Farmhouse Barn Door DIY

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well. Today I have another Look for Less project for you all and I am so excited about how it turned out. As you know, I host this challenge every month on my channel. I ask other YouTubers to join in on the fun as well.

You are welcome to see the video tutorial on my Youtube channel or you can scroll to the end as well and watch the tutorial.

This time around I found this beautiful farmhouse barn door piece over at Kirkland’s:

I thought this piece was just lovely, but at $75, it was well out of my price range. So I decided to recreate it myself!

The best part about it is that I had some of the items I needed to recreate this.

I had picked up a frame from Goodwill for $1.50 and I had 2 poplar pieces of wood from Home Depot. They are really cheap and I always have some around for DIY’s. By the way, that frame was originally from Hobby Lobby and it retailed for $19.99!

I needed to make the “X” so I measured and marked the poplar pieces.

To cut them I used my miter saw kit.

I cut one long piece and two smaller ones.

Next, I painted them along with the frame with my favorite white chalk paint.

I gave them two coats and let them dry. Once dry, I measured and drew lines on the frame in order to create faux boards that ran from top to bottom.

Afterwards, I placed the poplar boards down and glued them on using Dollar Tree’s wood glue. It actually works pretty well and I like that it’s not yellow.

I used some paint containers to hold the boards in place while they dried.

Then it was time for the hubby to help me out.

I had this jar in my craft stash and I picked up this hose clamp from Home Depot.

I wanted to use the hose clamp to hold the jar on the barn door, so he cut the excess off and with his strong man hands he molded it to fit.

After screwing it on, it was ready to go! I thought about painting the clamp black like the original but then thought it actually looked better silver so I left it.

Then, I added some roses from Dollar Tree and greenery from Wal Mart and it was ready to hang.. only I can’t hang anything on the walls just yet!

The best part is this only cost $5 to make!

I think it would be perfect to change out throughout the seasons and I plan on adding fairy lights for some ambiance as well.

What do you think?

DIY Coastal Mirror

Hey there friends! Hope you all are doing well. I have been away for a little bit. There’s been a lot to process over these past couple of weeks and while it feels like my kids just got out of school for the year, we are already getting ready for what the new school year will look like for our children.

We are also moving along with updates to the house. Things are moving slower than I wish, and several things have changed in our plans. We have painted the kitchen cabinets already which is a huge win at this point.

In addition, my husband and I have been wanting to create a second Youtube Channel called The Latinos Next Door so that we can share a more personal look into our lives and our day to day adventures, so we finally made that leap! Some of my original channel subscribers want a way to know us better and to see more videos so I am happy to provide that and see where that leads.

Today I am sharing my latest Look for Less project. I came across this beautiful mirror at Pier1 while checking out their “going out of business” inventory. Unfortunately, even on sale it was out of my price range. However, I really liked the look and I thought it would be something that would look great with my coastal farmhouse decor so I thought I would give it a shot.

I knew I could round up these items needed for this for much less.

The main items you need is a round wood board, half round beads and a mirror. The round wood board is from Home Depot. The half round wood beads are found online and the mirror is from Michael’s – it is a regular item but I found that not all Michael’s carry them.

As always, you can check out the video tutorial for this as well…

DIY Coastal Mirror

First thing I did was create a coastal greige stain for the wood board. Of course you can always choose how you wish to stain your piece to match your decor. You can go as light or dark as you choose.

To save on cost I used what I had on hand. Among them were my favorite white chalk paint for the dry-brushing, clear wax to create the stain and my favorite antiquing wax for depth.

In order to get the color above, I mixed the paints and waxes below. You can always substitute for close matches you may have on hand.

Then I just brushed it on all over the board while following the grain. I let it sit for a while to dry before buffing it with a lint free cloth. The wax I use tends to get a little grainy in places and I like to remove that excess, but not before it has a chance to dry some.

Before doing the same thing to the beads, I dry-fitted them around the mirror to know the exact number I was going to use.

I painted them as well.

RELATED: Pottery Barn Mirror Dupe

I let the beads and board dry, removed the excess wax and then gave them each a second coat. Once the second coat was dry, I removed the excess wax as well.

After that, I began to dry brush with white chalk paint. I used a chip brush for this and applied lighter in some areas than others, since I really wanted it to look aged.

Also, I made sure to get the edges as well.

I took a small artist brush and filled in the areas in between the beads. I wanted them to look like they were part of the board and it had aged that way for a while.

After I let that dry I cleaned the mirror and it was ready to go on my mantle. I will eventually add hanging hardware to the back, but for now this works fine.

I LOVE the way this mirror turned out!!!

The brush strokes aren’t the same throughout which I thinks adds to the character of the piece. Some are heavier than others. Some are more defined. For the areas that look a little more smoothed out, I took a lint free cloth and rubbed over the dry brushed areas to smooth them out.

I am so ready for my house to be done so I can decorate!

