Ballard Designs Dupe – Look for Less Cushion

Ballard Designs Dupe – Look for Less Cushion

Hey there! Hope you are doing great! Today I have a fun Look for Less dupe from one of my favorite high end home decor stores, Ballard Designs. I just love everything about them, except their prices. They have such gorgeous decor and furniture, from tableware, to bedding, to wall art and even patio furniture.

One of the thing I came across were these pillow cushions. They come in 3 different colors and I love the pattern on them. At almost $60 each I just wasn’t going to pay for it so I thought I would recreate them myself.   

Also, stick to the end to see 2 more dupes from Ballard Designs that I also created for my YouTube channel.

I decided that the best tool for this would be my Cricut Maker 3. I have had a Cricut for over a year now and I absolutely love it! With Cricut Design Space I can easily create my own pattern to mimic the one from the original pillow cover. And then I repeated it to make 4 stripes. 

I did a total of 8 in order to make 2 cushions for my sectional.

Once I was happy with the sizing, making sure it would cover my cushion front, I sent it to my Cricut Maker 3 to cut and removed the excess vinyl.

Cricut has these cushion cover blanks that are perfect to add any pattern to. You can use these with iron on vinyl as well as infusible ink so they are super versatile. I like the bright white ones. 

Cricut Cushion Cover 1024x558 Ballard Designs Dupe   Look for Less Cushion

I laid out the pillow cushion cover and made sure to measure the spaces in between the vinyl so that they were all even. If you don’t have a  fabric measuring tape definitely get one. They are perfect for measuring projects like this (even if you don’t sew). 

Ballard Designs Dupe Look for Less Cushion 4 300x225 Ballard Designs Dupe   Look for Less Cushion

I used the Easy Press to set them onto the pillow cushion. When I do this I place my cushion on my Easy Press Mat and I also put a cardboard piece inside the cushion cover so none of the adhesive manages to seep through to the other side. 

I also use some parchment paper between the heat press and the pattern.

Once it has cooled a little bit I remove the clear plastic. And that is all there is to it! 

Tip: If you want to make sure everything is set, you can always put the parchment paper back on after you removed the plastic and use the Heat Press for a few seconds. Just press it lightly all over to make sure everything is on there securely. But make to not put the heat press directly on the vinyl.

I love how they turned out. And while the pattern is a little larger than the original, it still captures the aesthetic and the color is almost identical.

This is how I did as far as savings. For two original cushions I would have spent $118 at Ballard Designs. But by making them myself I only spent $36 and that includes the price of the vinyl and cushions for both.

I am always excited when I get to make something custom for my home and even more so when I get a professional finish that mimics that of a high end store.

Thrifted Seed Box Makeover

Thrifted Seed Box Makeover

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Hello friends! Today I am back with another thrifted makeover. And this time I am using items I have never used before. I purchased this cute little box at a thrift store in South Carolina a couple of months ago and I finally got a chance to make it over. 

It cost me $8 and it was actually a recipe box, however, since I plan on doing gardening in the near future I wanted a place to store my seeds. And this was the perfect size, plus the drawer had compartments! 

Thrifted Seed Box Makeover 1 300x225 Thrifted Seed Box Makeover

I cleaned it up and used DIY Paint in the color White Swan (and the good news is my shop is almost ready so I can start selling these paints!). 

DIY Paint is a highly pigmented clay based paint that is made with all natural ingredients. It dries very much like chalk paint and covers any surface with ease! 

RELATED: THRIFTED TRAY MAKEOVER

Thrifted Seed Box Makeover 2 300x225 Thrifted Seed Box Makeover

I had to give this a couple of coats since the stripes were pretty hard to cover up. But the paint did the job nicely!

Thrifted Seed Box Makeover 3 300x225 Thrifted Seed Box Makeover

Once the box was completely dry, I used some of Iron Orchid Design Transfers.

IOD sent me a fun package of some of their products to try out and I had so much fun using these transfers on this little box. I used one of their rose transfers.

Plus, I figured it was appropriate since this was after all going to be for seeds.  

Thrifted Seed Box Makeover 4 300x225 Thrifted Seed Box Makeover

These transfers come in several sheets and all you do is cut out the ones you want and lay them on your desired surface. You then use the little plastic spatula they supply to rub them on and then you just pull off the clear plastic! How easy is that!? 

Thrifted Seed Box Makeover 5 300x225 Thrifted Seed Box Makeover

After I was done placing my transfers I decided I would use some Rub n Buff on the feet and drawer pull. Rub N Buff is great for touches like this. It is highly pigmented – one coat and you’re done! I used the Antique Gold one for this project. 

Then I sealed everything with DIY Paint’s clear wax. I let it dry over night and then I buffed it the next day. After that I was done!

This little box is just perfect!

All of them fit so nicely and it is so great to store them in such a cute box instead of a plastic bin.

The little floral knob it came with look so much better in gold and it pairs so nicely with the transfers. 

Thrifted Seed Box Makeover 8 300x225 Thrifted Seed Box Makeover

The best thing is I don’t even have to put this box away. It can stay out and be a part of the decor. And it’s perfect for Spring!

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Hey there! It has been a little while since I have posted and I am here to make it up! Today’s post has been a couple of years in the making. We have finally finished our guest bathroom! This bathroom has actually not been operational since we moved in… 2.5 years ago. 

