Best Pico De Gallo Recipe…Ever!

Happy Hump Day!

I hope you all are doing great. There is one thing I find myself doing a lot more since being in “quarantine” (and apparently the rest of the world is doing it too) and that is eating. Yes, we have been finding ourselves making extra trips to the kitchen and apparently that is the only thing we talk about.

What are we having for breakfast?

What’s for lunch?

What’s for dinner?

Is it snack time?

What are we making tomorrow?

And one of the things I have been asked to share more on my channel are recipes so I thought it would be totally appropriate to share something we make almost every.single.week.

That is Pico de Gallo.

Now, I am from Puerto Rico and my husband is from El Salvador and honestly, I don’t know if this is the authentic way of making it. However, this recipe holds a dear place in our hearts because 12 years ago went to Mazatlán, Mexico and got engaged.

A year and a half later we got married in the Riviera Maya in Mexico as well.

One of the things that we remembered most about our first trip to Mazatlán was the all-you-can-eat Pico de Gallo you were served when ordering a bucket of Corona beer at the poolside (yes, the irony).

It was the best ever!

And we left wondering what it was that made it so special. We spent the next months trying to replicate that amazing taste in a Pico de Gallo so we could enjoy it time and time again.

Well, we finally figured it out and it was so simple it will make your head spin. So I thought I would share it with you in case you too are wondering what to make for dinner tonight, or tomorrow, or Friday.

So this is how we do it (and remember you can always add or reduce the amount of ingredients to your liking depending on how much you want to make and how strong you like the flavors).

We are a family of 5 and everyone loves this recipe so this makes a pretty good size bowl, so I would encourage you to try it with these measurements first and go from there.

5 ripe medium tomatoes (we use the kind on the vine)
1/2 of a large yellow onion (or a whole medium one)
Cilantro (1/2 of one of those sprigs you get at the grocery store… yes, it’s a lot)
The juice of 2 fresh limes
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of cumin – YEP, that’s the ingredient right there!!!!!

***If you want spice…. 1 fresh serrano pepper (optional) – we don’t include this ourselves because of the kids, but if you like it spicy go right ahead. I would suggest to start with 1/2 of one and go up from there.***

All you do is finely chop all the tomatoes, onion and cilantro and add them to a medium to large bowl. I actually remove a lot of the seeds from the tomatoes to reduce the amount of liquid in the sauce.
Squeeze your lemon juice onto the veggies .
Then add the seasonings, mix it all up and viola! You have some awesome-sauce right there…..

Eat with homemade tortilla chips or add it on top of steak tacos!

My kiddos love this stuff! You can see their reactions in the video below. They’re quite hilarious. 😂

You can also watch how I prepare it myself and see some fun pictures from our trips to Mexico in the video below.

So that’s it folks!

You know I like to keep things short and sweet.

I hope you will try this awesome recipe that not only tastes good, but is diet friendly too (ya know, for those of you still on track with that resolution thing despite staying at home and eating all day).

I will see you in the next one.

Until then… adios!

Dollar Tree Mirror DIY

Hello friends!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I am sharing another easy DIY made from a Dollar Tree mirror that I had lying around for way too long.

The one great thing about this quarantine is that I finally get to make over all those items that I have had in my stash (ya know, instead of just buying new things 😜).

I have had this idea for a while, just never got to it and all I needed was a few leftover pieces of items that I had used previously.

Now once we all start going back to our regular shopping routines, if you do go to Dollar Tree and find mirrors, definitely buy yourself some. I don’t always care for their frames or designs, but a mirror for a dollar is an awesome price. And for a couple more dollars you can make something beautiful and unique.

Take this one for instance…

Some of the following links are affiliate links where I make a small commission if you choose to purchase (at no extra cost to you)

It’s plastic… and while I appreciate the nice “love” message, the design is not my style. So I decided to use the mirror portion (after all it was the most valuable part).

RELATED: Pottery Barn Mirror Dupe

I had some dowel pieces (of course I did 😉) and cut them to make a frame.

I have 2 tools that I use to cut my dowels: one is the mini miter saw kit below and the other is my new favorite craft tool of all time….my shears.

Those shears are a game changer!

I simply cut them to fit the exterior of the frame.

I also had this small embroidery hoop piece that fit right in the center.

So I cut 4 smaller dowels as well (small enough to fit between the hoop and frame).

These were all my pieces.

I stained them with my favorite antiquing wax (watered down of course).

While they dried I cut the ends off some large popsicles and glued them to the mirror from behind so I had a place to adhere the dowels for the frame.

I used a little bit of hot glue and E6000 to glue the frame on.

I tried to get them as close as possible.

Next, I glued the embroidery hoop and the smaller dowels to the top of the mirror. I used E6000 for this.

If there was any glue that seeped out, I simply removed with it a cotton tip with some rubbing alcohol.

After the dowels were dry I simply hung it up with some command strips.

I know you can’t see it much here, but it is the perfect compliment to my DIY faux wood candlestick (that I had purchased at Goodwill).

This mirror is simple, but you would never think it started out as a cheap LOVE mirror sign from Dollar Tree

Now I wish I had more to make a set 🤦🏻‍♀️

RELATED: Sunburst Mirror DIY sunburst

I created even more DIY’s using items from my stash and they all coordinate so well.

You can watch those tutorials here and that Spanglish decal is also available in my shop.

Don’t forget to share this DIY with your crafty friends as well!

I will se you all in the next one. Until then… adios!

Thrifted Tray Transformation

This post contains affiliate links. For more details please see full disclosure

Hello dear friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday. We of course spent it at home, but at least we were still able to enjoy mass. Technology can be a beautiful thing.

