These are some of my own table makeovers along with a few from my blogger friends. Each one is unique with detailed tutorials.
It was super easy with my own recipe for homemade chalky paint.
It was a crazy busy and fun year. With packing, moving, unpacking and re configuring a new (to me) cottage apartment in the desert, family vacations, traveling and then the Christmas season my year was jam packed.
My brain and creativity are already moving full force with fresh, new and clean ideas. Not only home decor, but for design, keeping myself healthy and working on goals for a better lifestyle. I will be telling you more about that soon.
For now let’s look at the Top Ten Seasonal DIY Craft and Decor Ideas for you, your home and family.
Even though the cottage back porch is small, with just a few thrifted finds and ingenuity I was able to Create an Inviting Back Porch.
It’s just a few easy steps and anyone can do it.
Reaching into my refrigerator, I pulled out fresh fruits and vegetables to start this new look in my cottage apartment.
It’s always a treat when I can find a piece of furniture at a steal of a deal. It makes my heart skip a beat, without a doubt. Especially when I can spy something in the dumpster! I know, I am THAT person. You can read about how I found this amazing chair (pictured below) here.
I am excited to share them with you. And I am also looking forward to hearing about what keeps you peaceful, too. As you are reading, keep in mind the things or activities that give you comfort, too.
I like this time of month because I get to be a part of the At Home DIY Challenges. We have a theme every 15th of the month and share our best DIY projects related to the theme. This month is: “Make it Pretty Outdoor Challenge”
That is EXACTLY why I am tidying up our back porch and showing you my DIY projects for this space…
My talented blogging friends have created tutorials to help you with your DIY project dilemmas.
They are pretty incredible. So let’s get started.
I found a sparse wreath at an “after Christmas” sale a few years ago. I have been using it on our front door every Christmas ever since. I liked it because it had various pine needles, pine cones and berries. (I just love the touch of berries).
It’s simple and easy. PLUS, you can use what you already have. No reason in spending money when you don’t have to, right?

Are you having guests this Holiday season? Are they staying with YOU? Sometimes that can be stressful on top of everything else. BUT I have a few tips for Bedroom Preparations for Holiday Guests, that I think will help you.
Okay, let’s start a list of what YOU can do ahead of time as you start Bedroom Preparations For Holiday Guests.
I am excited, so let’s get started…
Hello everyone! It is so good to have you here. This week has been a little slow for me. But, I am doing well and happy to be here on my blog. Especially to show you my Vintage Mirror With Gold Tint.
I received this mirror shortly after my grandfather passed away. It hung in my grandparents bedroom along with their bedroom furniture as long as I can remember.
The frame of the mirror was a dull gold, coppery color. A little boring and “heavy” looking.
About 5 years ago, when I was trying to lighten up our small condo, I painted the frame of the mirror Turquoise Mist from Olympic Paint. It has been that way ever since.
Hello Hello! It is great to be with you today. As you remember, I spent 10 days in Washington D.C. with one of our daughters. She text me before I got there and said, “How would you like to recover my chairs while you are here?” I replied with a HUGE YES! You may have seen many chair makeovers on Pinterest, but I wanted to show you How to Recover a Dining Chair Seat, my easy and simple way.
We started out with 6 chairs, looking like this. Not bad, at all. The whole set was given to our daughter for free. The BEST price, right?
Having a family of 7, she wanted something durable. And not plastic.
Welcome to Themed Furniture Makeover Day! It’s that one time a month when several bloggers do a furniture makeover. It’s always fun to see the interpretation that each blogger takes.
This month’s theme is Pottery Barn Inspired. I thought this would be a pretty easy theme. But after perusing though PB online and their catalogs, I was a little stumped.
But this is the piece I wanted to mimic:
Their cost: $279
No, thank you.
