Martha Stewart Paintable Clings

February 5, 2013 By Meegan 10 Comments

Last week I told you about a box I received new product from the Martha Stewart glass painting program. I decided to use and decorate the Martha Stewart Printable Clings. I am so excited to get started and share them with you!

Clings are for decorative purposes only, and are not dishwasher safe. Wipe with damp cloth to clean.

Clings should be stored on the backer sheet when not in use.

Printable Clings can be applied to any nonporous glass or ceramic surface.

I chose to make:

a decorative clear glass plate using the Silver Bordered Paintable Clings… and I couldn’t resist using:

The Black Bordered Clings, too!!

I started by picking out the Martha Stewart Glass Paint colors that went best in my home:

Blue Sky, Key Lime, Red Coral, Kelp, Raincoat, and Monarch Orange for my clear decorative plate.

I began painting. Super Easy and fun to be creative!!

Using the tip of the bottle, I worked in sections to fill each area completely. Glass paint brushes are helpful when painting in small, intricate areas of the clings.

Before I added my clings:

I washed my plate with soap and water. Dried it off, then using rubbing alcohol I cleaned off any leftover residue.

Once the paint was dried completely I was able to add the clings to my plate!!

Now for the fun!! I placed the design to the surface of the plate, pressing gently to smooth it.

I just used my imagination as I added the clings. Cute cute cute!! I can’t belive that I made this!!

Cool thing about these Paintable Clings: If you don’t like the positioning of where you placed them-you can move them!! As a matter of fact-if you decide you want to use them seasonally, you can take them off and save them for next year!!

I had so much fun I made a cute flower pot to match using the Black Bordered Clings:

Using the same colors, I decorated this flower pot for Spring. The Black Bordered Clings Kit has butterflies, dragon flies, and, a floral selection. How cute is this?? Just love me this dragon fly!!

Everything I made looks professionally made, and the products were very easy to use. I was impressed!

These Martha Stewart products can be found at Michaels.

Thanks for stopping by today and letting me share my Martha Stewart Paintable Clings!!

Make it a terrific Tuesday!!

Field Trip Friday with Redhead Can Decorate

September 13, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′]

Welcome to Field Trip Friday with Redhead Can Decorate!

I can hardly wait for you to read this post from one of my all-time favorite bloggers. Julie is talented, creative, and her blog is filled to the brim with personality and spunk-just like Julie!! So, with out any further adieu…Here is Julie…

I’m Julie, the redhead from redheadcandecorate.com.

I blog about how my husband and I “DIY” decorate our home & cook for our family.

We live in Michigan and we have 2 girls and a new kitty.

This photo was taken at Niagara Falls. We are both originally from NY.

Ever been?

Speaking of which…

Who doesn’t love a good field trip?

Remember the days when your class would all hop on the yellow bus for a day at the zoo, or aquarium?

That was the best.

Now a days I mostly just get to chaperone the field trips, until now :)

I am so excited to have you all over.

Come on in Meegan, I will show you around.

Maybe some of your followers can try one of our ideas.

Here’s our most recent project:

Winter Beach Lodge Living Room

My husband, Richard, and I, transformed our dark living room by selling our sectional on Craig’s List, updating the furniture, painting, and adding some inexpensive custom trim to the walls to open the space.

I also integrated several DIY decorating ideas into the space such as:

Thrift Store Lamp Makeover

Illuminated Photo Door

We also used a dead elm stump from our yard to make an end table.

This was really easy, and almost free.

Just had to buy a can of polyurethane.

Stump End Table

Here’s a couple more makeovers we’ve completed through out our home.

Saving $ and creating a comfortable, updated look is always the focus.

DIY Kitchen Makeover

DIY White Master Bedroom Makeover

Painted Rug

I also enjoy crafts:

Photo Lantern

(that’s my Mom & Dad on there!)

DIY Ball Jar Hand Soap Dispenser

These make great gifts.

Black Ice Skates for Outdoor Winter Decor

Score!

There’s always something cooking at Red’s.

Here’s a surprisingly easy dish:

Shrimp & Sausage Boil

Or if you are a pasta lover, here’s a quick one:

Linguini & Clams

Maybe you are a meat lover like my hubby?

This is my sister’s recipe, and she’s a redhead too.

BAKED Teriyaki Baby Back Ribs

Or…forget dinner, and just have a cookie instead.

These are good for you and my family LOVES them.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Is it time for a nappy yet?

Oh wait, I want to make sure I share this easy pie crust for apple pie season.

You actually make this crust in the pie plate and there is no rolling. It turns out perfect every time.

I use it with my Dutch Apple Pie.

I hope you enjoyed the tour.

I post every Friday, so I hope you will visit then too.

I’m on Facebook a lot, so that’s a great way to follow too.

Just click the towel bar :)

DIY Spring Refreshed Urn and Grow Your Google+ Circles

March 19, 2014 By Meegan 2 Comments

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! I flew home from Oregon last night. I have been gone from Hubby for 20 days! Whew! That’s such a long time, isn’t it? It has been the trip of a lifetime across the country and back then up to Oregon. I am truly blessed. Lots of pictures to come in the days ahead of all the sights and adventures from my trip.

But today, I am thrilled to share a simple, yet impacting change for Spring. My DIY Spring Refreshed Urn. Easy peasy and the cost??? Very little. Awesome! Let’s get started…

I found this lovely urn filled with flowers and grass for $5 on clearance at Wal-Mart years ago. SCORE! At the time I purchased it, it fit my style and taste. Now, I have tried fitting in every room in the house, only because I really haven’t found a home for it.

I finally decided to pull it apart and use the urn. I mean it’s a great urn, right? SO, I NEEDED to use it somehow. I think it already looks better.

Using a grapevine orb that I found thrifting for a dollar. I am able to change the whole look of my urn.

What a difference! Placing my “new” orb and urn with other thrifted and vintage components, I created a new, fresh look for spring.

Combining the candlesticks, wheat grass, vintage books tied with twine all sitting in a large wood tray is the exact look I was hoping for.

To finish things off I filled a wire basket with pine cones and the grass from the urn. So cool and great for a Spring look!

It’s funny how I can have something so long, tried using it in every room and FINALLY pulled it apart and found a home for it! I REALLY like when that happens. I was able to change the urn to fit my style, as my style as changed, too. Do YOU have something that you can do the same thing with??

Thanks for joining me today as I shared my Spring Refreshed Urn. It is always a joy for me to share things and I ideas that make me smile.

Make it a wonderful Wednesday!