We spent the day indoors since it was rainy all day. But it was nice to spend a day relaxing at home since most of the time all we do is work, work and work on the renovations. My dad came up this weekend to help my husband with the installation of our floors. I hope to share more of that soon as well.

And of course, I took the opportunity to catch up on my blogging since I am a couple of blog posts behind from my channel.

And then there is the news that I never actually officially shared!

I opened my online shop finally! It’s not much, but I am just happy it is done and I cannot wait to add more items to the store.

Okay so for the DIY.. I decided to join my dear friend Casey in her Trash to Treasure challenge on Youtube and create something beautiful out of something you would consider trash or you would normally get rid of.

I had this tray that I bought from Goodwill several years ago and thought about taking it back a few times.

It was actually one of my first DIYs on this blog. As you can see my style was WAYYYY different back then.

This was a piece I did for my daughter’s room but she never really used it and the paint job got pretty dingy after a while. Of course, I didn’t really know what I was doing back then. LOL!

My husband was in need of a small tray on his nightstand to gather his trinkets… ya know, ring, wallet, the spoon he loves to eat Peanut Butter out of late at night.

Yes, he totally does that. Ugh. 🙄

I thought this would be perfect for it. So the first thing I did was take it apart.

I gave it a coat of Debi Design Diary’s clay based paint in Apothecary. This paint is so rich and pigmented you only need one coat.

My husband loves the John Wick movies and we both appreciate the tattoo on his back that reads” Fortune Favors the Bold” in Latin.

So I thought this would totally be appropriate since it would be on his nightstand.

I simply adhered the decal (I use this vinyl) to nice poster board and taped it to the tray piece that went right under the glass.

At least this way if I ever want to change the decal it will be super easy to do so. This decal is actually available in my shop as well.

I put the tray back together and applied a coat of Debi’s clear wax. It brings out the color and protects it nicely. I simply used a lint free cloth to apply it.

Then I added a little bit of Debi’s white wax also to give it an aged coastal look.

And that was pretty much it.

I love the color and the bold words. And at least it’s not too girly for his side of the bed.

Also, along with this tray transformation I created 3 other DIYs…

That frame on the top left is actually a cheap black plastic frame from Dollar Tree that I gave a facelift to and made look just like wood. You can actually create that effect on anything!

I share what I use and the exact steps to do it in the video below.

I hope you liked this quick tray makeover. Sometimes, it doesn’t take a lot to make something beautiful again. In this case I could have easily donated this or thrown it out, but I decided to give it another chance.

And I am glad I did.

See you in the next one. Until then… adios!

How to Install a Ceiling Fan

Some of the links below are affiliate links, please see full disclosure for more information

Hey everyone and Happy Monday!

I hope you are staying safe and healthy. It was made official late last week that our school system will not open back up for the rest of the school year. Our kiddos were already doing their Digital Learning program at home and we just had a nice break from it all since last week was our Spring break.

Today is back to reality and yesterday I did the unthinkable.

I went to Dollar Tree. I spent $56 and I got NOTHING for crafting.

All of it was workbooks, paper, activity books and supplies that will hopefully help me in keeping my kids occupied and having some type of homeschooling system that doesn’t totally suck.

So today it begins for me…. I got this. 😰

In other news, things are moving along with the updates in our home.

My hubby, the Latino Engineer just installed a gorgeous fan in our sunroom (which we desperately needed because the temps are starting to rise and it’s getting unseasonably warm in there in the late afternoons.

I partnered with Hunter Fan Company to create a video in order to share how to properly install a fan and share some cool features of our coastal farmhouse fan that I am so in love with.

The Latino Engineer took over my channel (and who better since he has a background in the electrical field) and he shares just how simple it can be.

And if you too are taking this time at home to make some updates, this video might just come in handy. 😉

Let me know how you think he did!

Here is the model we have – The WARRANT.

I have a few DIY’s headed your way as well as this month’s invitation for the Look for Less Challenge.

Ballard Designs Dupe

Hello there! It’s Monday again and that means back to homeschooling. Please wish me luck this week. This is hard! I will be taking it one day at a time, but I can only hope that I don’t screw up my kids with my terrible teaching skills.

For today I have my latest Look for Less project. I host this challenge on my Youtube channel every month and it’s an open invitation to anyone who wishes to join.

See my first ever Look for Less Dupe here!

My inspiration for this month’s Look for Less was the following faux paper whites that I saw on Ballard Design’s website.

At the time I saw it, it was on sale for $103.00 but the funny thing was that this was just for the floral portion, not the container. If I had wanted a container for them, I would have had to pay another $63 for a similar one they had on their site. So in total I would have had to spend $166.00!

But you know me, and that wasn’t happening. So I decided to head to my nearest Goodwill to see if I could come up with something.

They didn’t have any similar containers, but I was able to find the following… a candleholder and a bowl. The bowl only cost me $0.39.

I also had some 3D round stickers that I had gotten at Dollar Tree and I knew just what to do.

For the video tutorial you can always go HERE.

First, I gave everything a good cleaning with alcohol.

Next, I took some E6000 and glued the pieces together.

After they were dry, I gave the piece one coat of spray paint.

As you can see, it still needed more paint, but I needed to make sure the surface was a little more porous for the next step.

I needed to add the 3D stickers. It was super to easy to since they came in strips.

Once I was happy with the placement, I gave the entire piece several coats of spray paint.

Now, it was time to work on the floral portion. For this I needed the following…

A styrofoam round, some floral bushes (from Dollar Tree) and some Easter eggs.

First I cut the bottoms and tops off the eggs.

