House Number Door Hanger: Spring Edition

I'm a little obsessed with door hangers.Last year's fall and Christmas editions were full of deep, rich colors, but now that spring is nearly here, it's time for something a little softer to welcome warm days full of buds and blooms.

Bling Bling House Numbers

Like most people today, we all download to usb and live stream , so no longer have a use for all the cd’s and DVD’s. So I wanted to try and find a way to recycle them. I wanted to start off small because doing a mosaic can be very time consuming so I went for a simple house number. This project was so awesome, that Hometalk turned it into a video! Watch it right here:

This One is for All the Cat Owners! Custom Raised Bowl

I have 2 cats. Both are not picky at all with what I feed them but one throws up pretty often after eating. I've tried smaller portions more often and different food but nothing seems to really help. One day I was scrolling Facebook and saw an ad for a raised, tilted cat food dish and decided I would make one myself.

Framed Shiplap Wall Decor

We recently completed a mini powder room makeover on a very small budget. I was so happy with how everything turned out except for the area above the toilet. I was playing around with the idea of adding shelves, but quickly decided against that for two reasons. One, was that I didn’t want to spend any money on purchasing shelves and items to decorate those shelves with. Two, I wanted something simple that would not be fussy and would always look good. This brought me to the idea of hanging a wreath above the toilet. I tried that and it looked a bit lost hanging all on its own. After doing some scrolling I was inspired by a picture of some shiplap that had been framed. I thought this was so perfect as I already had the shiplap from a previous project! I absolutely love how this piece turned out, and what I love even more is that I was able to be creative and use what I already had to decorate my space.

Basement Makeover

I was asked to help a friend makeover her basement, so we planned and I came up with this.

Crocheted Air Plant Pods

These crocheted pods are great for displaying your air plants anywhere you’d like to hang them, like in a window or even on the fridge. I love thinking up new and different ways to display air plants (like this cement planter). I think they’d be a great gift for mother’s day!This project starts with some thrifted yarn and two sizes of loose-leaf binder rings.

Repurposed Old Wide Mounted Mason Jars to Become Cute Hurricane Lamps

I had these crochet lace pillowcases when I was growing up that I got to match my grandmother's crochet blanket. I haven't used it in years and wanted to do something with it to honor my grandmother. So, this week, I am going to share how I took these old mason jars (from How to Create a Bathroom Wall Mason Jar Organizing Post) and turned them into DIY hurricane lamps.

But large containers also tend to have larger expenses.Here are smart money saving ideas for filling a large flower container on your porch, patio or in your garden. These are tips to help you save on the cost of soil, the cost of the pot, and the expense of the plants.

Giani Nuvo Cabinet Paint Tutorial

This post will talk about my experience/how to with Giani, Inc. Nuvo Cabinet Paint. Giani was gracious enough to send my this paint to me free of charge in exchange for my honest review of their product. We used this paint on out master bath vanity during the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge, and let me tell you, it was SO easy (WAY easier than our kitchen cabinets – I honestly wish I would have used this stuff in our kitchen, because not only is it super simple, but it looks gorgeous and has held up great)!(I later used Nuvo in our guest bath makeover as well - we love It and it has held up so well over the past 3 years).((Head to my blog for more!)

A Quick Weekend Closet Makeover With ClosetMaid

This post is sponsored by ClosetMaid. All opinions are my own.We love a lot of elements of our little, old house, but the tiny closets are not one of them. We wouldn’t call ourselves fashion people by any means (most of our day-to-day pandemic wear is paint-stained project clothes, if we’re honest) but after a quick weekend closet makeover with ClosetMaid’s SuiteSymphony system, we feel like we’re shopping in a cute little boutique every time we get dressed.You can also get more DIY tips and hints at our blog Shoe Makes New.

Affordable Ways to Organize Outside Storage Cabinets

I wanted to organize my outside cabinets to help me find things easily when gardening and doing stuff outside. All this stuff was stored in various areas like the shed, garage, and cabinet. I wanted to gather it all in one place for easy access and hopefully help with no duplicate purchases. Check out how I did it.

DIY Sign

I wanted to change up my space for spring and summer by incorporating yellows. I love lemons, so I figured I would start there! I was browsing Joann Fabrics the other day, I saw those $2 bags they have up towards the cash register, and a lemon printed one caught my eye. An idea spring to mind, and so I decided to grab the bag and head home instead of spending a ton of cash on the other incredibly cute summery signs they have. Follow along as I show you how to make the easiest sign at the lowest price!

Floating Sofa Table From Reclaimed Barnwood

The small seating area on our main floor is a bit of an odd layout. After moving the L-shape couch from our family room into this area recently, it was too large for the space and also covered the air intake vent. I kept pulled it away from the vent, but every time someone sat on it (even our chubby dog) it would slide back up against the vent.

Louvered Hall Tree

I was given a louvered door for free! We knew we wanted to make a hall tree out of it, but we weren't sure if we had all the pieces to make one. Until . . .

Steampunk Gnome Doorstop

This project is a combination of two projects I was making that failed. I tried to make a lady sock gnome but could not get the hair to look pretty. And the cement bottle broke and did not work out how I wanted it. So I put them together to get this steampunk gnome doorstop with pretty hair.

DIY Convertible Sand and Water Table With Beer Cooler Option

Most days, I'm desperate to keep my three-year-old son quietly occupied while I wrangle my newborn or get work done. Sensory bins are a great option, but Evan's ability to keep rice confined to a plastic tub is spotty at best.Most sensory bin activities involve making a mess – that's part of the fun!Never heard of a sensory bin, you say? Allow me to share God's gift to moms everywhere...

