Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

With the weather getting warmer here now, my husband and I will start renovating our home at a faster rate. We hope to take advantage of the nicer weather outside to get a lot more projects completed. If you have been following me on Instagram you know there is a lot more going on than just home renovation and your messages and support are always so kind. Thank you. 

With so many projects up ahead I realized that in order to be able to complete them (and stay sane ?) I needed a place to retreat to and wind down at the end of the day. A place where I can go to relax and recharge for the next day of work. And unfortunately I did not have one. 

Behold my very sad master bedroom. 

Master BEFORE 1 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

We literally moved in and planted our furniture in the space. The only thing that changed was the carpet (yep, the one that sent me to the hospital, remember that?). 

Master BEFORE 3 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

It was boring and it had golden walls. I hadn’t made an effort to put any decor up and each corner had little bits of clutter here and there. Frankly, at the end of the day I was just too tired and since no one ever saw our bedroom, it remained neglected. 


Master BEFORE 5 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

I am not going to lie, sharing these images on here is a little embarrassing, but even us DIYers often have these “dirty little secrets”. 

Master BEFORE 6 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

I literally had a moving box (unpacked) by the door. Yep!

Master BEORE 2 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

It was pretty bad and I had to do something about it before we continued on with our renovations. So I came up with the following mood board for the room. 

I knew I wanted calm colors for the space and I wanted to create a brick accent wall. But I couldn’t do real brick since I was on a strict budget. However, I still wanted to get the look. I also needed to keep my all white bedroom furniture (again budget) so I had to darken the walls a bit to balance it out. 

Below was my vision and I was really looking forward to getting started.

While I was actually making plans for this space the opportunity to work with Purple became available and I was beyond excited! We love Purple mattresses. As a matter of fact, we purchased one a couple of years ago and talked about it on our channel. 

We had purchased the original purple mattress and it has done very well for us, but now there are so many options as far as mattresses go. These beds are like no other and give you the best sleep. They have the most unique design and technology behind them.

Here are some fun facts…

Purple was started by 2 brothers: an actual rocket scientist and a tech comfort genius. They originally began their work to develop better cushions for wheelchairs. It soon evolved into more comfortable medical beds and then finally they were able to bring the comfort right home to you and me.  Their hyper elastic gel grid technology is what makes this mattress so unique. 

This mattress’s special grid offers durability, cooling features that prevent you from getting too hot at night, and giving you maximum support without the unnecessary pressure. The best thing about it is that it takes care of all our sleeping needs (even if my husband and I have different preferences on comfort). 

Screen Shot 2021 04 26 at 11.42.32 PM Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

 

The Purple 4 is so much thicker than our last mattress.  We decided to go with the Purple 4 because my husband is big guy who sleeps on his side snuggled with a ton of pillows (don’t tell him I said that). I am less “high maintenance” and prefer to sleep on my back, however, there is one thing we both love and that is feeling like we are sleeping on a cloud. As time goes by we both have come to appreciate softer surfaces to rest on. 

The Purple 4 provides us with just that. And while the original is still a great mattress, the difference in “lightness” is significant. It’s sturdy, yet soft at the same time.

The original is a comfortable mattress, but is more firm. The Purple 4 gives me the support I need sleeping on my back while making it extremely comfortable for my husband to sleep on his side. We wake up even more rested now (the only reason it can be hard to get out of bed, is because we are so comfortable in it).

It features a nice sleek look with a smooth quilted exterior.

Their pillows also feature their hyper elastic gel grid technology!

And not only do they have mattresses and pillows, but they have the most amazing soft stretchy sheets.  They come in several different colors now which makes this “neutral loving” lady so happy.

If you haven’t tried out Purple or wish to get more information on their sleep options, definitely check out Purple to see everything they have to offer. We even included more information in our video below!

BELOW you can watch how we transformed our new master bedroom STEP by STEP! 


Everything we used to make this space is included in the description box of the video above including paint colors, tools etc. 


Here is what the room looks like now…

So much better!

That my friends is a faux brick wall made from these panels you can by at your local hardware store. They look so real you would NEVER guess they weren’t. The full step by step instructions are in the video above. 

And can we talk about those walls? They are no longer golden!

The color is Clean Slate by Magnolia. 

Master Bedroom AFTER 6 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

I solved the small clutter issue by adding several storage pieces to the room in order to gather all the knick knacks. This allowed me to keep the room pretty simple. 

Master Bedroom AFTER 5 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

And then I made sure to add tons of layers of sheets and comforters on top of my new mattress so that it had that luxury hotel feel. My husband thinks it’s a bit much (LOL), but it feels like heaven! 

Master Bedroom AFTER 4 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

 I created a sitting area where the huge armoire used to be. 

My husband wants to leave it out of the bedroom and I am not sure I am convinced yet so we will see how that goes. ?

Master Bedroom AFTER 3 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

I added soft linen looking curtains on both sides of the window to soften the brick wall up. The walls are still a little bare but I hope to add some pieces to make it more homey. Right now I am just enjoying that brick wall. 

Master Bedroom AFTER 2 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

I did bring back my DIY sunburst mirror that I created in my last home. It had been in the basement stored all this time and it’s so good to see it back up. That sunburst is one my favorite DIY’s of all time. 

Master Bedroom AFTER 1 Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

But look at that wall! It’s my most favorite wall in the house now. The space just looks so different with it. And since my home is completely brick on the outside, the brick wall is not out of place. It feels as if it was there all along.  

My husband was skeptical of it at first, but I think I convinced him. ?

Master Bedroom AFTER  Calming Master Bedroom Makeover

And what about all those pillows? They may be a pain to put back on every morning, but it’s so worth it!

The room feels like a getaway now. 

What do you think of the new master bedroom? Do you like the changes? What do you think I should add to the bare walls? Should I bring the armoire back? Inquiring minds want to know….

One thing is for sure, I am so happy that I now have a space for my husband and I to relax. And we are so happy we are getting even better rest with our new purple mattress. The combination of better sleep and a calming space makes for a better wake up in the morning.

