DIY Decorative Branches for Home Décor

December 10, 2020 By Meegan Leave a Comment

While looking for a natural element to add to my Christmas decorating, there really wasn’t anything that I liked or wasn’t expensive. That’s when I decided to DIY Decorative Branches for Home Décor, with my own components.

This took very little time and the results are just what this area needed.

Free Watercolor Spring Printables

March 11, 2020 By Meegan 11 Comments

The weather is warming up, finally! Most days I am swimming in the pool with the warmth of the sun. The wind is still cool, but I am longing for Spring. AND I am ready to bring pretty watercolors into my decorating. I designed Free Watercolor Spring Printables to get started.

It’s an amazing day! Carrie from Lovely, etc… is hosting a Printables Blog Hop. I am joining my ever talented blog friends as they share their own free Spring printables, too. You will find ALL of their links to those printables at the bottom of this post.

Since moving into this cottage apartment a year ago, my eye has been drawn to blush pink and navy blue for decorating.

15+ Painting Projects YOU Can Do with Christy

January 4, 2014 By Meegan 2 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’6144′]

Today we have a special treat with Christy from Our Southern Home!!  She has put together a round up of 15+ Furniture Painting Projects YOU Can Do.  I am so happy to share it with YOU today!  Take it away Christy…

I hope you have all been having a wonderful holiday season!

I am so enjoying a little break and spending time with my family just hanging out!

I am excited for the new year and beginning new projects in our home. Painting furniture and accessories is such a wonderful way to give new life to items that you are maybe not so excited about anymore. Or maybe you found that great side table at a yard sale, and you just need some inspiration! Enjoy and be inspired by 15+ Awesome Furniture Painting Projects You Can Do!

15+ Furniture Painting Projects You Can Do via Our Southern Home #chalkpaint #furniturepainting #thrifty

Here are 15+ Amazing Furniture Painting Projects!

grain-sack-desk

Let’s get started with one of my projects. My mom bought me this antique desk in really bad shape at a yard sale for $15. I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to revive it for my teen son’s room. You can find the complete how-to HERE from Our Southern Home.

Dresser- Emperors Silk-collage

Emperor’s Silk Dresser with dark wax by Sonya from At Home with the Barkers creates a striking piece!

Brush stroke free finish

I know we are all interested in Dria’s post on How To Achieve a Brush Strokes Free Finish from Dio Home Improvements. Thanks, Dria!

Vintage Dresser

Lani from Simply Fresh Vintage has a tip involving White-Out that she used on this dresser! Why didn’t I think of it?!

20130902-180349.jpg

Paint and Mod-Podge rescue this Goodwill table from Jeanette over at Snazzy Little Things. 

Painting a Laminate Dining Table Emerald and Gold - Rappsody in Rooms

Yes, you can paint laminate! Megan from Rappsody in Rooms shares the how to! Her entire porch is full of thrifty do it yourself ideas!

Ballard Design Inspired Shutter Gray Hutch

Gorgeous redo from Beth over at Farm Fresh Vintage Finds! You won’t believe the before! Removing a few lower panels and replacing with bead board really updates this stunner!

white wash furniture details on a turquoise chest

Beautiful piece from Petticoat Junktion. Kathy is fearless in her creativity! She is always generous in sharing her techniques with readers.

Dining Table Makeover

Are you sitting down? This dining set was $85! Visit Christy from Confessions of a Serial Do It Yourselfer for the details! The transformation is amazing!

Racing Stripes Dresser Update by Just a Girl and Her Blog

You can even update a piece with just stripes from Just a Girl and Her Blog! Abby adds grain sack stripes to an already painted chest for a quick update! Stripes are hot right now!

furniture makeover

Chateau Grey is my absolute favorite Annie Sloan Chalk paint color. Sharon from Mrs. Hines Class painted this old dresser, and it is now used as a media cabinet! Where is the “Love” button? 

Check out this whimsical beauty by Amanda from Mommy is Coo Coo. The fabric and color choice are such fun!!! I have a major crush on this chair!

Antique Sideboard Makeover - Chalk Paint-Graphics

Nancy from Artsy Chicks Rule is such a talented furniture painter and artist. She makes adding topography to furniture look so easy. Guess what…it really is! Visit Nancy for all the details!

Trash to Treasure Dresser Reveal by virginiasweetpea.com

Beautifully painted furniture doesn’t have to just be painted in chalky paint brands. This is lovely finished in gloss from Lowe’s! Visit Paula from Sweet Pea for the color and details!

Loving this retro table.  Jen from Girl in the Garage has awesome tips for painting geometric designs on furniture! She does lots of furniture so be sure to click around on her blog!

 

This piece by Pamela From My Front Porch To Yours shows that you shouldn’t look over a badly damaged piece. This water damaged secretary is painted with not one, but two chalk paint colors. The inside is left stained! 

Vintage Chair Makeover2.jpg

Serena from Thrift Diving has an amazing twofer (is that a real word?) for you! Not only will she share with you the paint project, but shares how to reupholster this chair in detail!

Last, but not least by any means is Julie from Lilacs and Longhorns. She transformed this Craig’s List find with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint AND added bun feet. Visit for the how-to.

I  encourage you to look around your home. Is there something that you are just bored with? Why not try your hand at paint! Scared or nervous? Practice on a yard sale or thrift store find first. You can even practice on scrap wood! 

I’d love for you to pin the individual projects…just visit the individual blogs from the links and pin directly from their project. It will make it much easier for you and others to find it down the road.
