Spooky Halloween Wreath

This spooky Halloween wreath will be a hit with everyone that sees it. The idea came to me when I purchased a foam wreath from a yard/garage/tag sale. I rounded up when I listed the price at $5.00. I listed this project as 4 hours to make because of letting the spray paint dry first. I also listed the project as easy, but please be careful when using a hot glue gun. You could also use Elmer's Glue, but remember it will take a day at least for the glue to dry.

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.

Add Heat to Your Basement With a Vent “Jersey Girl Knows Best “

So I’ve been pondering this idea about adding a vent to my exposed duct work in the basement for additional heat. The next time you have your HVAC serviced ask your technician if you can add additional vents/registers to your existing system in the basement ducts. If the answer is yes, then you’re all set to start this project! I worked on this, its complete and I already feel the warmer temperature down there! This is a great alternative to an electric heater because it was getting pretty cold 🥶 and I don’t want to forget and leave one of those heaters turned on by accident. Most of the materials you will already have at home or you can borrow or rent them. I by no means have any HVAC experience, but I am pretty handy with tools and I watch YouTube videos🛠 🧰 Are you ready?! Let’s do this!

Budget-Friendly Coastal Wall Decor

Uncategorized Budget-Friendly Coastal Wall Decor Are you looking for budget-friendly coastal wall decor for your home? I’ve got a really simple and totally budget-friendly project for you! Last year, my girls came home from a trip to Hilton Head and decided they wanted to replicate the coastal/beachy feel in their bedroom. I agreed, but with lots of reservations and my own stipulations. Often the decor in beach houses and condos borderlines on cheesy. I mean, it’s possible to overdo seashells, sea creatures, anchors, and other nautical accessories. Every home decor store has a section dedicated to this motif. Since I was the person paying for this transformation, I wanted it all to be done with touches of coastal, yet still be classy and not too juvenile. In all of my Pinterest searches, I came across some really neat decor ideas that I decided I could DIY!

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!