Don’t forget to check out more on all your sleep options here my friends! I cannot wait to enjoy this mattress for years to come. 

Wishing you all sweet dreams….

I will see you back here soon! 

Until then… adios!

Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

Every once in a while, I like to do compilation videos on my channel. This helps newer subscribers become familiar with any past DIYs that they haven’t seen yet and it also gives me the opportunity to group things in a video with a particular theme.

I have used Dollar Tree rope to create a lot of DIYs and I thought it would be great to round up some old ones and create some new ones, so that’s what I did.

I shared 12 ROPE DIYs in my recent video and in today’s post I am sharing one of those 12. This is a brand-new DIY and I think it’s perfect for the warmer months ahead. It has a coastal feel but it’s not too “themey” which is just the way I like it. 

The next bonus is that it’s super easy to make and really inexpensive.

Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

What you need:

  • Wreath Form
  • Nautical Rope
  • Regular Rope
  • Greenery 
  • Floral 
  • Hot Glue Gun and Glue

I took a green wreath form and wrapped 2 different types of Dollar Tree rope around (the nautical newer one and their original brown one). 

DIY Coastal Wreath 2 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

Quick note: when choosing your nautical rope make sure you select the same color. Some batches were dyed differently. I know it’s hard to tell, but the left rope below is more creamy and the one on the right is more gray. It may be subtle but it can affect your final look. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 1 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

Moving on…

You want to wrap your rope two at a time, making sure that they are nice and tight as you go around. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 3 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

You will notice that the rope will start to become more and more angled as you continue. This is due to the roundness of the wreath. You can go as far as you can without it being too much of a slant. 

Once it was too slanted, I decided to stop and continue my rope wrapping on the other side. You can see what I am referring to below. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 4 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

The good news is that I did not have to go all the way to the bottom since I was going to add greenery. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 5 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

I had some leftover palms from a previous DIY that I adhered with some hot glue.

Then I added one stem of pink flowers to the front. I didn’t want to add too many since in this case less is more. You can choose to add as many or as little as you want and you can use different colors of flowers as well. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 7 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

And that was pretty much it! I hot-glued small piece of jute to the back of the wreath and hung it up with a command hook.

DIY Coastal Wreath 8 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

It’s simple but the rope just makes a beautiful statement. And now that my door is a blue color, I think it looks perfect for summer!

 

DIY Coastal Wreath 10 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

I think the combination of the two ropes is stunning and so unique. Put this on your front door and your guests will love it for sure!

Hey there friends! Hope you are all having a wonderful week. The weather is getting warmer and I am loving every bit of it. I really enjoy working outside on projects and I would much rather do it in the warmth.

Lately, I have been running a little low on thrifted items to make over so I decided to go thrifting last week. I was able to venture out to some new stores and I came across some great finds! You can come shop with me and check out my entire haul here.

For this post we are going to focus on the jug (or vase, whichever you prefer?). I knew I had to have it the minute I saw it. At $6.99 it was a little on the high end for me, but I loved the shape and knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 1 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

I had come across these artisan vases online at Pottery Barn a few days prior and I was inspired to create something similar.

Look at those prices… yeah, that’s a no go from me. ?

Screen Shot 2021 03 02 at 10.30.33 PM Pottery Barn Artisan Vase DupeThe surface of the jug that I bought was not what I had in mind for my look and it had little recessed areas on the decorative florals that I needed to get rid of… so the first thing I did was get some joint compound.


Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 2 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

It was what I had on hand, however spackle could work for this too.

I made sure the surface was clean first, then I removed the sticker and sprayed it down with mix of 50/50 alcohol and water. I wiped it well and let it dry.

With some gloves, I then applied joint compound all over the jug, using my hands to create long strokes from top to bottom.

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 3 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

I let it dry and then came back in to do it again, making sure the entire surface was covered. Once both coats were dry I came in with a 220 grit sandpaper and smoothed out the ridges that were naturally created as I covered the jug with compound.

 

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 4 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase DupeAfter that was done I made sure to remove any excess sanding dust with a wet rag.

As you can see below, it wasn’t perfectly smooth but that’s how I wanted it since I did want it to look like an old handmade piece of pottery. 


Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 5 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

Next I took some chalk paint in the color milk jug (how appropriate) and gave the piece two coats.

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 6 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

Next was the fun part: distressing it to make it look like antique handmade artisan pottery! I mixed some of the milk jug paint with some of my favorite antiquing wax to darken the color a bit. 

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 7 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

Then I began to use a flat brush and started to drag the side of the brush (with some paint) along the surface of the jug. 

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 8 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

This process took a while for me since it was my first time trying… so I was winging it as I went.

The best thing about this though, is that you can do what you prefer for this process. You can add as much as you or as little paint for the “aging”. You can also choose to go with lighter or darker colors. 

This is extremely versatile and super fun!

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 9 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe 

I came in with just the antiquing wax in some areas to make the aging more obvious. One thing I also made sure to do was paint the inside of the vase that was exposed. I didn’t want to have green pottery showing through. 

In other areas of the jug I used a chip brush and I even incorporated vertical strokes. 

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 10 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

Once I was done, here is how it turned out! 

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 11 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase DupeIt turned out so good! And now I want more since this one is looking pretty lonely. Plus doing it again will give me more practice and time to test other modes of application. 

Pottery Barn Artisna Vase Dupe 12 Pottery Barn Artisan Vase Dupe

I just love how it looks with florals as well. I will say I wasn’t sure I could pull this off since I really wanted it to look authentic but I think I did pretty good.

Hello friends! 

Hope you are having a wonderful day! As warmer weather approaches I like to add more touches of blue throughout my home. One thing I enjoy doing is looking at high end home decor stores to gather inspiration and I happen to come across some cement tile prints on Ballard Design’s website. 

I love cement tile, but I never pay for the real deal which is why I painted my laundry room floors in my last house to mimic them. Ahhh, I miss those floors. 

How to Paint Linoleum Floors 10 Faux Cement Tile DIY

Don’t worry, this project is not that huge…. 