Crazy, I know. 

This has been one of the reasons we only have my parents over at the house, LOL! No guest bath means no guests. During this time we just used the master bathroom or my daughter’s bathroom. This is technically my son’s bathroom that he would share with guests. 

This bathroom was a wreck when we moved in. 

Guest Bathroom Before 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

Besides the broken counter, this is what the bathroom looked like when we purchased the house. The hubby got a little excited with the demo before I took before pics.

It was dingy, dirty, smelly and sticky. 

I sure as heck did not want to use it and I sure didn’t want anyone to see it. 

Guest Bathroom Before 7 200x300 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

The finishes and fixtures were extremely dated. Of course this wasn’t news to us, we knew we were purchasing a fixer upper. We just didn’t realize that because of time and funds, it would take us a lot longer to complete. 

The lights to the bathroom were a part of the medicine cabinet and mirror.

Guest Bathroom Before 5 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

The toilet area was extremely tight and uncomfortable for my husband to even sit on. His arm literally ran into the side of the sink cabinet. He was not having that. 

Guest Bathroom Before 4 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

The floor was nothing special, just outdated linoleum. It was very dirty and stinky. 

Guest Bathroom Before 3 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

The bathtub was a fiberglass insert in an almond color. It was in decent condition for what it was, but I knew I didn’t want to keep it. 

Guest Bathroom Before 2 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

So I drew up what I had planned for this bathroom. I wanted it to be a show piece since after all everyone was going to see it. We planned on doing everything ourselves too (with the exception of connecting the tub to the plumbing – we left that to the professionals). 

RELATED: HOW TO MAKE A MOOD BOARD

2 300x169 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

This was my initial design and even though a few things changed after I had originally designed this mood board, the overall look and feel remained the same. The bathroom was a beast to tackle and we learned so much since there were so many design aspects that we had never done before… like we will use a cast iron tub instead of a fiberglass tub in the future. 

We documented the entire process on video since it was just so much. You can watch it all go down below!


Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover


Here is how the bathroom looks now.

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 5 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

One of the things you can see right away that we changed from the mood board was the tile. We ended up going with a hexagonal gray tile on the floor. 

We had previously used the mosaic tile in our pantry makeover and since living with it we just didn’t like how it was a little difficult to clean so we decided to use something else. 

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 7 200x300 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

My husband removed the old tub himself and he installed all of the tile as well as the new fixtures. I just love the contrast of black on that white tile. 
Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 8 200x300 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

The toilet we installed was given to us by Gerber who we partnered with for the video. This toilet had a slender tank, elongated seat which pushed the seating forward and it had a nice decorative detail at the base. Such an improvement from the one originally that was there. It’s much for comfortable to sit on it!

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 3 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

The sink cabinet was a DIY. We purchased the sink at Lowes and the cabinet at a builder’s surplus store. The faucet was also from Gerber and it’s a bathroom version of the one we installed in our kitchen.  And the countertop was a leftover piece of butcher block that we used from an old table we had dismantled to help build our kitchen island. 

The cabinet pulls were from Hobby Lobby and I got them for $2.50 each on sale! 

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 4 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

I love the color of the bead board alongside the white and the wood. 

 

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 6 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

I also love the vessel sink we chose. It’s a nice rectangular shape but it was still compact enough that it fit the smaller vanity. 

And the board and batten just takes the bathroom to another level. The stained top makes it unique since it’s not something we see every day and it ties to the countertop nicely. 

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 2 300x225 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

This was also the first time I painted the trim and door the same color and now I think I am addicted. I want to paint all the doors now! It makes a statement when you are inside looking at it and since the door is white on the other side, no one expects it.  

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 9 200x300 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

Of course I added a few details here and there and I had to include some of my previous DIYS, including my ruffled shower curtain. 

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 10 200x300 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

I am so happy with how this turned out and I hope you enjoyed it too! We are currently working on our first outdoor project and we will be tackling our daughter’s bathroom soon. 

Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover 7 200x300 Extreme DIY Bathroom Makeover

 

We definitely learned a lot during this renovation and will be adjusting a few things here and there for upcoming projects, but overall I think we did a really good and you would never guess this was all done by us. I am mostly proud that we went above and beyond to make it a custom bathroom and that in the end it doesn’t look builder grade.

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Hey friends! Hope you are doing well! Today I am excited because I have brought back the Look for Less Challenge and I cannot wait to share what I recreated.

This challenge has been a long time favorite on my channel and I have had to host it on and off for scheduling reasons, but I am bringing it back every other month this year. 

If you are not familiar with the Look for Less Challenge, it’s where I take items from a high end home decor store and recreate them for a whole lot less. But it’s not just me who tries to do this, I invite other YouTubers to the challenge as well. 

I create and entire playlist so that everyone has a chance to see what everyone came up with. It’s a lot of fun and it’s always great to see what everyone creates. 

Today I chose to recreate the Portland Bone Inlay Tray from Serena & Lily. It retails for a whopping $698.00! Ouch! That is a lot for something that is going to sit on a coffee table, but I guess there is a market for everything. 

Anyways, I LOVED it and I knew I just had to make my own. 


