I purchased a few jars of Junkie Paint from Candace at Vintage News Junkie and just wanted to share how much I loved this paint! I have used Annie Sloan chalk paint in the past and while I love that as well, the cost makes it difficult to afford my hobby of refinishing furniture. Check […]
Burlap Tree
Thank you to Candace from the Vintage News Junkie for the awesome video tutorial on a burlap tree perfect for Christmas decorating! I still have a stash of wine theme print burlap from my curtains so figured I’d make a little cone tree. I painted a cardboard cone silver, as I am decorating this year […]
Angel Wings
I was browsing Hobby Lobby this past weekend and saw these really cool metal angel wings. I remembered seeing some made out of coffee filters similar to my wreath. I checked Pinterest and Sissie’s Shabby Cottage had one pinned. It used a Dollar Tree sink mat and you basically just cut the mat into the […]
Coffee filter Wreath
I’m sure you’ve seen these coffee filter wreaths all over blog land. So easy to make and inexpensive as well. I had a bunch of filters left over since switching to a Keurig, so this is a great way to use them up. I printed Gratitude directly on burlap and added it with twine […]
No sew burlap pillow
I had leftover fabric so I made a couple of pillows. Just hot glued inside out put in the pillow form and use jute to tie along the top. That way I can change out the covers if I want a different look. Someday I may actually sew! But I’m loving these for now! Happy […]
Burlap Curtains wine theme
I found this awesome wine themed burlap at Joann Fabrics and with a 50% off coupon it was $5 a yard. I thought this print would look great in my dining room where my little bar is set up. I wanted to be able to tie them up during the day and close them at […]
Pallet Board Art
As you know from my prior posts, I love making signs out of old wood. I scored a bunch of free pallet boards and wanted to make a large sign listing some of my favorite Cities that I have been blessed enough to visit. I can never thank my sister, Lori, enough for letting me […]
Paper Rose Terrarium
I have been working on Thanksgiving place settings and saw these cute wedding favor terrarium’s. I thought they would be perfect to sit at each place setting. I am personalizing each one with items that mean something to that person. This is for my sister and the yellow Rose means so much to my family […]
Deer Silhouette inspired by The Rustic Pig
I fell in love with the beautiful deer silhouette that www.TheRusticPig.com was kind enough to share with us. I followed her tutorial using an old dresser mirror. I did have to prime the mirror first and used 4 coats of chalkboard paint. I also used Annie Sloan paint on both the wood frame and deer.
Let Creativity Rule
I love Alex & Ani bracelets and a few months ago my friend, Cindy, (Simplystampingwithcindy) showed me her gorgeous bracelet with the saying “let creativity rule”. I fawned over it then decided to treat myself but when I went to buy it they no longer sell it. I guess it was a promotion, so […]