I started with an exacto knife, but then I changed to my wood burning tool (with the cutting attachment) and it worked better.

Next, I placed each egg on a square of wrapping paper. It was from Hobby Lobby from when they wrap your delicate purchases so they won’t break, and hot-glued it on.

I glued the rest of the paper onto the egg until it covered it completely. And then I painted over the paper with brown acrylic paint.

Then after they were dry I hot-glued them onto the Styrofoam circle.

Next I added Dollar Tree moss and the floral stems ( individually cut from the bushes) into the 3 different bulbs. I used 2 different type bushes: one was a floral bush and the other was long stem greenery to mimic the long leafs on the original paper whites.

Once I was happy with the flowers, I placed the floral piece inside the white container and then added a little bit more brown acrylic paint (this time a little lighter) to give the bulbs more dimension.

And then I was finally happy with how it turned out!

I was so pleased with how it came together. You can’t tell that the bowl was 2 different pieces and the Easter eggs are well camouflaged by the crinkled paper (which was basically trash).

Comparing the two, I think I did pretty good. The only supplies I had to buy for this were 3 bushes, the 3D stickers, the spray paint, the bowl and candleholder. So my cost was only $9.

My daughter loved this so much that she wants it in her room. Makes my heart so happy that she actually appreciates my creations.

Until then… adios!

DIY Spring “Spanglish” Sign

Hello everyone! I usually don’t post on Saturdays, however, it has been a while since I had written a post and I thought it would be nice to share a little bit of a positive distraction with you.

With the recent developments in our country and changes to our school situation, I have had to find a new normal and it has been adjustment indeed. I don’t think I was ever meant to be a teacher. And I am sure my kids will tell me that someday. 😂

Fortunately our kids go to an amazing school and their awesome teachers are trying their very best to make this as easy for us as possible.

And since we are now staying a lot more inside our homes, I thought it would be totally appropriate to share this “Home Sweet Casa” sign that I made a couple of weeks ago (and only now getting to share it here🤦🏻‍♀️).

I was part of a fun Dollar Tree Mystery Box Challenge on my Youtube channel and this was one of the DIY’s I created out of some of my items and here is how I did it.

There were several items in my box and I did a total of 6 DIY’s out of all the items and you can see the entire video here.

This little arrow was one of the items in my box…

Some of the links below are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure here

The first thing I did was remove the jute string and turn it upright.

It resembled more of a house upright so I cut some dowels to create a roof. I used my new shears and they are amazing at cutting dowels! You can see how they work in this video.

Next, I painted the house white with some Home Decor Chalk Paint in White Adirondack.

I used my favorite antiquing wax (watered down) in order to stain the dowels.

Once they were both dry I used hot glue to adhere them together.

I wanted it to really resemble a house so I went ahead and added a little door. I just taped off a section with washi tape and used some Apple Barrel paint in black.

Next I took one part of an embroidery hoop and a Dollar Tree sign that I already had on hand…

And I stained the hoop with the same watered down antiquing wax and I Mod Podged the sign with some scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby.

I glued the embroidery hoop with E6000 onto the perimeter of the sign and then the house onto the bottom of the sign as well.

Afterwards I created a little decal (which is also available in my shop) to add to the little house.

I use this vinyl.

Next, I took some leftover roses from my Valentine’s DIY’s and added them to the top along with some greenery.

My mystery box also had some pearls so I strung some large ones and used them to hang the sign and that was it!

I was so happy with how it came out. It’s the perfect piece to brighten my space and bring some much needed cheer into our home.

Let me know what you think! What colors would you have used? Flowers? Would you add a different saying?

PIN this on Pinterest to share with your friends and I will see you in the next one!

Until then… adios!

DIY Farmhouse Wall Planter

Some of the links below are affiliate links. For more information please see full disclosure

Hello and Happy Friday!

It has been another full week here. This week was all about paperwork, tax paperwork that is! It’s one of those processes that can be painful leading up to it and then once you’re done, it’s like a huge weight has been lifted off and you can breathe again!

FYI… if you are still struggling or haven’t even started with your taxes, I have a $25 off code to use at H&R Block if you decide to have them handle it. We went there last year and it was so good to have someone do it for us.

Coupon Code: 51392

We plan on going there again and will be sharing more about our experience in a future post.

For this post, however, we are doing a little DIY to get us in the Spring mood.

During my last Look for Less Challenge, I gave everyone 3 projects to vote on for my monthly project. The most votes was for the tray I previously shared, but the wall planter was a close second so I decided to give it a go as well since so many people were intrigued by it.

Below is the inspiration piece.

It wasn’t that expensive but I knew I could do better.

Here are a few of the things I used.

We had some leftover 2 x 4’s at home and I got my hubby to trim off the edges to make them more square. I had him cut 2 of them at 36″ in length and the other 2 at 11 1/8″ so that they be slightly larger than the wire baskets.

I stained them with Early American and I added wood glue to the ends and help them with clamps until dry.

These baskets were from Hobby Lobby and you can get them as low as $3.50 with the 50% discount.

After the wood glue was dry, I drilled some countersink holes so that I could screw the wood together for a stronger hold.

Then I laid the baskets evenly throughout the frame leaving a little bit more space above the top basket.

Here is how I spaced them out.

MEASUREMENTS OVERVIEW:

Vertical 2 x 4’s = 36″
Horizontal 2 x 4’s = 11 1/8″
The first basket rests on the bottom shelf but is still attached by screws.
The next wire basket up is set at 13 1/2″ and the top wire basket is set at 23 1/2″

I marked them with tape to know where to screw them in.