At least I was able to style the mantle for this. It may have to come off for a bit while we finish some things, but it’s nice to see how the space can look.

In the end, this mirror came to around $22 total. I didn’t use all of the beads and I used a coupon code for my mirror. Not bad I think!

Let me know how you like this Pier1 dupe!

Share with your friends who would love to have one of these as well.

Until the next one… 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!

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!

Dollar Tree Valentines Sign

Some of the links below may be affiliate links, please see full disclosure for more info

Happy Friday!

We have made it to the end of the work week and I am happy that I’m still alive with this being the end of week 2 of my fitness and health routine. Whew!

I wanted to end the week on another sweet Valentine’s note since you all seemed to enjoy the wreath and topiary that I have already created. The only difference is this time I am going completely farmhouse neutral.

The items I used were from Dollar Tree and a couple of items I had left over from other projects. Plus, it is super easy to recreate!

Can I get a heck yeah!

Dollar Tree Valentine’s Sign How To:

First you will need a Dollar Tree frame (I used the square one below) and some scrapbook paper. I got this paper from Hobby Lobby and it has a ship lap print. It was left over from my DIY farmhouse picture frames.

First, I removed the back of the sign and cut the scrapbook paper to fit.

I used a glue stick to adhere it to the back of the sign (where it had no print).

Then I used one of the same hearts from my Valentine’s garland and this time I stained it with with a little bit of antiquing wax. I watered it down a bit and just brushed the “stain” on and removed any excess with a paper towel.

Once that was dry I added a metal heart from another Dollar Tree sign and I glued it on with some E6000.

After that was in place, I threaded a burlap ribbon through the top hole of the heart.

Then it was time to assemble.

I placed the frame face down and then laid the heart down on top with the ribbon hanging over the frame. I adjusted the ribbon to where I wanted it to go and then put the back on. I held the ribbon on the back of the frame with a little bit of tape.

And that was it!

This is perfect for anyone not wanting to go all out with pinks and reds for Valentine’s Day. I love the look of the heart. It almost looks like a necklace hanging.

Sweet and simple, yet elegant and farmhouse of course… 😉

And of course it coordinates perfectly with last year’s Valentine’s LOVE sign as well.

If you don’t like things completely neutral you can always add your personal touch by changing or adding some color. 😉

And if you are feeling truly inspired to create this weekend, check out my 2 coastal farmhouse DIY’s perfect for Valentine’s as well.

This was my first time making a tassel… not as easy as it looks people! 😳

And then another sign…

You can find those tutorials in the video below!

I hope you enjoyed these as well! Have a blessed weekend.

As always don’t forget to PIN and share these with your friends!

Until next time, adios!

Dollar Tree Valentines DIY Topiary

Some of the links below are affiliate links, see full disclosure for more details.

Happy Wednesday!

Now, is it just me or is January moving so quickly? I mean, my birthday is next week and I don’t even know how we got here. I feel like I was just taking down Christmas decor and all of a sudden I am getting another… year…. older…

Ya’ll I am not ready. 40 is creeping up and I am freaking out! Can these next 3 years just go really slow… I mean like really slow.

Snail pace people!

Okay, enough with the age talk…

>>>>Before I go on with the tutorial I did just share my latest thrift store haul on my channel so if you love thrifted treasures and wish to check out what I scored head on over to the video here<<<

Now back to the DIY… I hope you enjoyed the last Valentine’s DIY. I really love how that wreath turned out.

Today’s DIY is just as dreamy. This topiary is the perfect compliment to the wreath and I use the same colors for the roses so they coordinate if you want to maintain a consistent theme.

Here’s what you need:

Dollar Tree Valentines DIY Topiary Supplies

Metal Bucket
Rose Bushes
Dowel
Floral Foam
Jute
Nautical Rope (I used both white and brown)
Hot Glue
Toy Ball
Floral Moss
Wood Tint (or stain)
Chalk Paint (or paint of your choice)

I used a bucket from Christmas that I had left over and the white nautical rope is from Hobby Lobby. It’s $1.99 but I bought it at half off and they carry it all the time.

First thing I did was hot glue the rope onto the bucket. I started with the brown rope and worked from the bottom up.

Make sure to keep the rope straight and when you wrap around back to itself, keep the “step up” to the next row tight and clean so that it looks nice.

Once you get to 2/3 of the way, cut the rope and start with the white. Now, this white nautical rope unravels really easy so make sure to take a little hot glue and seal the end so that it doesn’t come undone.

Then proceed to wrap.

When I got to the handles I stopped and I used jute string to wrap the handles. Make sure to start really low on the handles so the white rope can cover the ends.

With the jute, I took my time and added a little bit of hot glue at a time. Don’t overlap the jute either. Just keep wrapping it next to each other keeping it nice and clean.

After I did both handles, I continued with the white rope.