$15 Backsplash Make Over

Searching for ways to give your backsplash a makeover? I have an idea for you that is under $15! Have I told you I love our cottage? If I have not, then I want to let you know I do! We keep working at making it "our" home with our personalities reflected throughout. Sometimes I come up with a really crazy idea, and then the more I think about it I wonder if it is as crazy as I think it is, or if it is just perfect for our cottage.If you have read along for any length of time then you know my creativity was hindered by an art teacher for way too long. If you would like to read that post, you can click on Spring Decorating Idea. I am unsure if she was having a bad day, meant what she said, or what happened that day in 1980 something, but you know what? When working with the youth, you never know how you say something could be taken to heart. Sometimes you need to be mindful with your approach because like me, they could take that one comment and let that affect them... forever... don't worry, I got my confidence back in the creativity department. I quite enjoy it now... which leads us back to my crazy idea.There is one room in our home that I have not spent energy doing much of anything to since Mr. Vintage is dead set it will be completely remodeled. Yep, the kitchen... I have spent many hours combing the internet looking at kitchens. None really get me excited. I do not want a kitchen like everyone else. Standard boxes that store things... I want to be excited to be in my kitchen! I want it to reflect my personality... I want to wake up every morning with a smile on my face and be so excited to set foot in my kitchen that I cannot sleep at night... ok, that may be taking it a bit far. I already do not sleep enough... but I do want to be excited to spend time in my kitchen.I want to see curves... detail... furniture... not square boxes all lined up and your standard backsplash, and standard tile on the floor... I would love to have the black and white penny tile of days gone by, but Mr. Vintage does not agree... and I know you have to compromise... but why on this one detail do we have to? LOL.So, when I had a crazy idea for a new backsplash, I presented my idea to Mr. Vintage. He did not have much to say at first, sometimes I think he has to prepare himself for the idea and know we will more than likely move forward with it, but he has to mentally get himself ready for it... like why do I want the bathroom closet wallpapered? Click if you would like to read You will never guess what we did. He just shakes his head and asks how do you think this will get done and who is doing this project?My response is we can do this wonderful project together. Then we start whatever project and he takes over because he does not like how I do something or I get frustrated because it is not working out the way I saw it coming together in my mind.... secretly, he is just better at doing projects than me so I tend to get frustrated early on. Shhh... do not tell him my secret!So when I prompted him again about changing out the backsplash, he said he wanted to do it when we remodeled the kitchen. I said well, I have an "easy" way to make it different, and beautiful, and fancy pants... he rolled his eyes and kept doing what he was doing since he has found the projects are seldom easy... so then I had to step up my game and tell him I could do it for less than $15.00! That may have gotten his attention...Here is our backsplash before:

DIY End Table to Hide the Shredder

*This post is sponsored by GBC. All thoughts and opinions are my own*Shredders are a fantastic way to get rid of secure materials, but they aren’t always the best looking or fit nicely into the decor.

Here is the tutorial of how I made a DIY end table to house my new shredder. Let’s get started!Before: The reason for building the DIY end table

Our DIY Faux Brick Fireplace

When we first moved into our builder-grade home, I remember being so excited to have a fireplace. Every year around Christmas I would think to myself “Ugh, I need a mantel!” Well, other projects always seemed to take priority, and here we are 14 years later – still no mantle and some ugly outdated tiles to go along with it. Well, this is the year – my DIY Fireplace makeover is finally happening!I landed on a farmhouse style fireplace. We had recently added a shiplap wall so I knew I wanted to go with a dark wood mantel that was much wider than the fireplace itself and obviously that tile needed to go! I have been really into the white brick look, so I opted for a “faux brick fireplace” using tile and wide white trim.Like I said, my design was based on a white brick look so I researched options for the fireplace. When we finished our basement, I was able to create a fake brick wall using wall panels, but that wasn’t going to work here. So after searching high and low I was able to find a “faux” brick fireplace tile at Home Depot online. It’s called Capella White Brick tiles that were 2 ⅓ x 10 inches.

DIY Peel & Stick Vinyl Wall Planks

My son’s closet has always been a dumping ground for junk that really doesn’t serve a purpose. My goal for this space is to open it up and to add functional storage that will work well for a very messy 7 year old.

Garden Bunny

I love Spring! I also love items typically found outside like statues, used inside for decorating. I found one I loved but whoa was it expensive! So..I achieved the look with a thrift store find.

Garage Garbage Finds New Life

So I was in need of, and searching for, a dresser. One that I could use in my bathroom, where I require an immense amount of storage.. (I am what my friends would call a 'girly girl'). I had seen what I wanted... in my best friends bedroom, but , she wasn't parting with it.. so I said, if you ever run across something like this, let me know.Fast forward a few weeks.. she finds this dresser, and although it was not like hers , it did have 2 smaller and 2 nice sized drawers. She sent me pictures of it, asked if I wanted it, and based on her evaluation, I bought it. Then she kindly delivered it...I took one look and said "Um.. it has HOLES all over the top of it!" to which her reply was "I liked the legs". (well, I guess that's as good a reason to buy a poor, abused, piece of furniture as any. *sigh*).I told her I thought she had over estimated my level of expertise.. and she said "I'm not worried, you'll make it look good". Ok. No pressure....

DIY Painted And Glazed Side Table

This DIY Painted And Glazed Side Table took a sad thrift store table and turned it into something that is pretty again in a few, short steps. I found this table at my local Salvation Army store. Usually, when I find pieces at this store, they are priced so high that I don’t even get excited about something to catch my eye from a distance. This little guy did catch my eye, but I took my time getting to it, stopping to check out other things along the way.