Screen Shot 2022 01 19 at 1.19.04 PM copy Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

I came across this tray at my local Goodwill for only $3.99. It was originally from Crate & Barrel (it still had the sticker on the bottom). 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe1 Serena & Lily Tray DupeIt was the perfect shape so I snagged it. I brought it home, cleaned it and sanded it down a bit. There were some chips in some areas and I wanted to smooth them out. I also wanted the paint to stick better since it was a really glossy finish. 

 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe2 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

Afterwards, I got some DIY Paint in Sandy Blonde and White Swan. I wanted to lighten up the Sandy Blonde to look more of a “bone” color. 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe3 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

Once I got the right color, I painted the entire tray with 2 coats. 

RELATED: Look for Less Pottery Barn Candleholders

Serena Lily Tray Dupe4 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

Next I went to Cricut Design Studio and made the pattern that was on the tray from scratch. This part was a lot fun!

Serena Lily Tray Dupe5 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

 

And, since I love this pattern so much, I also saved this as an SVG and saved it to my Free Printables Library. You can download it and use it on your own cutting machine if you wish to recreate this tray yourself! 

Just look for the icon in the library that looks like this:

Serena Lily Tray Dupe Pattern Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

So next it was time to add the stencil. One way I like to save money when using my Cricut is to save scraps of contact paper. I had some at home and used it for my stencil. It cuts just fine! 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe6 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

I applied the pattern all over the tray and I added tape to the areas I did not want painted blue. This was a little time consuming, but with a little music, murder mystery podcast or your favorite show on Netflix, it can be a little more enjoyable. 

Anyone else listen to true crime stories while they craft? No… Just me?…. Okay…

I mixed up some chalk paint that I had on hand to get that same blue from the original tray. Then, I started to use a stencil brush to apply the blue color, but I ended up using a regular one to make the process go a little faster. 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe7 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

After applying 2 coats of the custom blue chalk paint and letting it dry it was time to remove the stencil decals. 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe8 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

Another very time consuming job, but as I kept going and that pattern got larger so did my heart!

Gasp!

Serena Lily Tray Dupe9 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

It was looking gorgeous.

But as luck would have it, the contact paper removal didn’t go smoothly either. My weeding tool did remove some of the previous paint and I had to go back in and touch up certain areas, but it was worth it!

Serena Lily Tray Dupe10 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

I sealed the tray with DIY Paint clear wax and that was it! I love this tray! That pattern looks so stunning. 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe11 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

It’s the perfect addition to my coffee table especially for Spring. 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe12 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

It’s also pretty large so it will come in handy as well. 

Serena Lily Tray Dupe13 Serena & Lily Tray Dupe

So how did I do?

Because I have everything on hand EXCEPT the tray, all I spent was $4 on this dupe. Of course, there was a lot of man hours, sweat and maybe even some tears, but I am definitely happy I pulled through and finished it!

And you know what? There are 2 other Serena & Lily Dupes in the image below. Can you guess which ones?

Valentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

Valentines Wreath Valentines Day Wreath High End DupeValentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Hey there friends! Today I am bringing you another Valentine’s Day DIY. 

In order to keep in line with my theme from my last Valentine’s Day post where I shared I just want to make useful creations for my home that won’t clutter my space, I thought I would create a wreath that I could hang on my front door, but not “scream” Valentine’s Day only. 

I saw this wreath on Grandin Road and I thought it was darling! I liked how it was made of greenery and could be used longer than just for Valentine’s Day. However the price was a bit much so I decided to make one myself. 

green wreath Valentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

I could not find any heart shaped wire wreath forms at Dollar Tree this time around so I decided to use what I had on hand. I traced and cut out a large heart form from some poster board using my favorite box cutter. 

 

High End Valentines Wreath Dupe 2 Valentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

Next, I covered the entire heart in jute twine. This gave it more strength and made it look a lot nicer too (in case there were any peeks through the greenery.)

High End Valentines Wreath Dupe 3 Valentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

For the greenery I used the eucalyptus bushes from Wal Mart. They carry the small ones for under $1 and some larger ones for about $3. I used a combination of both since they are a slightly different color and would give the wreath nice dimension. 

High End Valentines Wreath Dupe 4 Valentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

I removed each of the stems individually with a wire cutter and hot glued them onto the wreath form. I placed them with the stems facing the bottom point of the heart from either side. 

High End Valentines Wreath Dupe 5 Valentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

I alternated the leaves: some light and some dark and moved my way up to the top of the heart.

This took a bit of time since I was going for a really full heart, but in the end it all came together just the way I had hoped. 

High End Valentines Wreath Dupe 7 Valentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

I used some neutral striped ribbon from Dollar Tree to hang it and that was it! 

High End Valentines Wreath Dupe 8 Valentines Day Wreath High End Dupe

All in all this wreath cost me less than $20 and so much better than the original $100 price tag. The great thing is that I can leave it up longer during Spring so I don’t have to change out my decor as often. 

What do you think? I love how it turned out.

This year is quickly flying by and Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it, so today I have something really special for you. 

Ya know, the older I get the less knickknacks I want around the house cluttering my space especially for fleeting holidays. While I enjoy making home decor and unique pieces for my home, I want to make more meaningful pieces for my decor. And by meaningful sometimes I mean more challenging.