I had some small wood squares from Plaid so I thought I would create some faux cement tiles for to display and add a pop of color around my home. 

The first thing I did was paint the middle section with my favorite white chalk paint, White Adirondack. 

Faux Cement Tile DIY 1 Faux Cement Tile DIY

Next, I used my Folkart Aged Glaze to stain the border frame. 

Faux Cement Tile DIY 2 Faux Cement Tile DIY

Then I uploaded 3 different stencil patterns to my Cricut Design Studio and made some stencils using Cricut’s  stencil vinyl. 

Faux Cement Tile DIY 3 Faux Cement Tile DIY
I used my weeding tool to remove the small pieces from the stencils and then used some inexpensive clear contact paper as transfer tape to adhere it onto the small frames. Faux Cement Tile DIY 4 Faux Cement Tile DIY

Once I got the placement right I used some Folkart Chalk Paint in the color Nautical to fill in the stencil. 

Faux Cement Tile DIY 5 Faux Cement Tile DIY

I waited a little bit and then once the paint was a little dry I removed the stencil vinyl. 

Faux Cement Tile DIY 8 Faux Cement Tile DIY

And that was it! These were so simple to make. And the best part is that you can choose the color and the design and it will cost so much less than the real thing! 

You know I am always down for that!

I even love how they coordinate with my thrifted tray that I transformed and my Goodwill candleholders.  I feel Spring fast approaching already.

What do you think? Would you make some of these yourself? I love that they are not only super simple to make, but that they still have a high end look without the expense!

Hey there! Hope you are well and staying warm. It is a cold, but sunny day here in Georgia.

It’s been a while since I have done a furniture makeover and I thought it would be a nice time to share a new one. This is something I really love doing, but lately with all of the renovations, honestly, it’s hard to find the time.

I love picking up items from FB Marketplace and you can really score some good deals on there. I especially love getting items for FREE! It doesn’t happen to often so when it does it’s even sweeter!

I came across a listing for a side table. It was a free porch pick up and I was lucky enough to be the first person to respond.

Free Table Transformation 1 Free Table Transformation

The table had some water damage on the top, but the rest still had good bones.

I knew I wanted to paint it right away. So the first thing I did was tape off the straps to the legs and the bolts that held them together.

Free Table Transformation 2 Free Table Transformation

I used the color French Linen to paint the bottom part. For my application, I knew I wanted a smooth finish so I used a flat brush. And because I wanted a flawless finish I had to give the piece 3 full coats of paint.

Free Table Transformation 3 Free Table Transformation

It may seem like a small task, but with all of the pieces and the 4 sides to each piece it took a little longer than I expected. Plus, I took my time with the painting and made sure to use long even strokes.

Free Table Transformation 4 Free Table Transformation

Then I focused my attention on the tray (top) portion of the table. I thought it would look nice with a two-tone look so I decided to paint this part in White Adirondack.

Free Table Transformation 5 Free Table Transformation

I made sure to cover all of the corner metal pieces with painters tape since I really liked them the way they were.

Free Table Transformation 7 Free Table Transformation

Then I proceeded to paint with the same flat brush using long strokes.

RELATED: Thrifted Table Transformation

Free Table Transformation 6 Free Table Transformation

After the third coat dried, I decided to smooth out the tray with fine sandpaper and distress the edges. Since I knew this piece would get used quite a bit, eventually it would get some wear so I might as well make it look like that on purpose.

I did not distress the legs though.

When I was done sanding I made sure to seal both pieces with Debi’s Design Diaries’ clear wax and let it cure overnight.

Free Table Transformation 8 Free Table Transformation

The final step was to use my favorite grasscloth contact paper that I had already used for a thrifted tray makeover and my husband’s old humidor box.

I seriously love this grasscloth contact paper. It’s textured, has a nice neutral color and I still have more left over so it was well worth getting and it’s not even expensive! 

Free Table Transformation 9 Free Table Transformation

I like to cut my contact paper really close to the edges of the piece and then roll it out gently, pulling the backing away as I go. I find this gives you the flattest application with almost no bubbling. 

If you wear socks while you do this, it comes out even better. Just sayin’! ?

Free Table Transformation 10 Free Table Transformation

Once the paper was on, it was ready to set up and style next to the couch!

Free Table Transformation 11 Free Table Transformation

I love how it turned out and I’m glad that I gave it a two-toned look. The grasslcoth contact paper adds some more dimension and texture as well as protect the piece.

In addition the wax seals the piece and protects it from scuffs and smudges.

It’s definitely not bad considering that I got it for free and used paint and supplies that I already had on hand. Tell me what you think below!

Hey friends! 

Hope you are all having a great day! I am still trying to only use the things I already have in my home in order to bring you some DIY inspiration.

My wallet (and hubby) are thankful. 

For today’s project I am taking some old cording (that I bought several years ago to slipcover a chair… ask me if I made that slipcover ?) in order to make a basket. I am also using some old felt sheets, Dollar Tree leftover rope and a Dollar Tree Christmas container. 

Trash to Treasure Rope Basket 2 Trash to Treasure Rope Basket

Since I didn’t have enough white felt sheets, I picked the gray for the bottom and the white for the sides. I cut them accordingly and glued them inside the basket with hot glue. 

Trash to Treasure Rope Basket 3 Trash to Treasure Rope Basket

And I tried to keep the seems as close as possible while I worked my way around. 

RELATED: Thrifted Candleholder Makeover 

Trash to Treasure Rope Basket 4 Trash to Treasure Rope Basket

Once I finished the inside, I moved to the outside and began to hot glue the cording around it.

Trash to Treasure Rope Basket 5 Trash to Treasure Rope Basket

Once I got to just over the middle of the container, I switched it out for some white leftover rope that I had on hand from my decorative sphere DIYs. I only had enough to go around twice so I decided to make a unique pattern. 

Trash to Treasure Rope Basket 5 1 Trash to Treasure Rope Basket

I wrapped the white rope around the basket once. Then I added Dollar Tree’s nautical rope (wrapped it twice) and then added another layer of white rope once. 

