My Life as a DIY Wannabe
Sometimes while rummaging through the blogosphere I run across a certain project or Etsy shop that I just fall in love with. This week, Linen and Oak completely caught my eye while trying to find items to redecorate my {someday} craft room. What is Laura’s specialty? Handcrafted pillow covers! OK, ready to take a sneak [...]
Flowered and sequined headbands are all the rage these days. I would love to have my own little collection but it’s hard when I’m broke. HA! So, I’ve decided to go ahead and make my own. Pretty cute, huh? Here’s how I made them… for under $3 each! So I first got the idea for [...]
Here again are a couple of my favorite projects I found while flipping through the DIY blog websites. These people have totally inspired me and want me to get out my paint brush (or sewing machine, oven mitt, and anything else crafty)! First up are these adorable back to school charts from The 36th Avenue! [...]
I’ve been wanting to experiment with vinyl stickers as a stencil for some time, so when I found this little round end table at a local flea market for $10 I thought this would be the perfect project! So here’s the before… and after! Here’s how I completed the transformation! Once I got the table [...]
This past week I found this cool new product perfect for my little girl that I just had to share! Pocket Change is the cutest new fashion accessory for your little lady! You can add glitz and glam to your kiddo’s pockets on jeans, shorts, pants or skirts, with fun clip-on pocket patches that expresses [...]
While on Pinterest the other day, I ran across some super cute color-coded chore sticks from Embellish. Loved the idea, but my daughter is only three and can’t help out too much around the house. So, I decided to alter the idea a bit and help cure boredom! Here’s my Rainy Daze activity sticks! So [...]
I missed out on posting my favorite projects last week since I was in the middle of a tropical storm in Mexico, so I’m hoping I made up for time loss with these goodies! Here again are a couple of my favorite projects I found while flipping through the DIY blog websites. These people have [...]
So a couple of weeks ago my brother and sister-in-law asked if I could help transform their bedroom furniture. As newlyweds often do, they each brought a couple of pieces from their old bedroom sets into their new life together. My task: to paint the dresser, mirror and one nightstand black to match their other [...]
I really hadn’t planned on crafting anything last night, but while I was at Michael’s yesterday I spotted some plain flip flops for $2 a pair. My kiddo just happened to break her white sandals on Saturday, but it’s getting towards the end of summer and I don’t want to spend a lot on a [...]
Whelp, I got home from Rivera Maya late on Friday night and decided it was time to actually do something to our extra room down the hall (which is currently the extra bedroom/daughter’s playroom/storage room). I kinda just looked around, felt I needed a change, and ripped down all of the wallpaper…right there, on the [...]
