10 Charming Chair Makeovers

July 31, 2013 By Meegan 6 Comments

I have had so much fun looking at chair makeovers recently. I am loving all of the colors, textures and creativity! It all inspires me and gets my creative juices flowing. I just love these 10 charming chair makeovers. I am sure you will, too.

One trend I noticed was yellow. Lots and lots of yellow out there. Not to mention the ever popular shades of blue.

Chairs are an easy makeover, whether it’s for the living room, dining room, or garden. They are fun to work with and let your creativity fly! You can just paint the legs, paint the fabric, or use paint on the whole chair even if it is fabric! You could recover with a bold print, make a slipcover, add a pillow or throw for an accent piece.

Are you ready to get this show on the road? Are you ready to get your creative juices flowing?? Well, let’s go see 10 charming chair makeovers…

Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe Makeover

July 25, 2013 By Meegan 6 Comments

[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!

Before I forget…Did you notice my new slide show at the top of this post? Fun, huh?? More new gadgets to make my blog reader friendly coming soon…

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.

He was the quarterback and called the plays. To tell you the truth, I am not too athletic. I have rhythm and can dance, but to catch or throw a football, that’s not me.

We were tied at 14-14.

And it was the last few minutes of the last quarter.

The play Hubby called was for me to catch the ball in the endzone. SO much pressure!!

I remember running towards the end zone, turning…

reaching both my arms straight out in front of me. Before I knew what happened, I caught the pass! I really caught the pass! Hubby ran up to me, giving me a high five, saying, I can’t believe you caught that! I threw that hard!” He hadn’t ever noticed me until then. But because of a football falling into my arms, he noticed me!! Crazy, I know!

Two 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.”

After 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.

Thanks for stopping by today.

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…

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.

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

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

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?