Trash to Treasure Rope Basket 6 Trash to Treasure Rope Basket

After that I used the cording once again, but before I got to the top, I wrapped the handles with thin leather strips (made for jewelry). I glued them on really tightly and and continued to wrap the cording to the top. My main focus was to cover every since bit of red. 

Trash to Treasure Rope Basket 7 Trash to Treasure Rope Basket

Finally, I added a bit of cording on the inside of the basket to cover the seams of the felt sheets and make it look more finished. 

Trash to Treasure Rope Basket 8 Trash to Treasure Rope Basket

And that was it!

My basket is complete and I am happy that I had scraps of rope that allowed me to get even more creative! Because of this I was able to make a unique pattern on the basket. Instead of it being just one note, it has more detail and I think it will work great for hand towels.

I am also glad I took the time to do the inside as well. It just makes it look finished.

Replacing Interior Doors

Replacing Interior Doors

*This post is sponsored by Woodgrain and some of the links below are affiliate links. For more detailed information please see full disclosure.*

I believe that the toughest jobs can be accomplished with the right tools.

Would you agree? 

I am really happy to finally be creating this post as it means that we have completed yet another huge project in our house – the interior doors. We have replaced all of them! ??

Most houses on the market come with builder grade doors and this house was no exception, except our doors were in really bad shape. They were old, dirty, smelly and just plain outdated. 

Just look for yourself…

Replacing Interior Doors 2 Replacing Interior Doors

These are the same doors you see in 90% of homes today. I mean, let’s be serious, those doors did NOT go with these windows…

Window Trim 12 Replacing Interior Doors

And then there was the door to the basement with the smallest “doggy” door in the world… we don’t have pets FYI. 

Also, brass knobs? No thanks! 

Replacing Interior Doors 1 Replacing Interior Doors

I was on a mission… a mission to customize our home by replacing our interior doors…. all of them! 

We have partnered with Woodgrain when we cased out our windows (shown above) and we have partnered again with them for this makeover as well. They have the best quality custom interior doors with an extensive selection of door patterns and styles to suit any home with any aesthetic. 

My husband and I decided to go with a more simple craftsman style door.

It’s simple but pairs beautifully with our cottage farmhouse style. It can also be used in more modern or transitional decor by simply painting them a color other than white. 

Either way the difference is amazing! 

Doors Before After Replacing Interior Doors

If you have ever considered replacing an interior door, two doors or even all the doors to your home the thought can seem pretty daunting, but I want you to know everything you need in order to start the process.

This tutorial will be in video format for you to get the best instruction possible, but I want to go over the tools you will need ahead of time.  

First thing’s first, doors come in slabs – this means the door will come in one solid piece. No hinges, no holes, no knobs… nada. You will need to do the rest. 

So, you will be drilling holes and making notches, but rest assured it’s simpler than you think. 

Tools

The first tool you need to know about is the door hinge kit and we use this one from Ryobi.  

Doors 6 Replacing Interior Doors

This will allow you to create a template for you to go over and notch out the where the hinge goes.  You will do this with a router. We own this one shown below. 

The hinge kit is adjustable to any hinge size and stays firm on your door while you notch it out. 

Doors 7 Replacing Interior Doors

We decided to replace our hinges so we went with these hinges to match our hardware. 

Doors 8 Replacing Interior Doors

If you measure everything correctly, you will get a perfect fit. 

Doors 9 Replacing Interior Doors

Before you do anything else you will need to hang the door back on to its frame. 

And then you will need another kit, a door lock installation kit.  This mechanism will allow you to place it on the door to fit the latch on the frame perfectly. We show you exactly how in the video below. 

Doors 11 Replacing Interior Doors

After your holes are done, you will need your final kit, a door latch installation kit. This will help create the template that will allow you to notch out the latch area. 

Doors 12 Replacing Interior Doors

You will need to use your router again for this. 

Doors 13 Replacing Interior Doors

Then it’s time to install your hardware. 

We chose these knobs and I am in love! The rectangular piece in the back mimics the pattern on our doors and I love that antique bronze look. We bought them here.

After that it was time to paint the doors and I used my trusty Sherwin Williams paint that I use for all of my cabinets and trim.

Aren’t they so much better than what was there before? This seems like such a simple idea, but when you finally see how drastic a change a gorgeous well made door is in your home, it elevates everything else in the space!  

It’s no longer cookie cutter, builder grade blah… it’s a statement!

These doors are solid and heavy. They are built differently than builder grade doors since they are not made with particle board. They have an interior wood slat that is flanked by two thick MDF pieces in order to create the crispest lines when cutting the customized pattern on the doors.

And it’s like those doorknobs were specifically made for those doors!

What’s even more exciting is that now that I have all of these architectural details added to my home, I can finally start transforming the rest of my rooms!

And nothing speaks more than a side-by-side.  

I want to give my husband, The Latino Engineer, a huge shoutout. He was the lead in this project and I was his assistant and painter. I think he did an amazing job!

Hey there friends and happy Wednesday! I am back and I have an amazing thrift store makeover for you all.

Do you love candleholders as much as I do! If you are here you probably do!  

I found these at my local Goodwill and they only cost me 99 cents each! Score!

They had good bones, but I thought we could do even more with them. 

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 1 1 Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover

First thing I did was clean them with some rubbing alcohol (why are things at thrift stores always sticky?!). 

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 1 2 Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover

Next, I took some wooden beads from my stash and with the help of some bakers twine, I wrapped them around the top of the candle stick and around the bottom. I secured them with hot glue.

Make sure they are on there well.

Afterwards, I took some chalk paint in Sandstorm and painted them (I actually painted only one, but more on that in a bit). 

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 4 Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover

Once the paint was dry I took some spackle from Dollar Tree and applied it all over the nooks and spaces between the beads. 

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 5 Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover

I did that to both the top beads and the bottom beads… are you cringing yet? ?

Trust the process….

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 6 Thrift Store Candleholder MakeoverYou want to let the spackle cure overnight so that you can come back the next day and sand everything down. If you don’t give it enough time, the spackle will crumble and fall off in this next step. 

