Lovely. I need to collect some pretty shells!
I'm glad you liked it. I love the beachy look.
I live in a small 2 bedroom home and with that being said I took the smaller bedroom and made a walk in closet so I always needed somewhere for my grand- Munchkins to sleep when they come over. .. and I always wanted a Country Cottage!
At the end of this tutorial - you will have a beautiful blanket with unique tassels. This is a great way to jazz up an old blanket and add some texture to your decor!
Want a fabulous plate to show off your home baked goods? It is so easy to make your own brilliant cake stand, just using stuff from Ikea.
Not only is the cake stand really affordable but you can make whatever design you like as long as you can find it on a paper napkin.
My 9 year old really wanted a loft bed in his bedroom, and I decided to try my hand at building a suspended loft bed. It turned out to be exactly what he wanted, and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be- although I can't emphasize enough that if you attempt this build, you must take extreme care. Use high quality materials and build into the wall studs.This is an in-depth process-for full details, be sure to check out the blog post! I should start off by saying, it would have been a lot easier to build the frame first, then attach it to the wall. But I was building this by myself and wouldn't be able to lift the frame myself, so I had to build the frame to the wall.
Hi, I'm Liz from the DIY & decorating blog Simple Decorating Tips! Before I even tell you how I made faux Delft tiles, I’ll tell you why…
I absolutely love lighting candles at night, especially in the fall. I recently picked up a few new ones, but I’m not in love with the look of the candle jars. The labels are just so big and u-g-l-y and the thought of soaking them to get the labels off sounds like a lot of work.That’s when I came up with this idea for a simple fall candle holder to hide those ugly labels. For the full tutorial, head to this blog post.
This incense holder is made from only two ingredients: A sea urchin and air dry clay. This project is really easy and is so unique. If you are lucky enough to live in a place where sea urchins are naturally found then you just need to go to the beach and pick a few old urchin shells up. If they are not native to your area you can buy them on sites like Etsy for pretty cheap.
I had a boring lamp at home that needed some beautification, so I put together this simple & quick DIY lamp project using washi tape & fabric.
Recently we have been redecorating the master bedroom going with lighter colors. The wicker on these lamps are a little too dark and not giving the ideal farmhouse style look we were looking for. Not letting that stop us from using them, it was decided the table lamps would get a DIY lamp makeover. Thinking how can we give these lamps a farmhouse look, first thing that came in mind was a checkered pattern. What would you think or do to give these lamps a farmhouse look?
One of my (Vicki) favorite ways to create is by using “what I have” on hand—stuff that is in my stash of raw materials, odds and ends, including lamps in all state of disrepair. When Steph challenged me to create an unconventional Christmas tree, I headed to this stash to see what I could come up with. I was intrigued by the idea of transforming the “bones” of a lamp into a multi-level tree complete with wiring to make it a functional lamp as well.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to up-cycling bottles. I recently purchased a bottle cutter and now I have even ways to up-cycle those bottles! You can see more of my crazy creations here
If you have old cookie tins laying around that you want to give new life to - then you must read this post!!!
I love making home decor that comes from nature! Every morning, I take my fur babies for a walk in the neighborhood park, it has trails that wind thru the woods. This past weekend I noticed that the parks department had cut down some trees to clear some new paths, whoohoo!!! The creative juices started flowing!
So, I am either using items or tossing them. When it came to the wicker baskets full of silk flowers I almost tossed them. But an idea came to the rescue and the silk flowers "live" on for another day. :)
In a modern cottage or farmhouse style!
I have been looking to buy a full size mirror for my room for such a long time. However, every time I find the one that I am exited about, the price and I don't seem to agree with each other So as a Do It Yourself person I decided to make one for myself with a fraction of the store price. Here is how I did it... No power tools necessary, if you can glue then you CAN do this DIY! see it for yourself...Materials You will need
Here’s an easy DIY tutorial on how to makeover a chandelier in farmhouse style.
One of the ways I fell most fulfilled in my life is by seeing forward motion. I'm a home school mommy, co-owner of a fitness company, and an aspiring "superwife". Because of this, sometimes my personal dreams, wishes, and feeling of fulfillment get put to the sides so that I could emphasize the things that my family needs. But today my husband, Gabe, has Mia for one full hour. They're downstairs happily playing Legos, so I am going to build a luxury headboard!This is a DIY project that I've had in my head for over a year. I'm excited to see what I can accomplish in an hour.
Make a pretty holder for your earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. All you need is a frame, decorative knobs, and sheet metal!
Have a question about this project?
Can you use the spray adhesive on fabric to cover a lamp shade?
@Dee Johnston Yes, I believe you can.
I don't understand why you put a 'lid' on the lamp? The heat rises and needs to escape from the top. Otherwise, I like what you did with the shells.
It is an LED lamp and, while LEDs do get hot, they don't get as hot as more traditional lights.
Where did you get the light kit from?
I got it from etchall. I’m not sure if they still make the kit.