This year is going to be the year where I test my artistic abilities so I thought why not challenge myself in creating custom artwork for Valentine’s Day.

I love watching people paint and one of my favorite watercolor painters is Ellen Crimi Trent on YouTube. She’s amazing and I hope to one day paint as good as her. She created two beautiful watercolor pieces of art and I thought I would recreate one of them (using my stash of non-professional craft acrylic paint, LOL!)

So here goes..

Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

I bought some canvases at the Dollar Tree (in their more expensive section). They have 3 packs for $5. I used the largest one of the pack for this.

I gave it one coat of white chalk paint. And when that dried I used a heart doily to trace a heart onto it. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 1 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

Next, I taped off the inside of the heart so I wouldn’t get paint on that portion. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 2 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

Then I just pulled out some of my craft paint and began adding flowers all around. I used light pink, peach and a fuchsia color. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 3 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

I started with roses, made buds and honestly I just kept adding shapes all over the place. I really didn’t know how it was going to turn out. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 4 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

I also added stems and random leaves throughout. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 5 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

I added layers of color, waiting until the paint below dried to add more. Then I continued to fill in all the white space left around the heart. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 6 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

Once I thought I did enough, I removed the tape.

Here’s how it turned out in the end! I didn’t think it was too bad considering it was my first attempt. And while I am happy I can enjoy this in my home, I figured I would share it with you all!

I adjusted the colors just a bit in order to make a more romantic and upscale look but the quality of the image turned out pretty great!

There is an 8 x 10 version as well as a printable for a Valentine’s Day card for you to use this Valentine’s Day.

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters DIY Candlesticks From Old BanistersDIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Hello sweet friends! I recently went to South Carolina for a workshop and to meet one of my favorite YouTubers, Debi’s Design Diary. On the days leading up to the trip I told my husband that I wanted to stop by every single second hand, thrift or antique store along the way. 

I love thrifting but I will be honest, by the end of last year I was so burned out. And I needed to go and take a fun break and just look at pretty things instead of make pretty things for a change. Of course, I could not help myself and I ended up buying things to DIY anyways. I share more about the trip here. 

In one of the shops, I found these cute mini cloches at only 50 cents each so naturally I picked them up. I didn’t have a plan for them right away, but I knew I wanted to incorporate them into some candle holders of some type. 

Oh and did I mention, I have a huge announcement in this post? Keep reading to see what it is! 

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters 14 DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

After we came back from our trip I came across a FB Marketplace listing for a couple of banisters a lady was selling for $10 for the pair. I quickly went by and picked them up.

Aren’t they amazing?!

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters 1 DIY Candlesticks From Old BanistersMy husband and I had been working with our bathroom renovation and he had his power tools out, so I quickly asked him to cut them down for me. I had him cut them at differing heights.

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters 2 DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

He also cut the bolts off at the bottom of each. 

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters 3 DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

I recently purchased this box of wooden rings for another project and decided to use two of them for the tops of the candleholders. This gave it a more finished look (instead of it looking like it had been cut off).

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters 4 DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

I used some wood glue to adhere them. 

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters 5 DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

And I placed something heavy to hold them down while they dried. 

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters 6 DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

Since sage is the color of the year, I thought I would go with DIY Paint’s Gypsy Green and on that note….. 

I will actually be selling these paints very shortly!

I met Debi last month and she is a fan of my Youtube channel (as much as I am of hers) and she brought up the idea of me selling her paints. After so much deliberation (cause I overthink) and a couple of conversations, I thought I would take the leap of faith. I mean, I talk about her clear wax all the time anyway. LOL! 

So right now I am setting up everything behind the scenes so I can get started and sell them in my online shop. 

DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters 7 DIY Candlesticks From Old Banisters

Her paint is highly pigmented and is made of only 9 all natural ingredients. Because it is clay based it has amazing coverage and dries with a chalky feel. 

It’s great for both small and large projects. And I will even be carrying sample size paints as well for smaller projects like this!

I love the look and feel of it and I cannot wait to show you more from her line.

Now back to the candlesticks… I could have left them with one coat, but I went ahead and did a second since the banister was stained such a dark color to begin with.

After they dried I used some of her clear wax (it’s my favorite!) It deepens the color and seals the surface so smoothly.

While it was still tacky I sprinkled some of DIY Paint’s white Decrepit Dust and worked it into the paint strokes and all of the nooks and crannies with my brush. 

I also incorporated some of the DIY Paint’s white wax to bring out the creases even more.

Then I wiped off the excess with clean cloth that was just a little damp. As you can see I also distressed some of the edges a bit. You can see the different after I removed the excess on the bottom part of the candlestick.

Next I took some E6000 and applied it to the top rings so that I could adhere the mini glass cloches.

I even used a small level to make sure they stuck on straight.

And that was it! I think this is probably one of my best DIYs yet!

It’s like the mini cloches were meant for these banister legs! Such a perfect fit. Can you tell these were DIY candlesticks from old banisters?

I think the distressing is just the perfect amount and the white wax gives it an aged look. And I even put felt underneath them to protect my furniture surfaces.

What’s even more exciting is that I was able to make these book ends from one of the banister tops as well! And I still have more banister pieces left to make more projects!

Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Can you believe it is already 2022?! The more the years go past the faster they seem to go. This year will be super special though. For one thing, this year I turn 39 (before the end of the month actually). It’s my last year in my 30’s and I really want to make it a good one.

There are many things I want to do and a lot of goals I have set for myself by the end of this year. Let’s see if I can accomplish everything I have planned!  

But as for now let’s get to creating something beautiful for this winter season. I don’t know about you, but I get a little sad when I take down all of my Christmas decorations. Everything seems so plain and empty, so it’s nice to add little touches here and there to cozy up our home for the remaining months. 

*Scroll to the end for even more simple and elegant winter decor ideas!*

I love creating wreaths so I thought I would try one that looks like a winter sweater (no knitting required).

First, you will need yarn, and I picked this one up at Hobby Lobby at 30% off. 

Winter Wreath 3 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

Next, you will need a round wire wreath form. I wanted a large thick wreath so I actually zip-tied 2 of them together. 

Winter Wreath 4 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

I spray painted it white. This part is optional, but I do think it makes a difference since you may see some of the wire peek through the yarn and it would be less noticeable if it were white. 

Winter Wreath 7 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

Once it is dry it is time to measure your yarn length. You want to wrap it around the wreath and then about 1/4 more of the length of the wreath (marked by the red arrows). The reason you need to add length is because we will be braiding the yarn which will cause the total length to shrink.

Doing this will make sure you have enough slack to make it all the way around. 

Winter Wreath 6 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

Tape 3 pieces down and begin to make a simple braid. 

RELATED: Valentine’s Wreath 

Winter Wreath 5 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

 

Next, use some hot glue and start adhering the braid to the outside perimeter of the wreath and work your way until you come back to the start. 

When you reach the other end simply get it as close to the beginning piece and fold downwards onto the wreath to hide the ends. The yarn is so fluffy you won’t be able to tell when the yarn ends or starts. 


Winter Wreath 8 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

After the first row, start the second. In order to add contrast I applied the braid in the opposite direction so there is an opposing pattern. 

Winter Wreath 9 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

Finally glue your last braid onto the wreath. 

Winter Wreath 10 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

Now it’s time to add some greenery. I used some picks from Hobby Lobby’s Christmas clearance sale. 

Winter Wreath 11 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

Finally, make a bow the color of your choice. I picked a white and burlap combination since I prefer neutral colors especially for winter. Glue it on and you are done! 

Winter Wreath 12 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

And here is how it turned out! 


Winter Wreath 14 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath 

I love how it turned out! It feels wintery, yet cozy at the same time. 

Winter Wreath 13 Simple & Elegant Winter Wreath

I think all of the colors blend together so well and the fact that it’s not knitted even though it reminds me of a cozy sweater is a bigger bonus. I would love to learn to knit, but honestly haven’t gotten the time. 

Maybe I should add that as a goal too. LOL!

DIY Snow Globe for Christmas

DIY Snowglobe for Christmas

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

This year I am changing up my Christmas decor up and I am enjoying creating new DIYs for this season (keeping things budget friendly of course).

There are so many things in stores right now that are just beautiful and most of the time we want “all the things.” And yet this makes us forget that some of the simplest things can be the most enjoyable. 

And just like that this cute little glass globe caught my eye at Target’s dollar spot for only $5. 

DIY Snowglobe for Christmas 1 DIY Snow Globe for Christmas

It’s nice and heavy and both pieces are glass. Since I am going for a more formal and traditional feel for Christmas, I thought I would paint the bottom.

 I used this antique brass spray paint and gave it a couple of coats.

Once it was dry I got some floral foam that I had on hand and cut it to fit inside.

Then I cut a piece of white cloth. I get these from Dollar Tree in the automotive section and they are so soft.

I covered the foam with the cloth and inserted it into the globe base.

Next, I took a couple of Dollar Tree Christmas trees and glued them onto a small piece of white round poster board to keep them sturdy.

I placed them on the foam and then added some fake snow around the base and put the globe back on.

I added a navy blue ribbon to it and it was done! I love how simple it is yet how chic it turned out. It didn’t take much to personalize it and now I have a new piece of decor that I can enjoy that did not cost much at all to make. 

It’s so sweet and elegant, my only regret is not getting another one.

Hello again friends! I am so excited to be sharing this post because I finally have another space in my home that is complete. If you have been following along on my Youtube channel you know that we just started our homeschool journey this year (completely unplanned) but it’s been a great change for my family. 

I am so happy I get to teach my children on our own time and curriculum. The flexibility and informal setting has been great, but I still wanted an area that was dedicated to learning. 

We first started out in the dining room, but I will admit, it was driving me crazy. There was too much chaos and having to remove everything off the table at the end of the day to eat dinner…. sucked. 

However, in our much smaller home, I had to get creative when searching for a space. 

Our home is a little older and when we first saw the home we noticed it had quite a unique layout. The stairs to the second floor take you to a landing that’s quite open, but not much can really be done with the space. 

 

%name Homeschool Room Reveal

(original listing image)

It’s too large to leave it without furniture, but too small to create a living space or media room. 

 

%name Homeschool Room Reveal

(original listing image)

We hadn’t done much in the space since we moved in, but we did get that nasty carpet replaced as soon as we moved in. It was so gross, it literally sent me to the hospital. 