As you can see, I added the spackle to candlestick below without paint. I did this to see if it was better to apply the spackle before painting it with chalk paint. I actually found that the spackle sticks better with one coat of chalk paint already on. 

You’re welcome. ?

In this process, you want to remove all of the excess spackle and bring back out the wooden beads. Make sure everything is as smooth as possible. Take your time with this. The more effort the better it will turn out in the end. 

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 8 Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover

After I sanded everything I made sure to clean off the surfaces before applying two coats of chalk paint. 

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 9 Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover

Then I came in with Debi Design Diaries white wax and began applying it all over the candleholder. I wanted to make sure that all the nooks and cracks got some of it. 

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 10 Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover

I even used and artist brush at times and it really helped out. 

Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover 11 Thrift Store Candleholder Makeover

Finally after that wax dried, I came in with my Folkart home decor clear wax and sealed everything. I removed all of the excess wax and allowed them to cure overnight.

 And that was a wrap!

These are PERFECT for spring! And they go so well on my coffee table in my sunroom along with several other thrifted flips… can you spot them? 

You know which ones they are if you saw my latest video cause I have 6 more ideas where these came from below! 



It’s like they were meant to be this way. I am not gonna lie, these took several days to make, but I had a vision and I wanted to make them work.

Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

Hey there and Happy Friday! I have a little bonus blog post for you and it’s another Valentine’s DIY!

For this one, I am using 4 of the canvas frames (5″ x 7″) from Dollar Tree in order to make a lantern. These frames were back from my Christmas Haul and I was supposed to make something for Christmas out of them, however I never got to it. 

But hey! It still worked out. 

Make sure you scroll to the end for even more DIYs! 

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 1 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

The first thing you need to do is remove the canvas.

RELATED: DIY Valentine’s Wreath

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 2 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

Next you want to remove the staples. If anyone tells you this is easy, you are being lied to. Holy moly, it took me forever to remove them! 

An hour later, I was left with a ton of holes! I didn’t like the way they looked so I had some Dollar Tree spackle and used it to fill in the holes.

Once the spackle was dry, I sanded everything smooth.

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 3 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

I put them together with some wood glue to create the shape of a lantern. 

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 4 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

Then, I painted the lantern in my favorite white chalk paint.

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 5 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

After the paint dried I came in with my Rustoleum Aged Glaze and applied a light coat all over with a lint free rag.

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 6 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

I then took these cute Dollar Tree hearts that were new this year (they come 5 to a pack) as well as this new striped ribbon in order to hang it from each side. And I cut the ribbon in 4 pieces that were all the same length.

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 7 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

Then I glued the center tip of the heart to the center tip of the ribbon with hot glue to secure it in place. And then I hot glued the end of the ribbon over and under the top of each frame that way there were no ribbon ends exposed on the inside of the lantern.

Once all 4 sides were done that was it! All I needed was a candle to place inside.

I love the rustic touch this brings to my decor but it still has that romantic shabby chic feel.

Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! Today I have a simple Valentine’s DIY that you can recreate with items you may already have at home.

My goal for this year is to not buy too many unnecessary things, especially when it comes to crafting. I will be taking that into consideration whenever I bring you DIY’s going forward. Oftentimes what happens is that crafters and DIYers like me end up buying “all the things” because we think we can make “all the things” but honestly life gets in the way. And then we don’t get everything done that we wanted to in the first place. In the end we are left with a stash of unused crafting items. Ugh.

Trust me, I know… (consider this an insider’s look into a DIYer’s life, ha!)

 This presents several problems:

  1. Unused items that will take up space and clutter my home
  2. Spending unnecessary funds (that’s nicer than saying “wasting money”?)
  3. Disappointment and guilt 

So… we are nixing all that this year!

Seriously… the only thing I bought new for today’s DIY was the heart wreath form and that only cost $1. The rest was left over from my DIYs from last year.

I said it was a problem. ?

You will simply need a wreath form in the shape of a heart, khaki colored ribbon (or any of your choice) and faux florals. 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 1 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

>>>As always you can follow this tutorial on my Youtube Channel. <<<

The first thing I did was cut the ribbon in half to make thinner strips. Since it is so wide it would have been too hard to wrap around the wreath.

RELATED: Neutral Valentines Day Decor 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 2 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Then I hot-glued the end of the ribbon to the center wreath wire from behind and I began to wrap it around (hot gluing on the back as I continued around).

*In order to make this look nice and clean you want to make sure you space out the ribbon evenly as you wrap it around.

I didn’t have to worry about bringing the ribbon back down to cover the wreath form completely because I was going to cover that area with the roses.

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 3 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

The first thing I did was remove the rose heads from the stems.

I took the leaves of the bushes as well and began to glue them onto the bottom third of the wreath. I did this in order to have some back fill.

Then I placed the roses on the wreath. I used hot glue to secure them. 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 4 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

*Now, in order for the roses to lay flat you will have to cut off the stem to the very end, but if you do this the rose will unravel because nothing is holding it together. So, in order to prevent this I like to add hot glue between the petals to make sure the whole flower stays intact.

I placed the lighter roses on the top and the darker roses on the bottom.

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 5 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Once I was happy with how it looked I added a little piece of jute string to the back with hot glue to hang it up.

And that was it!

It looks awesome on my front door (it also helps that I just painted it, LOL!). 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 6 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

I love that it’s not cheesy and over the top, yet still has that “romantic feel”. 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 7 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

And the best part about it is that it only cost me $1 (everything was left over from last year with the exception of the heart form ??).

Hey everyone! How was your weekend? I hope you were able to enjoy some time with family and friends. It has been pretty chilly here these past few days and I have been cozying up by the fire inside our house. 

I mean, is there anything better than a wood burning fireplace??? ?

As promised, I am back with my other post that I talked about last week. This post has been a long time coming, however, since it has been just my hubby and I that do this as we progress through our house (and he has a full time job), this project has taken a little longer than expected. 

But alas, here we are! 