My hubby took over at this point so I could take photos. He just took some screws we already had and screwed them through the top holes of the wire baskets, doing 2 on each side.

You want to screw them in like this.

Don’t worry about the ugly yellow screws – we will address that later.

Of course, if anything confuses you by the process you can always watch the tutorial as well.

DIY Farmhouse Wall Planter

Next, I took my Cameo and made some “herb” decals. I actually made one in English and one in Spanish.

Stay tuned, cause these will be available in my shop!

I have had the Cameo for a while and only regret not using it sooner. It’s so much fun!

Eek! I just love making decals!

For the decals, I made a cute frame out of dowels which I cut with my cute mini miter saw kit.

Then I took this new product by PLAID called Treasure Gold in Antique Silver to paint the dowels. I wanted them to match the wire baskets since I already had stained wood on my frame.

I used this same paint to paint over those yellow screws we used to attach the baskets.

I glued the decal onto the frame and then I attached the small sign with command strips. I didn’t want to make it permanent in case I even want to use this sign for another purpose.

What’s cool is that the larger Dollar Tree terra-cotta pots fit on the wire baskets perfectly!

Psssst…. those aren’t real plants, but I plan on actually planting some for this piece.

I just couldn’t share pots with dirt (wouldn’t look as pretty 😜).

It looks perfect in the sunroom too!

And unlike the inspiration piece this one has 3 tiers!

I love it! What do you think?

This cost me about $10.50 to make. And while most people don’t have heavy duty wood cutting equipment, Home Depot can cut a 2 x 4 for you with the measurements I shared above.

So you can totally do this!

If you were inspired by this, don’t forget to PIN and share with your friends!

Wishing you all a great weekend! Until next week, adios!

DIY Spring Farmhouse Sign

Happy Monday! I am so happy to start a new week. Last week was brutal. Not only did I feel terrible, but the rain in Georgia just keeps pouring from the heavens and my two older kids had parent teacher conferences, and they also were released early from school 2 days this week… and did I mention it won’t stop raining?!?

Forecast for today… more rain!

😩

Since I was in desperate need of some sunshine in my life I thought I would take a shot at making some Spring DIY’s… and I must confess I have never EVER created a decor piece with carrots for my home. Nor did I ever really want to.

However, I had recently gone to Hobby Lobby and saw so much inspiration that I thought I would give it a try.

I came up with this cute Farmhouse Spring Sign with a fun twist…

I took this pallet sign that I had on hand (it was the same one I used for my Harvest sign last year) as well as a farmhouse truck from Dollar Tree that I bought back at Christmas.

A real crafter buys multiples of the same item and doesn’t use them till months later #crafterslife

I painted the pallet with my go-to white chalk paint and used Morning Mist by Hand Made Modern (a PLAID line found at Target) to paint the truck.

I also painted the wheels in Folkart’s Peppercorn.

Once that was dry I flipped over the truck and added a few of the tumbling blocks I had left over from my Look for Less Neiman Marcus inspired tray.

This will give the sign dimension and leave space to insert some floral foam.

Then I glued the truck in place and used three of these cute carrots I found at Dollar Tree.

I hot glued them together and placed a small dowel in between 2 of them. The dowel is to insert them into the floral foam.

Then I took one of these tags from Dollar Tree’s new craft section and made a cute “carrots ” sign. I have the coolest new tool to cut dowels! The video at the end of this post shows you exactly how to use them too.

I added 7 wooden beads and tied the end with an extra loop.

This way I could add a thumb tack to the back of the pallet sign and hang the tag over the front.

And it made the cutest sign!

But wait! There’s more!

If carrots aren’t your thang, then try this option. I got a wooden heart left over from my Valentines decor and marked a line right above the truck bed (for a reference point).

I covered the heart (above the line) with cute small roses (I got a bundle from Walmart for $1.47).

I placed it in the truck bed instead and made a new sign for “Flowers”.

Viola!

It’s a versatile sign for all occasions & holidays! Which sign do you prefer? I like both, what can I say?

Also, I have even more Spring Decor DIY’s in my latest video.

Carrots and orbs anyone? I am in love with this one!

Another fave was my carrot “wreath” for over a door! Oh and that shutter was a $6 DIY! It’s so easy to make, no expensive tools required.

Look for Less Challenge DIY Wood Tray

Happy Hump Day!

Today is the Look for Less and I am excited to share my take on a very, very, VERY expensive Neiman Marcus tray.

This project was actually chosen by my subscribers for this month’s Look for Less Challenge and I was happy to take on the task. The original inspiration was from Neiman Marcus at a whopping $275!

At that price, it’s a no go for me.

I could buy a whole couch for that!

And just in case you don’t believe the price, here is the proof below. 😱

*Some of the links below are affiliate links. See full disclosure for full details. *

I believed I had just the items to recreate this as well.

I know you have seen the tumbling tower blocks at Dollar Tree. Many people use them to make DIY’s out of them. And while I have used them in the past as part of DIYs, this was my first time attempting a project made completely out of them.

I used 6 boxes total.

First, I painted some of them white. I used the color Vintage White by Folkart.

I apologize for the blurry image, but I wanted to make sure you saw that for this paint application (if you attempted to recreate this), you will need to paint the wider side of each wood piece for this part.

Okay, so after that… I took a frame that I already had from Dollar Tree (which I had made into another project, but it kinda flopped) and began hot gluing the pieces onto the frame, making sure that I kept a white-wood-white-wood pattern.

Because the wood pieces were longer that the frame, some of them stuck out on either side.

