natural wood colour.

Add much-needed character at a fraction of a cost using peel & stick vinyl flooring planks. Not only was this project easy but creating the faux barn wood was a piece of cake too!Back in the fall, I had the opportunity to travel to one of my dearest friend’s new home in the Texas Hill Country. She purchased and beautiful home with great bones and beautiful appeal. This abode was however lacking a little of the Hill Country charm she wanted. Case in point, the kitchen bar area.The kitchen itself is a perfect size and the bar area is wonderful for friends and family to gather – it just needed a little “Hill Country ranch” oomph.

House Painting Project: Before and After Photos

House Painting Project: Before and After Photos

This house painting project, like so many of our others, went from not a priority to an immediate need fast. I was sick of looking at the peeling exterior paint on the plain plywood siding. Not to mention the sad curb appeal. It took some convincing but eventually, I made my case to my husband and he agreed to at least get some quotes.The first step for anyone about to undertake this type of home improvement is to figure out if this is a project you want to DIY or hire a painting contractor. I knew this answer immediately, I would be hiring this project out. After refreshing our kid’s bathroom over the summer, I swore I would never paint anything ever again. And I meant it.Finding a Painting ContractorI’ve learned over the years that the best way to find a good contractor is through referrals. When we did our kitchen remodel, I asked our good friends who they recommended since they have remodeled two homes and the husband works in construction. Their recommendation was fantastic and once again, they came through with their paint guy.All painting contractors will come and give you a free estimate. I recommend getting 3 different estimates so you can get the going rate for your area. This also gives you some leverage should you need to negotiate. Luckily for us, our friend’s recommendation was friendly, professional and his quote couldn’t be beaten.When we met, I asked about:What was the process like? How much prep was there and what did we need to do to make the exterior house painting project a success.Was capable of doing some of the additional carpentry I was looking to have done?What his timeline would be?What was included in his quote?Exterior House Paint: Before and After PhotosIt was obvious that our house hadn’t been painted in a VERY long time, plus it just didn’t reflect our style. I wanted to update not just the exterior paint color but also add some character and detail to the house without blowing our budget. The plywood siding and stucco, while boring and dated, was still in good condition so there was no sense in taking on a full siding project. Our painting contractor added some planking to give the plywood areas a board and baton look, saving us THOUSANDS of dollars.

DIY Ottoman Made From an Old Tire

DIY Ottoman Made From an Old Tire

This is my favorite kind of DIY project, cheap, easy and environmentally friendly! After updating my bathroom and closet, I needed to spruce up the bedroom. I’m loving the bohemian look these days, so what better than a ottoman made from a repurposed material like an old tire? A not so fun fact about tire disposal is that tires are one of the most problematic sources of waste we face today. 44 States have banned them from landfills, but the recycling process is expensive and almost always passed on to the consumer. Tire DIY /repurposing projects could help, even if just a little….

And because they were good Tupperware, I hated to throw them away. Especially since I am a professional organizer and I try to keep only the number of containers that I need. Here's my very easy, tried and true way to even remove tomato-based stains.

Spring Centerpiece: Hot Air Balloon

Spring Centerpiece: Hot Air Balloon

Spring is around the corner which means fresh air, nicer weather and lovely colorful flowers. I don’t know about you but I love the colors of spring. This DIY is intended to be used for my granddaughter’s 1st birthday party but I thought I’d share it here because I think it’s also a great centerpiece to use for spring or Easter. Imagine sticking a cute little bunny in the center of this hot air balloon. I think it would be adorable.I will be showing two different ways of making this centerpiece, one will be made using a brown paper bag. Yes, you heard correctly, a simple brown paper lunch bag. This is a good way of making it if you plan on using faux flowers and if you’re going to use it indoors or outside if there’s no wind. I suppose if it were windy, you could add colorful rocks or a weight inside of the bag to prevent it from flying away. This method has the balloon tied down with a ribbon in the center of the bag. The weights or rocks would not be visible once you add your flowers.The second method will be made using a small box/planter and floral foam. By making it this way, you could choose to use fresh flowers or faux flowers. I also used a “balloon stick holder with a cup” to hold the balloon in place. For either method, you could use helium or non helium balloons. I will be using non helium and the balloon stick method because I believe it’s a better way to ensure the balloon will stay still. I thought it would be great to show you 2 different ways of doing this and after doing both methods, I preferred the non helium with the balloon stick holder.Alright, let’s get DIYing!
