Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe Makeover

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′]

Hello! Remember when I told you about trying to bringing a more masculine feel without losing my taste? That’s what I did with this bathroom tray beach stripe makeover.

I do want to make it clear this has not been Hubby’s idea at all. It is all from me. Hubby loves when he comes home from work and there is something changed or moved around. He NEVER complains. This new look is all my idea.

Let’s get to it…

My cute friend, Lynn saw this tray and thought of me. Naturally, because it’s blue. It is perfect size for our master bathroom counter. But I am changing the colors and style a little in there.

So I got out some paint and got to work.

Using a flat white paint, I dry brushed the whole tray. I liked that the blue is peeking through. It looks like more layers of paint, and aged.

Over that I painted various sizes of stripes with Valspar Antique Coral. (I chose a coral color, because Hubby loves orange. This helps bring his taste into our home.) Again, I used a dry brush with little paint. This gives a worn look. Just what I was hoping for.

I decided to even paint a narrow stripe around the side. Each stripe was painted freehanded.

My “new” tray looks great holding our q-tips and cotton in woven baskets (with blue stripes), along with my air plant terrarium made by my friend, Sherry.

I had so much fun with this Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe Makeover. Bringing a new look and style just takes a little imagination and sometimes a little paint.

What are you going to makeover soon? I would love to hear about it!

Easy Housewarming Gift

May 22, 2013 By Meegan 3 Comments

Hello my friends!! Happy Wednesday!! And Happy Housewarming!!

I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of friends who are moving. It is sad to see a friend move. And I don’t like good-byes. But I do like to give them house warming gifts. Nothing fancy, and not necessary, but easy and fun.

This is a sample of what we gave to our kids right after Christmas. They were moving into an apartment, sight unseen. I thought they might want to clean up after it was cleaned. Make sense?? I like to have my own type of clean-not someone else’s. (I know, a little OCD.)

I found a basket and filled it with cleaning items such as:

disinfectant wipes

bleach spray

liquid dish soap

glass cleaner

sponges

magic erasers

recipe cards

and a scented candle

Since it is their first home I thought it would be nice to also give them their first Nativity and a Christmas ornament.

Nothing fancy, but fun for a new home. They told me they ended up using all of it. I was glad I made an easy housewarming gift for them.

I tied everything up with cellophane, tulle and ribbon. It looks makes cleaning look a little more fun that way, don’t you think?

I am sure you have a few ideas of your own. What would you put in your easy housewarming gift?

This easy housewarming gift is also great for a new college student.

I have been busy working on our dining set-it is going to be so fun to share it with you!! I can’t wait to finish it.

Thanks for stopping by today. I am off to finish the dining set…

I’ve Got The Monday Blues

April 22, 2013 By Meegan Leave a Comment

Hello Hello!! I’ve got the Monday Blues!! Even though I am visiting a new grand baby, the Monday blues hits me every time!! Every Monday I share the blues that catch my eye during the previous week.

Since I have so many relatively new followers, I thought it would be fun to share some of my have blues in our home.

First, one of the blues in our home is in the laundry closet I made this pair of mod-podge stenciled birdies just for the laundry area. Everytime I open the doors, these birds make me smile.

I am loving this blue lamp. My sweet friend bought me some blue paint and the first thing I wanted to do was to paint my lamp. She looks pretty with my DIY floral lampshade.

I like silhouettes, don’t you? These 3 frames were black until I got to them. They fit perfectly on the tiny wall in our office. (Yes, the silhouettes are our 7 kids as children)

This corsage is my favorite, because I love the ribbon color, and the scent of fresh flowers in our home while I am doing bridal flowers.

I get some many compliments on this wall. This is also in our office. I love empty frames, and decided to paint the frames blue to add to our decor.

I've got the Monday Blues

My blue birdcage looks amazing in our guest bathroom. When I received her as a gift from my father, I couldn’t help but add blue to her already beautifulness. I have tiny white lights in her all year long, so when we have guests they see my pretty blue birdcage.

I hope you have enjoyed the Monday Blues as much as I enjoyed sharing them with you today. Blue always make me smile and gives me such a calm and relaxing feeling.