You can always see the tutorial here as well:

I worked my way down the frame. I used school glue to adhere them to each other while at the same time using hot glue to adhere them to them frame. I felt this worked best and the school glue acted like wood glue and bonded the pieces well together.

Once that was done, I sanded the top surface to smooth everything out and then repainted a couple of the blocks that lost their pigment due to the sanding.

After that it was time to add the sides, but first I needed to paint some more wood pieces. This time, I needed to paint the narrower sides and one end of each.

See image below….

Then, I glued them side by side following the same pattern. I glued the side walls together with school glue and then once they were dry, I hot glued the entire piece to each of the 4 sides of the tray.

I am not going to lie, this took patience!

The tray was taking shape, but it needed something else.

The original had handles so I took a small dowel left over from another project and I cut several pieces with my favorite mini saw kit.

I painted them with my Brushed Metal paint in Bronze and then once dry, I hot-glued the on as well.

Finally, I added one coat of Mod Podge in a Matte finish and I was done!

This dupe cost me $7 because I had pretty much everything, but if you need to purchase the items for it all, then it would cost anywhere from $10 to $12.

Sill not bad, I think!

And while the handles aren’t functional, the tray is. And it’s pretty sturdy.

Let me know what you think below!

I will see you in the next one, until then…. adios!

Dollar Tree Farmhouse Bathroom Sign

Hey there friends! I almost thought I was not going to be able to post this week, but alas, I made it! The hubby and I are trying to get ahead on some renovation projects now that our flooring fiasco has been resolved.

If you don’t know, when we removed our carpets we found that the previous homeowners used to let their pets use the bathroom on their carpet…. constantly…. like FOREVER! So when we lifted the carpet, we found the subfloor completely saturated and damaged in several areas and we had to fix it.

This week on my channel I did share the exactly what we found and what we did to remedy the situation and how we reduced our costs. It was bad, but we learned a lot and are happy to share our experience because you never know who might be in a similar situation.

So if you or someone you know has damaged subfloors check out the video here.

Okay so now for the cute farmhouse sign above.

Yes it was a Dollar Tree DIY and it was so easy to make!

Here are a few things I used for a quick reference:

The following links are affiliate links, for full disclosure please go here.

First off, I used this cute sign from Dollar Tree.

I removed the jute string and began giving it a coat of white chalk paint.

I gave the entire piece 2 coats (making sure to get the flipping part of the sign on both sides).

Next, I searched online for the male and female bathroom signage and printed it out on cardstock.

I cut it down to size with an exacto knife and made to make the opening for the flipping sign.

As always you can see the full tutorial in video format as well…

Then, I applied Mod Podge to the sign to adhere it.

Now you must be thinking why I would paint the sign only to Mod Podge over it. Well…since the sign was so colorful, had I not done so, the pattern would have shown through the cardstock and it would have looked terrible.

Once that was dry, I did the smaller sign… I basically used font already on my computer and made sure that the words fit inside the smaller rectangle.

I cut the words out with a paper cutter so that the lines would be nice and straight. Mine is from Hobby Lobby, but here is a similar one.

So while that was drying, I cut a dowel (5/8″ of an inch) in order to make a frame for the exterior.

I cut them down with my mini miter kit that has been so great for so many craft projects!

Then I applied my favorite antiquing wax to the dowels.

I applied it with a small brush and removed the excess with a paper towel. It has such a beautiful finish!

I adhered them to the sign with hot glue and removed any glue residue that might have seeped through with my exact knife.

Finally, I added some jute string on the back and it was ready to hang!

You would never know it was a Dollar Tree sign to begin with!

Use it on the exterior of a bathroom door or inside your bathroom for just decor.

And I love that it flips! So cute! It would actually be functional at parties too cause people could actually change out the verbiage to let people know someone is inside.

Let me know what you think and don’t forget to PIN!

And I will see you next time! Until then, adios!

Our 2020 Plans for our Fixer Upper

Happy Monday! Now that February is well underway and I got a few DIY’s completed, I thought I would share this year’s plans for our home. As you know we moved into our forever “farmhouse” on 2.5 acres this past October and since then things have been a little crazy.

I feel like now is finally a good time to get projects moving along and (hopefully) completed. There are so many things on this list, I hope I am alive by the end of the year… but for real, if done at a steady pace, it should all get done just fine.

As always, you can watch/listen to this post on the go by playing the video below:

First off I would like to finish the sunroom which I started back in late October. We painted the walls and the tile floors, but here is the before…

(These images are from the listing of the house so everything is empty. I wish I knew who took them so I could properly credit and also let them know how amazing they are because the house doesn’t look like that in real life, LOL!)

Of course, it looks better now, but I will need to add blinds and window treatments as well as more decorative pieces. You can see the furnishings in this post.

Next, we need to finish the laundry room. We started working on it this past November as well but we took a brief halt when I went to the hospital and then switched our focus to enjoying the holidays so not much happened since then.

This ended up being more than we bargained for because as you can see the opening below covers part of the washer and dryer below which made up purchase a new top loader set even though we brought a perfectly good front loader set from our last laundry room.

RELATED: Laundry Room Progress

But even after buying them new, we still had to make the opening larger. We had to take it to the studs and move them out further and replace the header. This was all done by my hubby by the way.

So while we were at it he removed the popcorn ceiling, painted, retiled and added new baseboards.

You can watch the process here.

Of course, there is still more to do because I need storage, so I created a design board for this space in order to finalize how I wanted everything to look.

I create these all the time because it helps me figure out whether or not what I envision will actually look good and it keeps me focused on getting what is on my vision board and doesn’t allow me to stray (too far at least…).

If you have ever wanted to learn how to make one, I share exactly how I made this one (without expensive editing software or any photoshop skills).

