DIY Shell Art

Hello Hello!!  Don’t you just love a Tuesday?  I sure do!  I am finally awake after my sluggish Monday, and ready to tackle the week.  I am really excited to share my DIY Shell Art with you today.

A few weeks ago I shared my Beach Inspired Memory Jar.  You know I love any kind of shell, sand or any item that reminds me of my favorite place to be, right?

I am also working on making some areas in our home a little more masculine, so Hubby feels like he lives here, too.  This is a project that accomplishes both of our wants and likes.

Stenciled & Framed Book Page Quote

July 9, 2013 By Meegan 8 Comments

A few weeks ago Hubby was talking to his buddies at work.  They were commenting how they each have a “man cave”.  Then my husband popped up and said, “I don’t think I have a space in my house.”  I was already thinking about this, and feeling pretty guilty.  I have so much fun decorating our home, I really did forget to add his touch to our home.  I thought a great place to start would be our bedroom.  You know how much I love to work with book pages, so I made a Stenciled & Framed Book Page Quote for above our bed.

This quote, “I’m Glad you caught that pass”  has special meaning to us.  When we met the first time, we were playing football with a bunch of mutual friends out on a grassy area.  Hubby and I were on the same team.

Stenciled & Framed Book Page QuoteWe were tied at 14-14.

Stenciled & Framed Book Page QuoteThe play Hubby called was for me to catch the ball in the endzone.  SO much pressure!!

I remember running towards the end zone, turning…

Stenciled & Framed Book Page QuoteTwo weeks later we went on our first date.  At the end of the evening he said, “I’m glad you caught that pass.”

After our 3rd date, he finally kissed me, and again, he said,”I’m glad you caught that pass.”

Stenciled & Framed Book Page QuoteAfter we were married driving to our reception, he said,”I sure am glad you caught that pass!”

So to add a little of Hubby to our room, I made this Stenciled & Framed Book Page Quote.  Needless to say, he was so happy to see it hanging in our room.  By no means does this make our room a “man cave”, but it IS “us”, not just me.

I am also working on a few other ideas to bring his favorite color into our space.  I will be sharing that with you, too.

What is a favorite quote or saying that you could add the make your space more personalized?  Do you have a story that needs to be told and shared in your home?   I would love for you to tell me.

DIY Glitter Phone Cover

July 2, 2013 By Meegan 3 Comments

I am always looking for a fun phone case.  Something a little different than everyone else.  So, I made my own DIY glitter phone case.  And, it is SO VERY EASY!!  I mean, easy peasy!

I made mine while I was in Oregon and neglected to take pictures of the process, so I have recreated my steps here at home.  Enjoy…

DIY Glitter Phone Cover

You can use any type of phone case.  The softer cases work the best.

I cleaned my case off with a disinfectant wipe the get all the dirt & residue off.  This way the glitter will adhere better.

DIY Glitter Phone Cover

You will need mod podge, glitter, and a brush.  (I made my own mod podge-1/3 water/2/3 Elmer’s Glue)

DIY Glitter Phone Cover

Make a mixture of 1/2 mod podge and 1/2 glitter.

DIY Glitter Phone Cover

Begin with one layer of this mixture.  Let it almost dry.  Do this process 2 more times.

Your 3rd layer will look like this when wet. As you brush the glitter on, make sure the glitter isn’t clumped and piled.  Try to make it as smooth as possible.

Let it dry until it isn’t sticky to the touch.

When it’s completely dry you will have a beautiful, glitter phone cover in no time at all!!

Questions:

1. Is it sticky after it dries?  No, it is very smooth.

2. Does the glitter fall or peel off?  Occasionally, I will see a spec of glitter on my screen.  But, that’s all.  It will peel if you peel it off, but it is adhered solidly.

3. Can I ever take it off?  Of course.  Using a very wet paper towel moisten the glitter and mod podge.  It will gradually be loose enough to scrape and peel off.

I hope you have enjoyed this simple idea for a DIY Glitter Phone Case.  It was a fun project for me for sure!!  What color are you going to choose for your DIY Glitter Phone Case?

DIY Pottery Barn Knock Off Net Ceramic Vase

June 18, 2013 By Meegan 32 Comments

Good Morning. It’s a beautiful day and I am excited to share a DIY Pottery Barn Knock Off Net Ceramic Vase.  While I was in Oregon visiting our daughter, she had a brain storm of an idea.  She loves browsing through the Pottery Barn catalogs, and she came across a Net Ceramic Stool for $179.  She loved the look, but not the price.

Her solution to that was this:

Let me show you how she did it…