%name Homeschool Room Reveal

(original listing image)

As you can see from this angle, the area is a little awkward.

Since moving in, I had been using the space for my crafting and video editing. I had a table by the window to film my DIYs  and then the desk to the left is where I edited.  

I am not going to lie…. it was not pretty. 

Homeschool Room BEFORE Homeschool Room Reveal

However, now that I have my Youtube studio, this space is open and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to create a dedicated space for my kids to utilize.

So this is how I transformed the space! 

You can watch the entire process in the video below:


The first thing I did was sell the bookcase, move the desk further down the space and paint the walls. My husband also added casing around the window to match the rest of the house. We only have one more window to do in the entire house and then we will be done with all the window molding. 

You can read how to add window molding here. 

Homeschool Room Reveal 8 Homeschool Room Reveal

I needed bookshelves to hold all of the kids books and some supplies and I purchased these 2 on Facebook Marketplace for only $10 each. They had great bones, but I wasn’t too fond of the color. 

DIY Painted Bookcases 1 Homeschool Room Reveal

I gave them a makeover and shared the process in my last post. They look so much better now. 

Homeschool Room Reveal 4 Homeschool Room Reveal

Next, I needed a work surface for the kids so I decided to use the table that I used for crafting. I no longer needed it since we found a free desk on FB Marketplace for my Youtube studio. 

You can see that desk and how I transformed it here. 

Homeschool Room Reveal 5 Homeschool Room Reveal

As soon as you come up the stairs you walk right into this space so I thought I would add a mirror right above the right bookcase so that it could at least resemble more of a foyer set up instead of a homeschool bookshelf. 

Homeschool Room Reveal 3 Homeschool Room Reveal

The bench under the window is an old bench that used to be in the foyer of my last house. The carpet is from Boutique Rugs and this one is called the Pittsview.  I love their quality rugs and I have purchased from them several times. 

They were my sponsor for the video I shared above and right now they have a Black Friday sale going on where you can get 65% off plus free shipping!  I give a lot more details about Boutique Rugs in my video and if you are looking for a rug now is the time for huge savings! 

Homeschool Room Reveal 10 Homeschool Room Reveal

The curtains are from Plow & Hearth. I had them in my living room, but since I changed the curtains out for Christmas, I brought these up here. 

The map is a Trash to Treasure DIY I made earlier this year and the little cabinet is from a yard sale from before I was even married. I love that little cabinet. It cost me $20 way back.  I store all of the kids workbooks and binders in there. 

Homeschool Room Reveal 7 Homeschool Room Reveal

The chairs were a FB Marketplace find and I got 4 for $20 each and they were basically brand new. 

And of course I had to sprinkle some Christmas touches here and there. 

Homeschool Room Reveal 6 Homeschool Room Reveal

This room was truly so much fun to put together. I really tried to make it cozy and comfortable, but also encourage them to learn. 

For the limited amount of money that I had to put this together, I think I did pretty well in pulling this off. 

Homeschool Room Reveal 9 Homeschool Room Reveal

I am so happy with this space. The kids love it as well and really that is all that matters. 

If you have limited resources for a homeschool space, consider what you already have and what you can find second hand that can function for your space. Pull things from other rooms that you can use and don’t worry if everything is not perfect. 

It’s all about the environment and mood you create. The rest is just material stuff. 

I hope you found a little inspiration today! I will see you in the next one. 

Until then… adios!

Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

EASY DIY Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

*This post is sponsored by KILZ® Brand but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for more information*

I cannot believe it is already the end of October! It seems like summer was just here and we started on our homeschool journey. A few months in and things are going great! We have been really enjoying our new routine. 

The only thing I still need to work on is our homeschool space. I really want a space that is inviting and fun for the kids yet blends seamlessly with the rest of the house. One of the things I needed to tackle was storage space for books and I was finally able to make some progress on that front. 

Over the summer, I came upon a couple of bookshelves on FB Marketplace for only $10 each. They needed an update, but they were in good condition and had great bones. 

DIY Painted Bookcases 1 Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

 

As you know, I love giving furniture pieces makeovers so I was eager to give these bookcases a fresh look even though they were just simple bookcases. Sometimes it can be easy to overlook simple pieces like this when they are listed online. Even though they don’t have intricate design elements they can still make an impact in any room. Plus, they are functional pieces for storage and that’s a double bonus! 

Now, these bookcases are pretty dark so one of the most important things I needed to consider was using a good primer to cover the dark color, especially since I was going to lighten it up. I also wanted to make sure the paint treatment would last, because after all, this was going to be used by kids. 

I have used  KILZ® Primer in the past with previous furniture projects and it has always worked great so it was a no-brainer that I would use it for this project as well! 

DIY Painted Bookcases 2 Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

For this go-around I used  KILZ® All Purpose 2 Primer easily found at your local hardware store.

This primer is great for blocking medium stains including minor water stains, rust, grease, ink and even marker. It’s ideal for changing colors and reduces the number of coats of paint necessary to complete a project. KILZ® All Purpose 2 works both for interior and exterior applications and it can be applied on surfaces such as wood, drywall, plaster, paneling, masonry, and even metal.

Another great feature is that it works with oil and water-based paints so it gives you flexibility. 