The minute we walked into our new home I noticed something immediately – there were no casings around my windows.

They looked naked. ?

I had never owned a home without window casings before and the windows just looked bizarre to me. I knew that the windows were going to have to be addressed at some point. 

Of course, we had to remove the popcorn ceilings, repaint the walls, remove and install new flooring, replace the baseboards and fix the kitchen…. 

So after all of that was done it was time to get started.

Window Trim 11 DIY Window Trim

I went to Pinterest to see what kind of inspiration was out there and naturally, I went to Canva to draw up what I had in mind after I decided on a look.

This is what I ended up with.


You can also watch the video tutorial on Youtube as well!  


Window Trim 1 copy DIY Window Trim

I used 3 different sized pieces of millwork for my window casing. I wanted a large 5.5″ inch (actual size) millwork piece for the top. 1.5″ pieces for the top trim pieces and 3.5″ pieces for the sided and below the window sill. 

Window Trim 2 copy DIY Window Trim

I didn’t want the casing to be just a square so  I wanted the top part and the sill to come out the sides a little more. 

Window Trim 3 copy DIY Window Trim

They ended up being 1.5″ wider than the side casings. Feel free to take a screen shot and save these images for future reference if you wish to do something similar. 

Window Trim 4 copy DIY Window Trim

Once the drawings were done, it was time to get to work. The first thing we needed to do was demo the existing window sills. You will need to score the edges with a box cutter and then use a hammer and crowbar to remove the existing sill. 

 

Window Trim 2 DIY Window Trim

Once you remove the sill, you need to make sure that all the nails are removed and any debris is vacuumed up with a shop vac.

Window Trim 3 DIY Window Trim

Then it was time to cut the new casings! 

For this we used Woodgrain’s Finished Elegance millwork from their Timeless Craftsman collection. The pieces are all pre-primed and their finish is super smooth. They are all cut with square edges that are slightly rounded so the corners aren’t so harsh. 

Woodgrain is celebrating 65 years of manufacturing and their dedication to providing great wood products is exceptional. They offer millwork of all styles and they are both manufacturer & distributor of their wood products. I was honored to actually go and visit one of their distribution centers here and they have such an amazing operation. Woodgrain also manufactures doors and windows. 

Another great thing about Woodgrain is that they really consider the environment. Whenever lumber goes through their sawmills and millwork facilities they capture the wood fibers and shavings from when they cut down the lumber and then use that for animal bedding (the type used in stables etc.). That’s pretty awesome! 

And the best thing about their millwork is that you can buy it at your local Home Depot. So, if you are looking to update your home, definitely give their products a try! 

Okay… so after we took the necessary measurements we cut each window based on their exact measurements. Since our home is older we knew that there were going to be slight differences here and there.

We used our miter saw to cut the pieces to length, and used the jigsaw only for the window sills. 

Window Trim 1 DIY Window Trim

Next, we set the sill in place and nailed the sill in with a brad nailer. 

Window Trim 5 DIY Window Trim

We placed the sill first and then the 2 side pieces. We made sure to use liquid nails along with the brad nailer to install the rest of the trim. 

Window Trim 4 DIY Window Trim

The top piece was assembled before it was installed as shown below. 

Window Trim 9 DIY Window Trim

Finally, the last piece that was installed was the trim piece that went underneath the window sill. 

Window Trim 6 DIY Window Trim

After everything was attached, we went in with Woodgrain’s Finished Elegance caulk and made sure to seal all the seams so that it looked like the window casings were always there. 

Window Trim 7 DIY Window TrimAnd even though these are pre-primed I still went in with my favorite paint to cover all of the nail holes and the sides that were cut exposing the MDF. I wanted to make sure everything was seamless and that the casings matched my new baseboards as well. 

Window Trim 8 DIY Window Trim

After everything was done, this is how they turned out! 

Window Trim 12 DIY Window Trim

They totally changed the look of the windows!

By adding casing in this design the windows look even bigger and are now a focal point in the rooms.  

Window Trim 13 DIY Window Trim

And they go perfectly with our new Woodgrain baseboards!

Window Trim 15 DIY Window Trim

What do you think of the change? Here is a side by side.

Now, there were a few windows in the home where we could not case out the windows completely because of the lack of space between them. So, we made sure to replace the window sills and paint everything light and those windows still look great!

I am extremely pleased with their new look and how simple it was to add so much character and value to our home.

*This post is sponsored by Lamps Plus and some of the links below are affiliate links. For more detailed information please see full disclosure.* 

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I took a much needed break and I will be honest it has been hard getting back to the rhythm of things. There are a couple of posts that I am excited to share with you all and then going forward for the rest of the year I decided to figure out a better schedule for myself. 

As of right now I will be doing one post and one video per week. I am hoping it will give me adequate time to get each video and coordinating blog post out at the same time (which is something I really want to do for this new year). This is not to say that there may be more than that per week on occasion, but there should always be a new one every Wednesday. ??

Okay back to our scheduled programming…. ??

One of the things I have been dying to tackle for a while now is our sad dining area. It’s actually comprised of 3 areas: the entrance, the dining room and the transition space from the dining room to our newly updated kitchen. 

First off, the entrance is so sad. The door is outdated and the furniture in the area is a mismatch of items that we kept after we sized down to our new home. We sold a lot of things on FB Marketplace and only kept the essentials. This meant that not everything went together. 

Dining Before 8 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

The large dark cabinet is an entertainment center and the blue cabinet is a really old makeover when I first started painting furniture…. I have come a long way folks . ?

Dining Before 7 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

The entertainment console (as you can see from this angle) also weighs everything down and blends into the dark floors giving no character at all to the wall behind it. And the lamps are outdated and just between you and me, the one on the right doesn’t work anymore. ?

Dining Before 4 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

The secretary you see on the corner will be a furniture flip I will share here soon. The fireplace is also outdated and will eventually be given a facelift… just not today! 

Dining Before 2 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

In regards to the dining table, that is actually a new purchase off of Facebook marketplace. We sold our old dining table and purchased this one. I love how it’s so large and fits the room perfectly so that is definitely staying. 

