Hey there. I am so excited to share this DIY with you today. I had this idea in my head for awhile and I am SO happy with how it turned out. I find so much joy in playing with flowers/stems and creating something beautiful from what God has provided. I wanted a Statement piece for Fall above our bed and I wanted to make it as cost effective as possible. This whole project was under $20 and I could have made it for under $10 but I purchased and used extra filler which I will show you shortly. ...
DIY Fluted Side Table
It all started with this West Elm side table that I just couldn't stop thinking about. I pretty much fell in love with it and knew I needed something like this in my home. It was more than I would normally spend for a small side table and I really wanted two so I decided to try and figure out how to make something similar. Supplies: 4' X 12" Concrete Form cut in half 13 8' half round pine trim pieces cut down to 2' Liquid Nails Strap/ bungee to secure ends of table while ...
DIY Avocado Dye
I have been looking for a blush pink linen for quite sometime but with COVID it has made ordering anything pretty difficult. A lot of things are out of stock and shipping times are months out. So, I decided to dye my own linen using Avocados. Avocados turn fabric pink? Sounds ridiculous right? But it works! The end product is a stunning pink that I couldn't have purchased plus my teenage daughter and I had fun doing it together - double win! Supplies you will need: Pre washed white ...
DIY plaster pottery
I have been trying to get my hands on some affordable Vintage pottery for a little while now and have had NO such luck. I was not about to spend several hundred dollars on a beautiful piece of Art that my children could very easily break during one of their wrestling matches or their other shenanigans. So I decided to DIY my own. I have used Plaster of Paris for numerous things over the years and felt confident that it would be the best things to use for my DIY pottery. I picked up this urn ...
DIY Stenciled Porch
Our DIY stenciled Patio is finally finished. After starting this project 6+ weeks ago, this is a big accomplishment to my summer project list. From start to finish I would say that I could have got it done in two days. This allows for two base coats of White paint with dry time in-between and then the time to stencil. I had painted and stenciled our porch before (this is the third summer) and it has held up great. I didn't seal it, it is not a covered porch and we live in Michigan so we have ...
Color Block Accent Wall
I had so much fun adding this color blocked wall in our entryway. It all started with this art print from Juniper Print Shop (here). I knew I needed to add something to this space to tie everything together and decided that a color block would be the perfect thing for this space. Here is the before. The great thing about painting anything is it's SO easy to quickly sand and repaint if you end up not loving it after awhile. First I picked out a color for the color block arch. I ...