DIY Painted Bookcases 3 Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

Application is easy. First, I made sure that the bookcase surfaces were clean. Then, I used a small angled sash brush as well as a 4 inch foam roller to apply the primer. 

DIY Painted Bookcases 4 Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

Applying the primer is simple. I like to use the angled brush to get in all of the nooks and creases first and then I roll over everything to make it smooth with the roller. 

When applying it on long surfaces, I like to roll the roller from one end of the piece to the other. This helps ensure a nice smooth application straight across.

And I make sure to get every single last part of the bookcases. If it was getting painted, it was getting primed! 

DIY Painted Bookcases 5 Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

Now, if you ever use primer and notice that the primed piece looks a little streaky or uneven – this is perfectly normal. As long as it is covered, it is fine! 

Just make sure it is completely dry before you move onto the next step! 

DIY Painted Bookcases 6 Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

Once the bookcases were dry I was ready to paint!

I have been liking more earthy and warm tones lately when selecting my colors. I really love Solid Wood from Magnolia Home by Joanna Gains®. It’s like a mushroom color (at least that’s what it looks like to me). 

So I used this paint for the bookcases. I use the same angled sash brush for the creases and nooks, but for the roller, I prefer to use a Wooster Pro 4 inch roller for smooth surfaces. It gives the painted surface a smoother finish in my opinion. 

It’s the same roller I use for my kitchen cabinets as well. 

DIY Painted Bookcases 7 Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

The second difference is that I always apply two coats of paint no matter what. For me, this is imperative as this ensures that the surface is completely covered. 

DIY Painted Bookcases 8 Painted Bookcases For Our Homeschool Space

I let the second coat dry for at least 24 hours so that the paint could properly cure. Then, it’s all about the decorating! 

I used mostly books and things I had on hand, but I was able to get a few fun accessories to make the space for fun.

Hi friends! It is the most wonderful time of the year! I’m enjoying the colder weather along with cozy nights by the fire. 

This year I wanted to change up my Christmas decor, and I wanted some unique pieces. But I also wanted to do it in a budget-friendly manner. So I thought I would create some new ornaments myself.  And I got to try a new craft that I had never done before.  

I had seen several DIYers use IOD molds and air clay before and the first person I saw who used this was Debi at Debi’s Designs Diary.  She has done many tutorials on her Youtube channel and she has an online shop so I thought I would finally give them a try. 

I have been really inspired by old world home decor lately. And I came across these frame molds that were just adorable. I also purchased a couple of packets of air dry clay ( I only used 1 for this project).

It took me a few tries to get the hang of it, but I quickly caught on and it was super simple to do. 

Before you start make sure to dust the molds with cornstarch so the clay doesn’t stick. 

Then, roll the clay in your hands to get it warmed up and loose. 

Once it’s more malleable push the clay into the molds.

Once I made sure everything was pressed down evenly, I used a thin scraper to remove the excess from the mold.

Then, I removed the mold by peeling it away from the clay frame.

The frames need a good amount of time to dry, so set the frames aside at least 24 hours to dry completely. 

Please note: My frames didn’t crack as they dried, but I noticed they did shrink a tiny bit.

Afterwards, I took gold acrylic paint. I used the Treasure Gold paint by Folkart because it is highly pigmented and it has a vintage tone to it.

As the frames dry you can find landscape (or any type) prints online that you may like to use. There are a ton of free printable options on Pinterest. You can print them out in tiny sizes so that they may fit inside the tiny frames. Then you cut them down to fit each one. 

Please note: You can always hand paint this if you wish, or you can also use family pictures for this as well.

I then used matte Mod Podge to apply the prints onto the frame. First, I applied some one the middle section of the frame…

Then I added the print and applied more Mod Podge on top of it to seal it.

Once they were dry I got some ribbon and used clear craft glue to adhere it to the back of each ornament so I could hang them.

Please note: Hot glue will not work for this.

And that was it! I love how they turned out. They are so unique and add so much character to the tree.

I love the various shapes and sizes they come in. They can also be painted to suit any color scheme and can be given as keepsake gifts for the holidays as well.

How To Update Old Pumpkins

Every year around this time we take out our fall decor and spruce our homes bringing in change. And all throughout stores there are so many beautiful things we can buy to add on to our current home decor. The thing is that it’s nice to follow new trends and change things up. But it’s also nice to save money. So how can we do both? 

Revamp your outdated decor! 

Yep! Mind-blowing, I know. 🤪

But it really is so easy and even fun, plus you save money so why not?!

Just look at the image below. These are some of the pumpkins I used to decorate this year. They are old and outdated pumpkins that I revamped to bring in a new look for fall this year. And it didn’t cost me more than $5 of supplies I already had in my stash.

So here is what I did… I took out some old pumpkins that I wasn’t using. This one is actually a Halloween one, but I don’t decorate the inside of the house for Halloween. 

Full disclosure, my house is decorated for Christmas in October. #YouTubelife

I had some yarn from Dollar Tree. I found these a few weeks ago and I really liked their colors and their quality. The store has really stepped up.

So the first thing I did was remove the stem and make a hole on the top and bottom of the pumpkin.

Then, I began cutting small bunches of yarn and applying them with hot glue. I cut the ends and wrapped them over and into the inside of the pumpkin, tucking the ends away.