Dining Before 5 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Finally, lighting has been a huge issue as well. We only have one large window in this space and it’s underneath a porch so not much light shines through. You can see below that there are areas more lit than others and I still have the ceiling fan base up after we took off the blades to remove the popcorn ceiling.

Yep! Full transparency here folks!?

Dining Before 3 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

You can also see how sad this transition wall to the new kitchen is. It had no character and looked extremely cluttered with all of the items we were keeping on top of my old coffee bar table (originally an IKEA hack). 

Dining Before 6 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

So I am sure you can see how all of this was driving me crazy! Everything was disjointed and not coordinating at all. 

Dining Before 1 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

I will say that one thing I do love about the space are the window casings that my hubby and I installed ourselves (more on that soon!). I am also grateful for our floors being done, the updated wall color and new baseboards that we replaced. 

So in essence the place has good bones, but it just needs a furniture and decor overhaul.

Dining Before 9 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

So I got to work!

Initially I had wanted to turn the transition space into a pantry because I currently walk all the way down the hall, but I did several renderings and honestly, all of the options I liked were just too large and overpowering for the space. Plus, there was still the issue of the area being too dark. 

So I nixed that. 

Transition 2 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Pantry shown above is a design from Ana White*

I decided that I wanted to make this a feature wall instead with lighting, shelving and a unit that would not only give me style but storage.

Transition 1 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Lamps Plus reached out to me during the time I was planning everything and wanted to be a part of the transformation so I checked out what their website had to offer. And let me tell you their selection was amazing! 

Not only do they have lighting options for all areas of your home, in different styles and for different budgets, but they also had home decor accents and furniture pieces to transform any space in your home. 

I went to Canva online in order to put together a rendering of the entire space to make sure that I coordinated everything for a seamless flow, but also to make sure that there was adequate lighting in the space with what they had to offer. 

And this is what I came up with. 


As always you can watch the transformation on my YouTube Channel as well. 


Country Floral Wall Stencil Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Now while some of these pieces were not what I ended up going with in the end, this gives you an idea of what it will look like when everything came together. 

The most complicated and time consuming part of the project was the transition wall. This included hardwiring sconces to our existing electrical and then stenciling the entire wall and adding shelves.

I chose this stencil and decided to give the wall a very light painting treatment. I didn’t want to overpower the space with too many things going on, but adding a stencil gave it a more high end and cozy feel.

1 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Once the hardwiring was complete thanks to my awesome husband (don’t worry, he is professionally trained), it was time to add the actual sconces. 

2 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

After that was complete we picked up these brackets and installed them on the wall with some wood pieces that I stained to match my existing plate rack in my kitchen wall. 

Also, the screws that worked for this installation were silver, but I took some metallic black paint to camouflage them. 

3 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Once that was done, I added some drapes to the window at the front. The window (while it looked amazing with the new casing) was still lacking something and adding the drapes I used in my office at the last house worked perfectly for this. 

4 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Finally, I couldn’t leave my front door as is. It was outdated and dingy and I couldn’t wait to give it a facelift so I used Magnolia’s Wedding Band in a Semi-Gloss to give it a refresh. Perhaps someday in the future I can replace it, but for now, this will do. 

5 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Once the larger pieces arrived and we set them up, it was time for the accessories. Most of the accessories I used were from our last house, but they paired perfectly with the new pieces from Lamps Plus. 

For example, this task lamp from Lamps Plus was perfect for the entrance. I paired it with this greige table and added items to the shelf on the bottom. 

7 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Plus, I love the fact that this table lamp is so unique and it has a base that allows you to plug in your phone or tablet to charge. So handy!

8 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

On the other side of the entrance I added this server that functions as 3 things: storage, another entrance table and a buffet when needed. Win-win-win!

Plus, look at how much those lamps light up the space. It doesn’t feel as dark anymore. 

Dining Area Reveal 3 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Again I used more of my old decor for the area and replacing my outdated lamps with these made a huge difference -plus they were more my style. 

9 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Replacing the chandelier was the only thing needed over by the actual dining table. But by just doing that it elevated the space so much and created such a focal point! 

Dining Area Reveal 4 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Now, over to what is possibly my favorite area of them all – the transition space. I LOVE how this came together exactly how I envisioned it. It doesn’t look like the same space anymore (as a matter of fact, it even looks larger!). 

Dining Area Reveal 2 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

And not only does everything work perfectly to get that high end Cottage Farmhouse style, but the light this space now has is amazing.

The stencil gave it that personal touch, the shelves filled in the empty wall space, the storage console gave me storage and a surface to place things on and the sconces added so much life to this dreary space. 

Dining Area Reveal 1 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

Look at how everything came together and brightened up the entire space! 

JUST WOW! I am so in love! Do you have a favorite piece from the updated space?  I would love to know below! 

Dining Area Reveal 7 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

It’s definitely a huge change from before and the look of everything is elevated! The space looks more cohesive and sophisticated.

The best part about this is that there was no huge demo involved. By adding one pair of sconces, replacing the current light fixture above the dining table replacing the outdated lamps and adding one task lamp by the entrance, I resolved all of my lighting issues. In addition, by adding some key pieces of furniture with similar materials and styles the entire space was transformed. 

Another great thing was that I was able to accessorize with things that I already had on hand allowing me to appreciate everything even more. 

Dining Before 3 Cottage Farmhouse Dining Room Reveal

If you are looking at updating your space with either new lighting and/or furniture I would highly recommend Lamps Plus as they have such a large online selection with different styles and price points.

In addition, their items ship fast and their furniture pieces are packaged so well in order to protect them during delivery. We were really impressed with the care of packaging because in the past we have received items from other vendors that were damaged, split or broken so that definitely is important to us. Plus the quality of the actual product is hard to beat! 

I look forward to seeing you all back here very soon!

Hot Cocoa Tiered Tray

Hot Cocoa Tiered Tray

Hello and Happy Day 12 of my 12 Days of Christmas! We made it and I thought I would end it with something simple and sweet. I love hot chocolate, but frankly I don’t have an area for a whole decked out cocoa bar. And frankly I don’t need one. 

