a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
Board games are a pain to store- and really ugly too! I thought I’d put them into book boxes so that they look beautiful. This is a simple craft that would be perfect for a girl’s night and would make a great gift too! Here’s my tutorial on how to turn board games into display books- simple version.
My pantry is right off my kitchen under the stairs. I’m grateful for the storage space, but I’ll be honest- it’s become a big mess. Sure- I could declutter. But I want to create a new system and build some DIY pantry shelves so I can store everything in a beautiful and efficient way! Here’s the before-
This is how the shelves looked like when we bought the house. They were fine, but because they didn’t go to the ground, that area became a catch-all for clutter.
The shelves weren’t a good height for our storage containers and I knew it could be better!
It’s almost Halloween! For my costume this year, I’m dressing up as a wedding cake and my son will be a baker! I love vintage looking cakes (I made fake cake jewelry boxes recently), so I figured this would be perfect! If this sounds like a fun costume too, I’ll show you how to make a DIY cake costume.
The Ikea Dollhouse is so affordable at $40. But it’s also really boring and plain. So I thought I’d try my best to make it cute! Ready to build miniature furniture and decorate a tiny house with me?! Let’s get going on this Ikea dollhouse hack!
I love taking the basic items from Ikea and making them over to be really special! So this week when I saw the IKEA Hemnes Nightstand on Facebook marketplace for $30, I bought it right away. I’ll be adding trim, painting, and switching out the top to make this piece really special. Let’s get started on this IKEA Hemnes nightstand hack!
If you have some old or thrifted picture frames, I have a DIY for you! I love the look of fabric wrapped frames and it’s actually easy to do. The result is a maximalist vibe with lots of patter, color, and personality. Here’s how to create DIY upholstered frames.
I have an outdoor dining table that had some cracking paint. I repaired the top and painted it with white latex outdoor paint. But it doesn’t clean well and always looks dirty. So I thought, might as well make a mosaic on the top! This would work great for an end table, coffee table, or a dining table like I’m doing. Plus tips for making a beginner DIY mosaic table.
I have wallpaper for almost every room in my house. They’re from a variety of sources so when someone asks where the wallpaper is from, it’s hard to give a concise answer. This blog post has sources for my house’s wallpaper with pictures and links so it’s easy to find.
I have a beige love seat that’s been sitting in my craft room. We’ve had it at least 5 years and although I love the style of it, the color is so boring! So I bought $6 worth of dye and spent a day dyeing it. Best decision ever! If you want to change the color of a chair, loveseat, or sofa in your house too, here’s a tutorial on how to dye upholstery.
I’m definitely what you’d consider a beginner at stained glass. So I decided to make a really simple project- stained glass plant stakes! I saw some at the Magnolia Silos for $25 each and thought- hey! I can make those for much cheaper. So I thought I’d show how I’m making them here!
The inspiration- $25 stained glass plant stakes from Magnolia
