DIY Dreamcatcher

Leave a comment

This might be my most favorite craft I have ever made! After I finished the video, I actually ended up adding more of the lace ribbon pieces, plus a couple of gold beads and feathers which you can see in the photos below. I really like the extra volume and texture they added. This dreamcatcher is going to fit in perfectly with my friend’s boho chic nursery decor.

Easiest Refinished Ikea Nightstand Ever!

Leave a comment

I think this is by far the easiest DIY that anyone could do. Really all you need is a little paint and a cork board! Watch the tutorial below for all the details.

Materials:

  • Spray Paint – The particleboard on these Ikea nightstands soaked up so much paint. I needed 3 bottles for each nightstand. I used Rust-Oleum Painters’ Touch Ultra Cover spray paint. It is primer and paint in one!
  • Cork board – I got a pre-painted one from Michaels but if you can’t find one, check out the my other post on how to create your own.
  • Adhesive Glue – E6000

Happy #DIYFriday!

DIY: Chevron Painted Desk

2 Comments

I have to be honest…things have been so incredibly busy lately that it didn’t leave me much time to prep for this tutorial. I pretty much did the design on the fly. I still think is turned out pretty badass though! Oh, did I mention that I used chalkboard paint so I can easily write down my to-do list right on my desktop!?! Just in case I happen to leave anything out, please feel free to ask questions in the comments below.

DIY Tissue Tassel Mobile for a Nursery

1 Comment

When I found out my very good friend Britany Simon (yes, the fabulous HGTV design star and killer interior designer) was expecting her first baby I knew that the nursery was going to be nothing but stellar. I saw this idea to use the tissue tassels as a mobile and asked Brit if I could use my DIY skills to make one for her little girl’s room, she happily agreed! The bold colors and pop of metallic (you wouldn’t expect anything less from a Britany Simon design) adds the perfect amount of glam & drama for the centerpiece of the room. I just love the way it turned out!

Remember the very first tutorial video I made, the tissue tassel garland!?! You can use this same technique to make your very own mobile. Just in case you don’t want to do it yourself, I’m happy to do it for you! Check out the custom listing on my Etsy store.

Curb Appeal: How to Repaint a Front Door

1 Comment

After 2 years, I’m finally doing updates to the outside of my house. First up, repainting the front door a fire engine red. I’m usually not a fan of red, but I love this Benjamin Moore color called Ruby Red. I will admit it took me a few days (okay…maybe a few weeks) to get use to the color. My great-grandpa was a fire chief and my mom loved firemen, so this color brings back so many memories and puts a smile on my face every day I walk out the door.

The new color looks lovely, especially after you leave your keys in the front door overnight!