Full tutorial here.

Next, and probably the biggest thing will be the floors and guess what, we have a teeny tiny budget for this, so completing it will take a serious amount of ingenuity and hard work on our part. We wish to add hardwoods to the entire first floor.

But before that we need to remove the popcorn ceilings all over the first floor, which my hubby has already started (full tutorial coming up soon).

The first 3 rooms that have to get completed are the kids, but of course they all need:

New Floors
Smooth Ceilings
New Closet Systems (since our closets are so much smaller in this house)
Add New Paint
Install New Trim Around The Windows
Order and Install New Blinds
New Light Fixtures
Install New Baseboards

I will be so happy once they are in their rooms. It will be nice for them to get their own space.

After that we will tackle the kids/hallway bath. This will actually be my son’s bath as well as the guests. The girls will have their own bathroom but it’s much larger and we probably won’t be able to redo it until next year.

We thought that since this one was in the hallway it would be best to redo so any guests can use it as well.

Not that we have any guests other than my parents cause my house is total disaster right now. 😩

Of course we need to remove the popcorn ceilings out of the rest of the main floor – kitchen, living and hallway.

The house is also a bit dark, so we need to add quite a bit of recessed lighting throughout.

I cannot tell you how relieved I am that my husband is in the electrical field.

Of course, I would also like to add shiplap throughout several areas of the main floor. Cause I just LOVE shiplap, I mean this is supposed to end up being a legit farmhouse in the end.

One of the things that I am looking forward to is building a pantry. This house does not have one and I have to go all the way down the hallway (to the linen closet) to get my food items.

Cause I totally set up my pantry in there. 😜

It’s not a terrible situation, but I love to forget stuff when I am cooking so most days it’s like running laps.

And my mom gave me a great idea of adding a pantry on the wall between the dining area and living area.

GENIUS! Now you know where I get it from. 😉

I’m so excited and I actually think I can do it all for about $200. I cannot wait to share what I plan for it, but this will most likely happen toward the end of the year.

Lastly for the inside, I would like to paint and decorate my master bedroom. It looks like gray walls, but it’s more of a beige color and it’s not pretty. So I hope I get to do that too.

Then for the outside.

You totally thought I was done, didn’t you?

Welp! Nope.

The outside of the house was really overgrown when we moved in. We have a lot of land but a lot of it is unusable because of the overgrowth. We also had (according to our neighbor) a previous pine beetle infestation issue and a lot of our pines got affected (especially this one that is completely DEAD and dangerously close to our house).

So we will be hiring out the removal of a lot of our problem trees.

If you live in Georgia you know that pine trees love to fall on houses and we don’t want that. Nor would we want one to fall while we are outside, so out they will go and in will come peace of mind.

And the crew coming has an amazing machine that brings such a new concept on tree removal you won’t want to miss. I will definitely record the process. We are looking forward to seeing it get done.

And there are 2 more things for the outside for sure.

One, is installing an above ground pool for the kids. We don’t live in a subdivision anymore and we don’t have access to amenities like that so we need to have our own. We have had one before and love them – they have come a long way and are so huge! Needless to say, the kids are excited about it.

And finally, one more thing for the kids is tackling the playhouse.

When we bought the house, we loved the idea of this playhouse/fort/treehouse.

But before we can get our kids to play on/in it, we want to make sure it’s structurally sound. We want to add new swings and a new slide.

I want to paint it white, add shutters, and basically give my kids the playhouse I never had. 😉

You know you would do the same!

And once the overgrowth is gone it will be a nice open and safe play space (that large tree to the right is not being removed, it’s actually a beautiful hard wood that will supply wonderful shade).

Okay, I am sure I probably missed something. That’s the list for now!

But I am curious to see what you are looking forward to seeing done the most. Let me know below!

If you like before and afters, the next several months are going to be candy to the eye! And I cannot wait to see all of this come together.

I hope to see you in the next one. Until then, adios!

Farmhouse Inspired Spring Decor DIY’s

Hello dear friends!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far. Things were a little crazy over the weekend since we were painting and moving some furniture pieces around the house so we can continue removing the popcorn ceiling in the remaining areas.

Popcorn ceilings are the worst! Ugh!

The good news is that we have a good process now that makes it easy for anyone to tackle this themselves and I cannot wait to share the tips and tricks we have for that, so stay tuned!

In addition, I have my Look for Less Challenge invitation for February up and my co-host for this month is Kat with According to Kat. If you plan on participating make sure to check out the rules in this previous post. This month’s Look for Less projects are due on February the 19th.

Now for today! I thought I would bring you some inspiration in time for Spring with these Farmhouse Inspired Spring Decor DIY’s. I love seeing what other creative bloggers come up with and some of these ideas are just darling!

So here we go…

This first DIY is from Kati over at Houseful of Handmade. Aren’t these precious!? And guess what, they aren’t real metal. They are faux metal wall planters and she shares exactly how to make them on her blog. Check out how easy these are to make.

The second Spring Decor Inspiration piece is from Melissa over at Create and Find. I LOVE this idea! These stripes are perfect and that sweet burlap is the perfect touch. You won’t believe how easy this was to make and how much it looks liker her inspiration piece.

The third inspiration piece is from my dear friend Michelle over at Our Crafty Mom. If you don’t like to spend too much time on an arrangement, this is the piece for you. It took her less than 15 minutes to make and it’s full of farmhouse touch. Sometimes the prettiest things can be so simple.

Now, if you wish to give your hands a little more action and want to take on something a little harder, then try your hand at these DIY plant hangers. Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone is both a blogger/youtuber and she’s been one of my all time favorites! She makes these look so easy too!

