DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board

October 8, 2013 By Meegan 12 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′] Do you ever have one of those shopping days that just go your way??  I seem to have that a lot lately.  It is pretty fun, I must admit.  I found a bulletin board at Home Goods for 50% off.  Yahoo!  I thought it would be fun to paint her up and make her my own.  I am excited to share my new DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board with you today.

Using a plain bulletin board I painted, stenciled, and customized it just for us.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board Yep, this is how I found her.  Those red or orange tags catch my eye every time.  How about you??  Do you see those scratches at the top?

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board That is why this lovely bulletin board was half off.  And look at the awesome frame.  It wide and detailed.  Perfect for my taste.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board I started using flat white paint, then went over it loosely with Antique Gray from Ace Hardware.

Looking through my stencils, I found one that would be just the right touch for our office style.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board Taking my time to get the look I wanted, I stenciled using Antique Gray.  Looking good so far, right?

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board Once the paint was dry around the frame, I sanded the edges, for an aged and vintage feel.

Not only did I sand the frame, but I also sanded my stencils and the whole cork board.  It adds to the vintage and worn look.  Just what I was hoping for.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board I love this pattern and the look of my DIY Bulletin Board.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board Thanks Home Goods for the 50% off bulletin board that I now can call my own design.

This DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board is going to fit perfectly in our office.

Thank you for joining me today.  I truly love having you here with me each day.

Make it a terrific Tuesday.

My DIY Bling Pumpkin

September 21, 2013 By Meegan 18 Comments

As you know by now, I enjoy going to thrift stores and finding items and turning them into treasures.  I haven’t always done this.  It has just been within the last 2 years that I have started this new hobby or obsession. (hehe)  I am excited to show you my latest thrift find DIY bling pumpkin. I have been out shopping, really just looking to see the Fall and Halloween decor.  I love the feeling of Fall and all the glitter and bling that now adorn the decorations.

I bought this lovely for 75 cents.

My DIY Bling Pumpkin

I like her chippy look and texture.  But, after seeing all the bling and glitter, I thought, “Why not fix this pumpkin up and add a little bling?”

My DIY Bling Pumpkin

I started off by painted her white, using a flat wall paint.

My DIY Bling Pumpkin

I have these beautiful rhinestone sticker strips from David Tutera.  They are in the wedding accessory aisle at Michaels.

My DIY Bling Pumpkin

You know how much I love blue, so instead of green, I thought a blue stem would be the perfect touch.  The sticker strips are really easy to use.  Cut the size you need, peel off the back and you are set.

My DIY Bling Pumpkin

Once I had my stem ready, I was ready to add the orange bling.  I cut strips of 2 and 3 wide for variety.

And Voila!  A DIY Bling Pumpkin is just minutes.

My DIY Bling Pumpkin

For pennies, I now have my own version of bling pumpkin.  What do you think??  Doesn’t she look great??

I am happy to share my DIY Bling Pumpkin with you.  I love reading your comments and try to respond to everyone.
