Measuring Cup Display

6 materials
Easier access to measuring cups, measuring equivalents and cute kitchen wall decor all in one. After I saw this great idea I had to make it! Turning a great idea into something anyone can do!
measuring cup display
Find yourself a cheap, boring print and frame from the thrift store, or reuse one that you are sick of in your house (that is what i did).
Make sure it has a cardboard backing, or similar, something sturdy so you can mount your measuring cups onto it.

This was the back of the frame after I turned the print around.

I ordered the vinyl cuttings from a friend who has a silhouette cutter, and they turned out great! You can buy them off etsy as well, I have found similar designs for 10-15$.
I chose not to paint the back because I liked the color that the backing already had.
I arranged the prints how I wanted them.

I made sure to measure where things were to be placed, to make sure they lined up properly when I applied them.
For the hooks: I used old bamboo pieces from a necklace and staples that fell out as I turned the painting around in the frame. I just hot glued them on and waited for them to dry before I put the cups on.
BE CREATIVE. You don't have to spend a fortune on good ideas.
I have seen others use command hooks, but that wasn't going to work with me because this was a compulsive crafting moment and it was late and stores were closed, so I improvised.

I was very hesitant to hang this for fear that it would not work, but I did it, and it worked! Everything hanged nicely.

Giving an Old Basket a New Look

Giving an Old Basket a New Look

We all have some old baskets at home which we no longer use. I decided to give this little basket a little makeover using some spray paint and petroleum jelly. As I wanted the basket to have a little oomph I decided to have a layered effect using antique gold and white spray paint.

Covid Forced Office Place

Covid Forced Office Place

Store closing sign and covid had inspired this built in in our office. Our family has been living in our home for the last 14 years and never had the need to use our office as intended for or what would show on a listing if you sell our house one day.I saw a sign front of World Market and it said “store closing “ which means you can score a deal. I went in and I found 3 floating shelves and decided to buy it and later to figure out what we will use it for. That’s me,discount,buy it and later we will see what to use it for. My husband hates it but it is what it is.Since covid started many people forced to work from home and also kids to learn virtual. Decided to convert our workout room to office and that’s how it started. Sat down to the sketching board and started brainstorming on what do we want and what we do not want.Anyway, here are some pictures of our projects. Should’ve taken more pictures . This isn’t a weekend project ,neither on the cheap side but I am convinced we saved money and when we will decide to sell our house it will help the sale.Enjoy it and if you have any questions please do not hold back.

Easy DIY Farmhouse Coffee Cup Stand With Vintage Hooks

Easy DIY Farmhouse Coffee Cup Stand With Vintage Hooks

The idea for this Easy DIY Farmhouse Coffee Cup Stand with Vintage Hooks was born in December, when I was prowling around on Amazon, looking for a mug stand to hold all the Christmas mugs that come out just for the holidays.During my search, I came across one that I liked, and decided to hold off on ordering the Amazon stand, because I knew I could make it myself. Even better, I had some vintage closet hooks that used to be my mom’s, and right away, I knew this would be the perfect way to use them!On the left is the one for sale on Amazon, and on the right is the one I made!

Create Your Own Coffee Shop in Your House.

Create Your Own Coffee Shop in Your House.

do you think there is something better than curling up with a good book? Actually, yes. It’s to have the perfect spot to cozy up with it and the warm cup of coffee by your side. With my husband, we always dreamed about a cozy corner in our house. It was just about a coffee station where we can hang up together and talk about today and tomorrow. And while making this project we’ve got the idea to include the mini library with it. Honestly, sometimes you just want to spend some quite and quality time with yourself, reading your favorite novel or checking out the latest news. actually, it’s much safer to stay home than going out side. This corner is a perfect corner for two as well as for a solo moment why not?.The decor i did can be converted to different styles. If you like rustic or modern just change the furniture to what suits you or match better your interior decor. It’s just to Keep that in mind.

I’m sure that, like me, you have more than a few beautiful cookbooks stuffed away in a cupboard or on a shelf.

I also had a few artisanal cutting boards that I thought would add to the rustic vibe of my kitchen. This display rack doesn’t take up a lot of space, and allows you to show off some of your favorite cookbooks, cutting boards, and serving trays.

Crafting Whimsical Stepping Stones With Unicorn SPiT

Crafting Whimsical Stepping Stones With Unicorn SPiT

This post is sponsored by Eclectic Products. All opinions are my own. I don’t consider myself an artist. I have to say, though, after this fun project with Unicorn SPiT I feel like one! Unicorn SPiT makes it so easy to create something out of nothing (like random tree slices). Let me show you how I created five fun stepping stones with Oak tree slices and Unicorn SPiT.So what is Unicorn SPiT? According to Eclectic Products website “UNICORN SPiT SPARKLING is a paint, gel stain and glaze concentrate – all in one bottle. It creates a sparkling, 3-dimensional effect on wood, glass, metal, fabric, pottery, wicker, concrete and laminate. Ideal for creating new – or – refinishing thousands of projects.”Let me show you the Oak Tree Slices I’m going to be transforming today with this fun product.

Our DIY Finished Basement – Industrial Farmhouse Design

Our DIY Finished Basement – Industrial Farmhouse Design

For years we thought about finishing our basement. We found ourselves at the point of deciding whether to move or just bite the bullet and utilize the space we had downstairs. I’m so glad we choose to finish it.Here I will share the design elements that went into our industrial farmhouse design as well as the process.Design & Planning Basement When it came to planning our finished basement, the first thing I did was determine how the space was going to be used. I knew we wanted a large open area, a bedroom, a storage closet, and a bar area. I had to take pen to paper and determine where it would make sense to put everything.Next, we had to decide if we wanted to hire a company, or do it ourselves. We got 3 quotes from companies and with the lowest coming in at over $50,000 for the bare minimum bones, we knew we could do ourselves cheaper and nicer.DesignNext came my favorite part: the design! For our finished basement, I had a few options: rustic, industrial, or farmhouse. I decided to go for an industrial farmhouse design (with a bit of rustic mixed in). Knowing what design you want will help you to make all the little decisions when it comes to finishing the basement.Basement Storage ClosetOur basement storage closet was a project we did before we went ahead and finished the entire basement. We had storage under our stairs but I wanted more of a closet area that I could put bins on shelves.On the back wall we added shelves all the up to the ceiling.On the right side, I wanted a hanging bar to store all the winter coats during the warmer months. We added a shelf under and above for more bin storage.

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….

Have you painted your kitchen cabinets? If not, do you want to? If so, why haven't you? It's not a difficult process, although it can be time-consuming. I painted our cabinets about 9 years ago and they have held up really, really well! And, it only took a day to do the project! (That would not be the case this time, though.....)
