Fancy photo frames are such a great way to add impact to a room, but they can be rather expensive. We’re almost done with Bre’s room makeover and we’re down to the finishing touches, including finding ways to display all her photographs of her friends and family. Instead of spending big bucks on something trendy that will be out of style in a couple of years, we decided to make one. Add in a bit of chevron and some flowers and it screams teen girl. It’s an easy project, and I’ll show you how.

Since I am the mom of two lovely girls that have had lots of hair since birth, it seems that hair bows are everywhere. They reproduce like bunny rabbits! So, I wanted needed to come up with my own way to store these bows… or bow-bows as Lydia likes to call them. I made this, [...]

I found 2 metal vintage stools at a garage sale for only a few bucks, one had a back and one didn’t.
I unfortunately don’t have a place to use stools, so I knew I needed to repurpose them somehow.
I removed the black vinyl pads and the back support, then painted the stools an aqua color. To protect the paint and age them a little more I used a dark brown wax.
I made the table top from a piece of stock pine and distressed it to look like weathered barn wood, in my next post I’ll show the process I used.
The metal around the diameter of top is actually galvanized pipe strap, this can be found at any hardware store, then I used upholstery tacks to attach and fill in the holes on the strapping.
The stools already had holes in the top from the attached pads so I didn’t need to drill any holes to attach the tops to the stools.
It was an easy project, now I have the perfect sized side tables.

Adjusting to an empty nest isn’t always easy, especially during the holidays when fun traditions sort of just stop. I miss my nightgown-clad little girls searching for Easter baskets on Easter morning. And so, even though they are grown, until…

Old vintage windows are great, usually only a few dollars at the flea market or even free like this one.
A friend was nice enough to give me 2 old windows because she knew I could use them for some project, thanks Linda!
This window frame actually had 6 window panes, but I didn’t want the individual panes,
so I just removed them (sorry I didn’t take a before pic).
I decoupaged the map to an 1/4 inch MDF board.
When I decoupage, I like to use either thinned down white glue or thinned down mod podge, and using a brayer will help smooth out any bubbles.
Picking out the map was the hardest part, I have about 20 Vintage Readers Digest Maps from Countries all over the world that I recently found at a garage sale.
I think I see more framed maps in my future.
A day with freezing rain isn’t my ideal spring day, but it is still officially winter. Spring. In like a lion, right? ::groan:: Fortunately, this dip-dyed {painted} paper mache Easter egg craft is a cheerful easy DIY project which aided in…