And it’s so easy to learn since she offers a blog post and video as well.

Looking for a simple table setting that looks elegant yet farmhouse chic? Then you will love this beautiful table setting from Roxanne over at The Honeycomb Home. Ferns, terra-cotta pots and a neutral palette. It’s so calm yet so Spring! I need to try this in my home.

Of course, there is no Spring decor without a wreath and I have two versions to share!

The first is a simple Eucalyptus wreath made from real greenery from the grocery store no less. It really doesn’t take much to add some greenery to your space! This too came from Roxanne over at The Honeycomb Home.

The second wreath is from Carmen over at Living Letter Home. The colors in the wreath are perfect! Not too soft and not too strong and I love the large scale of this and the addition of the “hello”. Plus, she coordinates this wreath with more Spring decor and everything comes together beautifully.

The following piece is one from yours truly. I made these sweet floral mason jar sconces with fairy lights and they were easier than you would think. I love how the softness of the flowers meet the rustic hook and wood board to create a perfect sconce for any farmhouse wall. Definitely one of my favorite DIY’s.

The next Spring decor inspiration is from Marianne at the Songbird Blog. These terra-cotta planters with a little bit of pastel colors, paired with the perfect flowers in pink and blue are darling! Another simple DIY with such a powerful impact that showcases exactly what Spring is about.

Of course, if terra-cotta pots aren’t your thing, then try something a little more unexpected.

Maria from Simple Decor Nature Blog uses rusty old diary containers and I couldn’t be more in love with these. It’s the perfect combination of old along with youthful blooming flowers. She shares several versions as well on her post!

Lastly, here is another DIY piece from me. If you aren’t into flowers (and that’s totally okay) but would still like ideas for “out of the box” thinking then perhaps you might want to try using something like split peas as a vase filler.

The peas bring the right touch of green, but very subtly. Those rustic hurricanes were a Dollar Tree DIY and you can find out how to create that rustic finish right here.

I hope you enjoyed this sweet little round up! I cannot wait for Spring weather now, can you?

Don’t forget to PIN and share this with your friends.

I will see you in the next one. Until then… adios!

Trash to Treasure Farmhouse DIYs

Some of the links below are affiliate links, for more information regarding affiliate links, please go to my disclosure page.

Happy Friday!

I could not be happier that the week is coming to an end. I had so much going on this week and I was only able to get 2 posts out. But this one is a great way to end the week, at least for me.😉

You know there are always things in our homes that we think of discarding without a second thought. Perhaps it’s leftover items from a previous project. Maybe you have empty containers, or things that just get forgotten over time and we forget that they’re even there.

No, just me? 🙃

Well, my dear friend Casey over at Coffee with My Sunshine invited me to co-host her “Using Trash to Create Treasure” Challenge on her YouTube channel. Of course, I was happy to oblige. She and I started YouTube about the same time and it has been so great to help each other along the way.

The premise is simple, take whatever might be considered “trash” around your home and make treasure out of it.

I went looking around my home and here are a few things I found (I did find more afterwards, but they aren’t pictured below).

Things found…

Cut poster boards from a project my husband did last month, that was leftover.
Leaves from when I did my Valentines topiary and wreath and only used the roses.
An old yankee candle that was completely used up and some cardboard crosses from packaging when I purchased some glass bowls from Dollar Tree.

I think I had a good base to start from.

I knew I wanted to create a farmhouse sign from the poster board. It looked like a chalk board so the first thing I did was get my Poplar boards that I always have on hand from Home Depot.

They come in 3 foot lengths and are only $1.05 a piece! Perfect for quick DIY’s.

I cut them so that they would fit slightly around the poster board.

I stained them with my favorite wood tint in Walnut. The reason I love this wood tint so much is that it is water-based and it doesn’t smell like stain so it’s perfect to work with in the winter months cause there are no harsh smells and you can use it indoors easily .

After I was done, I set that aside to dry and started working on the greenery. I took the leftover leaves from my Dollar Tree bushes and I took a round piece of heavy duty floral wire from the Dollar Tree that I already had.

I cut it to make one round piece and glued the ends to close it.

Then I glued leaves all around it to cover all of the purple.

I took more leaves and folded them in half in order to cut them into smaller leaves (to resemble like a boxwood leaf). Then I began gluing them all over the round piece.

If you have more than one color of leaf, the better it will look. I kept adding until I was happy with how it looked.

After my little wreath was done, I got the poster board and I added beautiful ticking stripe ribbon from Hobby Lobby that I had on hand, to one end of the poster board. I secured it by hot-gluing it to the back.

It was time to assemble the sign so I took the poplar boards and placed them faced down on the table.

I got some large craft sticks that I had, cut off the rounded ends and hot glued them on the sign in order to hold the pieces together (no power tools required since this sign is very light in weight).

Okay so next I added some more of that ribbon to the wreath.

I placed it on top of the first ribbon and hot-glued the top piece over the back of the poster board as well.

Then I added the frame (but didn’t glue it to the poster board yet).

It should look like this…

Then came the real fun!

I have had a Cameo for a while, just hadn’t had the time to use it, and today was the day!

I created the Spanish version of “Bless Our Home” and I was so excited to finally create my own personalized sign!

Which leads to a QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT!

Remember, when I said I will be opening my own online shop this year? Well, one of the items that I will be selling is decals for signs!

But that’s not the best of it, I haven’t seen anyone creating signs in Spanish or even Spanglish so I thought it would be perfect to be able to do that for my Spanglish community! I will have English, Spanish and Spanglish decals in my shop and I am so exited.