I am a simple girl and only need a few ingredients for my hot cocoa: hot cocoa powder, milk and marshmallows. Seriously that is it for me and I am a happy girl. 

No bombs, no cinnamon, no peppermint… nada!

So I thought I would share my hot cocoa tiered tray with you all in case you are like me and prefer the simple is better approach. 

CHECK OUT the rest of days in case you missed one!

I got this tiered tray from Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago (they still carry it). And it’s perfect for festive displays like this. 

Hot Cocoa Tiered Tray 6 Hot Cocoa Tiered Tray

I like to put hot cocoa powder and marshmallows into mason jars to give it a nice rustic look. And even though I don’t like peppermint in my hot cocoa, I always like to add candy canes to my tiered tray to add to the Christmas feel. 

I even add a little ribbon to the mason jar to make it more festive. 

Hot Cocoa Tiered Tray 2 Hot Cocoa Tiered Tray

I made this cute beaded garland with an ornament at the end that reads “Hot Cocoa Station” – you can see how easy it was to make in this video.

I added a few more touches like a birdhouse ornament from Day 4, some tea towels, a mini cake stand and white ceramic creamer.

Dollar Tree Mini Christmas Tree Decor

Hello friends! Hope you are doing well! Today is Day 11 of my 12 Days of Christmas and I am going to have to apologize from the get-go. My plan was to create a detailed post on these Christmas trees, but my husband has been dealing with the manflu and since I have been taking care of him, guess who now is feeling under the weather??? 

Ugh! I love taking care of family when they are sick, I just don’t want to get sick myself, but here we are…

So I will have to give my self a little grace and take it easy or else there won’t be a Day 12. I did try to make it up by adding 2 different DIYs and one of them in a Pottery Barn Dupe! 

I was able to edit the video tutorial for both, but I didn’t have enough strength to edit the images… Video is included  below for you. All you have to do is click PLAY. 

CHECK OUT all of the 12 Days of Christmas here!

Here are what the first set looks like.

I used popsicle sticks and thumbtacks to create the look of metal corners on the larger crate. I have a full and detailed tutorial on how to create a faux galvanized look on anything in this Youtube video.

The larger trees are new from Dollar Tree this year and I used white pom poms to act as snow.

For the second DIY, I recreated the trees below. The cheeseboards from Pottery Barn are so pretty but too expensive so I recreated the look for less.

I used Dollar Tree wood tree cutouts and painted them with my favorite white chalk paint and Aged Glaze to give them a similar look.

And even though these aren’t cheeseboards, you can still enjoy how closely they resemble the original inspiration pieces and use them as decor.

5 Minute Dollar Tree Christmas Wreaths

5 Minute Dollar Tree Christmas Wreaths

Hey there friends! Hope you are all doing well! Today is day 9 of the 12 days of Christmas and this time we are doing some 5 minute farmhouse inspired Christmas wreaths out of Dollar Tree items. 

I didn’t mean to make most of these Dollar Tree DIYs, however, I had the items so I might as well use them. 

There will be 2 versions of these wreaths and I will show the second below, however, I will only share the instructions for the white one. If you wish to see the red and khaki one you can always check out the Youtube video on my channel.

I had some of these cloths from Dollar Tree on hand and you can find them in the automotive section.

So I cut them into strips and began to wrap them around these Dollar Tree wreaths. The smaller ones come 2 to a pack. I added hot glue every so often to the wreath to make sure the cloth was secured on properly.

Next I had this wooden tree form that I had removed from a Dollar Tree farmhouse truck for another DIY and decided to stain it with my Aged Glaze that I have been using on everything lately. 

It just has the perfect stain color!

Next, I hot glued them onto the wreath. Easy peasy!

I took some ticking striped ribbon and created a bow and hot glued it on as well.

I love how it looks on my faux cutting boards on my kitchen wall.

As always, don’t forget to share with your crafty friends!

Dollar Tree Letters for Santa Mailbox

Hey everyone! Happy Hump Day! Today is Day 9 of my 12 Days of Christmas and for this DIY and I’m bringing you this fun mailbox you can make so that your littles can send their letters to Santa. 

CHECK OUT all of the 12 Days of Christmas here!

I got this cute little mailbox at my local Dollar Tree. My daughter helped me share all about it in our last shopping haul. 

Dollar Tree Letters for Santa Mailbox 1 Dollar Tree Letters for Santa Mailbox

I spray painted it with primer and then gave it two coats of my favorite white chalk paint.

Next, I painted the little flag red. It took me several coats to get it completely covered, but I managed to get most of it in the end!

Afterwards, I cut some scrap book paper that I had on hand to add to the mailbox door as trim. I simply applied it with a glue stick (nothing fancy here folks!).

Next, I took some Christmas greenery from Dollar Tree and took it apart. I began placing the leaves on the top first with some hot glue.

And gradually added more greenery, berries, poinsettias and a pinecone.

Next, I made a little decal to go on one of these cute Dollar Tree tags that read “Letters to Santa”. I can’t hand letter for the life of me so I rely heavily on my Cricut.

I used some Dollar Tree ribbon to tie a bow on the tag and then used hot glue to adhere it to the front.

Finally, I wanted it to sit on a stand so I took a candlestick that painted earlier this year, added some hot glue and placed it on the top. 

Note* the hot glue can peel off if I do decide to use the candlestick for something else in the future.

And that was it for this DIY!

I think it’s adorable and really festive.

I am sure my kids will get a kick out of using it. They have been playing with the Dollar Tree mini village since I finished them.

And I absolutely love that little tag!

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 hear 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 and I would love for you to join me on this adventure!

I partnered with @plowandhearth to decorate our camper and it turned out perfectly! With a small space we couldn’t add too much clutter so everything I added had to keep that in mind. Their new red and white toile quilts added the perfect touch to the beds. Their small battery operated tree was perfect next to our fireplace and those stockings are the perfect touch for smaller gifts.
