DIY Pottery Pumpkins
Grab some cheap jack-o-lanterns, paint and baking soda and make them look high end in minutes! Watch this quick video for a visual how to! Paint the jack-o-lanterns. These are the colors I used! While the paint is still slightly wet, sprinkle some baking soda over the jack-o-lantern. I used a little sponge brush to blend it in. TADA!! That’s all!

Coastal Grandmother Finds From Walmart
Imagine stepping outside of your cedar shake covered home onto a dock that leads to the beach. You take a long stroll on the sand wearing your straw hat, white linen shorts and a beige long sleeves sweater. You come inside to prepare your special clam chowder recipe paired with fresh baked bread from the market. After dinner you snuggle up on your white sofa and read a book while enjoying a glass of wine or a warm cup of chamomile tea. You take pride in your hydrangeas and rose garden. You feel most comfortable in neutrals and you love good cooking. If this sounds fantastic to you, friend, you’ve…

5 Tips for Styling a Cabinet/Shelf
Basics of Cabinet I bought this cabinet at a local thrift store almost a year ago. I paid $350. It’s handmade and approximately 10 feet tall. It’s huge! Finally I painted it. I used the color Bellwood by Fusion Mineral Paint. It took two 16.9oz jars to complete this paint project. To protect the paint I added a coat of tough coat on top of the paint. This step basically made a hard shell over the paint to protect it. I was very impressed by this product! Next I changed out the hardware! Changing hardware on a piece can really make such a big impact! (Tip – to change out hardware, open…

Breakfast Nook Decor & Steps for Styling a Space
We finally decorated our breakfast nook, and I’ve been so excited to share it with you all! We designed this small yet charming room ourselves with dreamy picture windows and vaulted ceiling. One of my favorite things about the space is the sunlight that shines through, especially during the late afternoon and early evening. It’s the perfect spot to come together and eat! I’ve been excited to find the perfect artwork, so while on vacation, we stopped at a quaint antique shop in Mobile, AL and there I found the perfect pair of antique artwork for this space. From that moment on, it all came together! Below I’m listing the four steps I follow for decorating a space…

Painted Kitchen Cabinet
I had my brand new classic white kitchen cabinets painted. Call me crazy for painting brand new cabinets, but I LOVE them painted! Last year we remodeled our over 100 year old home. There were so many decisions to be made and a tight timeline so I picked a safe option. Classic white. Over the past twelve months I’ve tried to add warmth to our kitchen in several ways. Finally, I decided to do the CRAZY and paint the brand. new. cabinets. This was not a DIY.. Let me be clear, this was not a DIY for us. I read lots of reviews until I found a local painter with…

Peel & Stick Tile
I’ll start by saying this was my husband’s idea! He said, “we should order some peel and stick tile and do a backsplash for our tub/shower.” Of course I loved that idea!! I jumped online and ordered this tile . No doubt, it definitely is BEAUTIFUL! However, my husband pictured using 12″x12″ vinyl tile. The tile I ordered is a few steps up from that! It looks and feels like a mosaic tile. It’s GORGEOUS stone-like peel and stick tile! But it’s a little more work than what my husband meant when he said peel and stick tile. Let’s be clear – 100% WORTH IT! The tile comes in sheets with a backing…

Add Texture to Any Wall Quick and Easy
Looking for a quick way to add amazing texture to a wall? Read this!! We took pole wrap from Home Depot (linked here) and nailed it to a wall in our small bathroom.

This 1 hour DIY really elevated this little bathroom! I’m already wanting to do this DIY again somewhere else in our home! It was a little long for our walls, so we trimmed a little off each panel so it would fit our wall. We used…