There are a lot of things I have to take care of and learn behind the scenes, but I am hoping to release my first designs in the next few weeks, fingers crossed!

Okay, so back to the finished sign!

Here she is!

I noticed that when I hot glued the poster board to the back of the frame I accidentally did it a little high and the work “Bendice” is kinda close to the frame, but hey at least it’s just poster board and I can always fix it later.

I mean look at that mini wreath! 😍

They were leftover leaves people!

I was so happy with how this turned out!

But wait, there’s more Trash to Treasure!!!

I created 3 more projects for the collaboration.

A ticking stripe etched glass candle Hurricane from the Yankee Candle Container (you can etch glass so easy with this).

I also created this Swiss Cross sign with the cardboard “crosses” and even more trash that I found when I was creating it.

This girl keeps ERRRRTHANG!

And then finally a heart made out of corks, more of the black poster board and ribbon.

If you love these, you can watch the tutorial on how I made them below.

Thrift Store Makeovers Episode 1

Some of the links below are affiliate links, for a better explanation, please see full disclosure here

Happy Monday!

I have a thrifted DIY for you all today, but this one is coming from a different angle.

Usually when I share a post like this, I share clear step by step tutorials that work out fine, but unfortunately not all of my DIY’s turn out that way. As a matter of fact, some of them hit some bumps and this one was one of them indeed.

Oh yes… 🤦🏻‍♀️

So for this post, I thought I would share everything I did (that I ended up NOT liking) and then the simple steps I took to actually get it to look the way I wanted to in the end.

Sometimes, it’s too easy to complicate things and that is just what I did here, but hey, we are all human.

Supplies I used (including some that didn’t make it to the end result):

Last week, I shared my thrift haul on my Youtube channel and I shared this cute metal tin. I loved the pattern and style, just not the color.

So I thought I would add some Peppercorn (which I LOVE by the way) to the base.

Then I added some Brushed Bronze to the top and bottom legs. This is the same Brushed Bronze paint I used on my faux vintage bells.

I even dry-brushed some on the peppercorn.

Then I dry-brushed some of my white chalk paint.

But it looked too intense. So I decided to add watered-down chalk paint to all of it and then wipe it off.

Talk about disaster!

I had to step back a minute and relax and rethink this through.

After an hour or so I came back and went back to the beginning. This time I painted everything (except for the feet and round handles) with the Brushed Bronze.

And then to age it, I mixed a little bit of the white chalk paint with the antiquing wax and literally began to finger paint! It was like I was back in elementary school.

And guess what?!

I actually had fun this time around!

As it turns out, that was all this piece needed.

So simple, yet so chic.

I love the textures and the bright bronze along with the white distressed look.

I added a little greenery and it was perfect.

And check out this side-by-side!

I was also happy to try out a new color. I love all things white, but this goes perfect with so many things as well (like my neutral Valentine’s DIY’s)

Since I was so happy with how this turned out I tried my had at another thrift store flip…

I love finding cute little urns in thrift stores and it doesn’t matter what they are made out of, you can give them a faux cement look! This is actually the second time I have done this and now I want to have a little collection of them.

If you are interested in seeing how I made this little urn look like a cement one, you can see the steps in the video below:

How to Make a Mood Board

Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. For more information on that, please see full disclosure

Happy Friday everyone! We made it!

I will be honest, I almost thought I wouldn’t. This week was super stressful, my littlest is getting sick and I don’t feel so great myself. I am looking forward to wrapping up the housework for the week today and spending a quiet evening relaxing with the family.

But before I do that I wanted to share how I create my mood boards for my home decor projects. This tutorial has been a long time coming and I have been asked so many times to share this on my YouTube channel, so today is the day!

Now, these are called so many things… mood boards, design boards, vision boards… and they are all okay.

If you have been here a while you would have seen these a time or two (or three of four). Like when I did my great room in my last house…

My kitchen in my last house…

And even my sunroom for our current house… (the list goes on).

And since I still needed to create one for my laundry room, I thought I would take you along so that you can see my exact process and how easy it is!

Now, you are probably wondering why I do this and if it is necessary.

Well, there are 2 main reasons I like to create them.

I have what you call the “squirrel” syndrome and I get distracted by all the pretty things. So I like to take all those things that I like and put them together in order to see if they actually go together well. I get that actual visual that either tells me “Yes, girl! That’s what I want!” or “Eh, you might want to keep tweeking.” And since I am a visual person, this helps me to create a cohesive look.
Again, the”squirrel” syndrome comes into place here as well. A Mood Board keeps me on track! I get distracted and tempted to buy things that I don’t need. By having this board, I get to stick to my key design elements and actually finish the entire project. Imagine that!

So if you are like me, and need a little bit of structure this is for you.

I created a video tutorial for this so you can actually see me in action. How I get images, crop them, add them and place them on my board.

So grab your coffee and take notes.

And here is what the final laundry room mood board looks like!

I think it turned out pretty well!

And if you are wondering about any of the sources above, here they are:

Barn Doors
Laundry Room Sign
Washer & Dryer
Mosaic Tiles (If you don’t know how to tile (or don’t wish to, I have a tutorial on how paint your floors to look like them and share where to get the stencils).
Rustic Shelves
Sage Cabinet
Laundry Basket
Metal Lint Bin
Grid Wire Small Bin with Canvas Liner
Glass Spray Bottles (Get a 5 Piece Mrs. Meyer’s Set for FREE with purchase)

Let me know what you think of the tutorial and how you like my vision board for my laundry room!

Don’t forget to PIN and share with your friends!

I will see you guys soon!

Until then, adios!
