Window Treatment Ideas That Are Budget Friendly
Window Treatment Ideas Window treatment ideas that won't break the bank. Yeah, window treatments can be extremely expensive. And you all know that I'm cheap, frugal, whichever word you'd like to use. Bottom line is I love saving money. And I'm betting that you do too! There are somethings I spend a little more money on, like my skincare, and my makeup. Yeah, getting older will do that to you. Gone are my days of using anything on my skin. But when it comes to decorating my home I know that I don't need lots of money to decorate my home. And neither do you. Since I like changing things around often in my home, I really don't like spending a ton of money on a window treatment, or the hardware used to hang them. Here are a few of my favorite window treatment ideas. ( This post ... View Post
Creating Brushed Metal Patina
Creating Brushed Metal Patina Several years ago, I decided to give our laundry room a little update. One of the issues I had with our laundry room that also serves as our mud room, is that it lacked storage. Especially for our coats and shoes. I found this set of lockers for 20.00 at a resale shop a few towns over from our home. They were pretty gross, so I gave them a coat of paint. At the time I went with a blue color that worked into my theme at that time.

Simple Modern Art Project
Modern Art Project Have you seen those gold polka dots? They seem to be popping up everywhere, no pun intended. I've been seeing these for several months, maybe a year in fact and I've become smitten with them. This modern art is a little out of my style, but nonetheless, I've been drawn to anything that has those gold polka dots. Before I go on, let me share where I was inspired by this project. My family and I were on a little road trip to Saugatuck Michigan. And while browsing in a store I came across a sweet little sign that said "Work Hard, Stay Humble, Be Kind". I don't know why that little sign inspired me but it totally did! It wasn't gold, and didn't have polka dots.

Decoupage A Kitchen Stool
Decoupage A Kitchen Stool Well after three years of the same old look on my kitchen stools, I decided to make a change to the look of my kitchen stools and decoupage them. Before I decided that I wanted to decoupage them I had a few ideas in mind. One idea was to add glitter to the tops of the stools, sort of like the old 1950's dinner look. You know me and my bling. I've seen that done by mixing decoupage glue and glitter and the results are fabulous! But as I was getting ready to do that I had a light bulb moment. I seriously did, and this is how my brain works. And the thought process....what if I took tissue paper and decoupage it to the stool. Bingo, I think we have a winner! Well, guess what, that's what I'm going to share today. How to decoupage a leather stool. (This post ... View Post

I guess you just never know what I'll do once I get my hands on a piece. I think I've shared some of my crazy ideas, like the day I decided to break some of my pretty vintage dishes and add them to my counters as a mosaic. Now that was a crazy idea.