Then I just repeated. I kept adding little bunches making sure to keep the yarn straight and covering the parts of the pumpkins that protrude outward.

Once most of the pumpkin was covered and all that was left to cover was the inside creases I began creating braids out of the bunches of yarn.

And then I added them to the areas where the creases were still exposed.

Finally, when the pumpkin was complete, I took the glue gun and inserted it at the top. Most of the yarn had covered the hole and the heat helped open it back up so that I could put the stem back in.

After I put the stem back, I was done!

Perfection! I love the added detail of the braids. And the green color is so pretty and fresh. 

Plus the yarn and braids give it a cozy feel.

It goes perfectly with the rest of the pumpkins I updated also.

As well as the topiary I just created which I shared here.

I tried so many different techniques to update some more of my pumpkins.

Here I used sticky beading from Dollar Tree and raffia from a hula skirt.

I decided to stencil this one. The stencil bled a bit, but it kinda gave it a water color feel.

I used a two-tone yarn for this small pumpkin and a mini gourd for the stem.

And I used chenille yarn for this one and wrapped it horizontally to give it a different look.

I added some lace to another.

And for this one I used Dollar Tree, rub on transfers. There really are so many options!

Now I have a huge assortment of pumpkins and I didn’t have to buy anything new! Total win in my book!

A Little About Your Latina

My name is Yami. I'm a wife, mother of 3 beautiful children and of course, your Latina next door. If you're my neighbor you will most likely here a sander, drill or a can of spray paint hard at work at any given moment (with some salsa playing the background of course). I'm grateful that I get to stay at home and document all the little, BIG or just down crazy things I come up with to make my house a home. I would love for you to join me on this adventure!

Happy Monday! We have been away for a little bit h Happy Monday! We have been away for a little bit here on Instagram taking a much needed vacation because we are about to get really busy over here.
.
If you watch our channel we just shared big news last week and our lives are about to change in an enormous way. We just purchased land and will be creating our very own homestead. We have been dreaming about this for quite some time. Last year we wanted to move forward but due to personal reasons we had to put it on hold. But for the past few months God has been calling us to pursue our dream and we finally found a little piece of heaven on earth.
.
We can’t wait to share more with you all but if you haven’t seen the video make sure to click the link in bio and head to our latest video on our channel. We are so excited about our new chapter and we can’t wait to get started. 💕

So I did a thing…. 🤪 I shared that I started So I did a thing…. 🤪
I shared that I started pouring my own natural soy wax candles 🕯this past Wednesday and our signature fragrance (Egyptian Amber) is already sold out. 😱
.
Holy moly! I’ve already ordered more of that fragrance and wax! But no worries - we still have 3 more fragrances available: Honeysuckle Jasmine with a hint of Vanilla (a special mix by me😏), Vanilla Lavender (also a custom mix) and Clean Cotton… plus tomorrow I’m adding Coconut Lime to the shop! 🤩
.
And if you’re wondering a little bit about these, these are all hand-poured by me (I’m still in the learning process but I’m getting better with each pour). I use nothing but USA grown soy wax, all natural, no dyes. These all burn clean as well. One thing I have tried to do in the past few years is make a healthier home for my family and I no longer buy mass manufactured dyed candles with artificial fragrances and harsh chemicals. One thing though is that I am very picky about scents and don’t really like what’s out there in the natural soy wax candle world so I started coming up with my own. If you like elegant, soothing and spa-like fragrances you will love the custom blends. 😍 
.
Plus, I find this so much fun too! I’m like a mad scientist experimenting with fragrances and percentages in my studio.

I have a link in bio if you want to check these out. I also sell any leftover wax from each batch in the form of wax melts.

My mom and I went shopping for her birthday 2 week My mom and I went shopping for her birthday 2 weeks ago and we went to some thrift stores. She found 2 of these decorative pieces (swipe for the before 😬) and I gave them a makeover.

Sometimes simple is just better. Don’t underesti Sometimes simple is just better.
Don’t underestimate the ordinary pieces in your home that may be outdated or just lack a little character.
.
Many times we see what everyone else is buying right now and we think we need to have all those things too. I see so many people getting rid of perfectly good pieces in their home just so they could keep up with the current trends. A lifetime ago I might have felt left out (stressed out) because I couldn’t do this. Now, I could care less. 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
It’s been a while now since I have begun to appreciate more timeless pieces. Pieces with more classic looks. Pieces that are inexpensive but well made and purchased second hand. Yes, they may need a little TLC but they are oh so worth it in the end.
.
But you don’t always have to find something new to have nice things in your home. For example, my parents gave me these stools several years ago and they have been in our basement since we moved to our house. They are simple and definitely not “In style”. But I decided to give them a facelift and bring them back to life if you will.
.
Now speaking frankly, I am not in need of any stools nor do I have space for them but I hope their next owner will appreciate them and love their new look.

Today is an amazing day! Yesterday @thelatinoengin Today is an amazing day! Yesterday @thelatinoengineer11 and I did something that’s going to change our future forever and we cannot wait to share the details with you all very soon. This has been something 2 years in the making and we finally made the move we needed to make it happen. The next few months are going to be a little crazy, scary and exciting all at once, but I’m putting my trust in God that everything will go according to plan.