Once I reached the top, I cut off the end and frayed it and glued it to the inside of the bucket. This creates less bulk and allows it to adhere to the wall of the bucket better.

Next, just to be safe, I painted the top portion of the inner bucket with white chalk paint. I knew I was going to fill the bucket in but just in case there was a peek through, you wouldn’t see any red.

After the bucket was finished I took a broken dowel left over from another project and applied my favorite wood tint and let it sit to dry.

Next, I had these toy balls from Dollar Tree and I took one of them.

I drilled a hole the size of the dowel through it.

Next, I took the same rose bushes that I used on my wreath and I pulled them off the stems as well.

*Remember that when you remove the backing that keeps the roses together after you remove them from the stems, you have to glue the center of the petals together or they won’t stay together.

Then I simply hot glue the roses onto the ball.

I started at the top with the white and worked my way down with the darker colors creating an ombré effect.

Once I was done adding roses, I inserted the dowel.

I then took some floral foam and added it to the bucket.

I inserted the dowel…

And then I hot glued some floral moss to the bottom.

Finally, all I did was add a bow to the dowel and a little wooden heart (also from Dollar Tree) to the bottom of the stem, and I was done!

I love that this topiary can easily transition into Spring decor simply by removing the heart.

And can we talk about the bucket turned coastal farmhouse basket? I LOVE how it turned out and now I want to do it to all the things!

I hope you enjoyed this cute Valentines DIY Topiary.

And if you are interested in a 3rd DIY check out this cute banner (or garland, whichever you prefer to call it😉).

You can always see how I made it in the video below!

Until… then adios!

Dollar Tree Valentines DIY Wreath

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

Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a wonderful and restful weekend. My parents came over to spend the weekend and it was nice. My mom helped me out with the kids while I did some laundry and my dad helped the hubby work on fixing drywall, adding spackle and sanding areas in the kids’ bedrooms. It was productive, but we still have so much left to do.

I thought I would kick off the week with a sweet Valentine’s DIY fromhere(yes, it’s all from Dollar Tree).

This year I am going with softer more romantic hues, since last year I did more reds with buffalo check details.

Dollar Tree Valentines DIY Wreath Supplies”

Heart Tinsel Wreath
Chalk Paint ( I used this one)
Rose Bushes (3 different colors for ombré effect)
Burlap Ribbon
Glue Gun
Twine

First you will need this heart sign.

Remove the “love” and the tinsel.

Next you will need to paint the inner grid. I chose white chalk paint however, you can choose whichever color suits your color scheme.

Give it 2 full coats (you will not need to paint the exterior borders).

Next you will take the burlap wired ribbon from Dollar Tree, cut it to fit the heart shape horizontally and vertically because you are about to weave it through the grid like a basket.

I started with all of the horizontal rows.

Then I added the verticals.

Here is what it should look like.

Once you are done with the “basket weave” you will glue the ends of the ribbon to the border of the heart frame with hot glue.

RELATED: 4 Valentines Day DIY’s

Then when they are all glued down you will need to cut off the excess ribbon all around the border.

After that I chose to use 3 different types of roses from Dollar Tree that all coordinated well.

I remove the rose heads from their stems first.

And then glued them on the perimeter of the wreath.

In order for the roses not to come apart after you cut down the small piece of them stem holding them together you will have to add hot glue throughout the inside centers of the petals so that they stick together.

I began at the bottom and worked my way up. I used the dark roses first, then lighter peach ones and then the white ones.

Once they were all adhered, I added a little piece of jute to hang it from the back.

And this wreath was done!

I love the basket weave detail with the beautiful transition between the roses creating a beautiful ombré effect.

You hang it on a door, over a fireplace, above a bed…. and you can change it up depending on your preferred color scheme.

How do you like it? Would you give it a try?

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Until next time, adios!

DIY Rustic Farmhouse Winter Decor

Some of the links below may be affiliate links. Please red full disclosure here

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was super busy trying to get everything I needed to get done before the kids went back to school from winter vacation today. I love my kiddos, but boy it’s nice to be back to our regular routine again.

It has been rainy and cold here and since all of the Christmas decor is put away and things are looking a little bare, I thought I would create some winter decor in order to liven things up at home…. and I decided to use leftover wrapping paper.

Is it me or do you always have a ton left over?

Well, I figuredI should put it to good use, especially since some of it is actually really pretty.

I don’t have all of my crafting supplies unpacked yet so I really tried to get as creative as I could with the random items I could find throughout the home and here is what I came up with…

First, I took this glass vase from Dollar Tree, it’s same kind I used for this winter DIY a few years back.

I wiped it down with alcohol to make sure it was super clean and then I measured the outside.

I cut some wrapping to fit around it – you can make this as wide or narrow as you like.

I used a paper cutter to create clean lines (they are so inexpensive and totally worth it if you need straight cuts). Here is a similar one.

And then I added Mod Podge all over the vase. I normally use matte mod podge, but since he paper was glossy I wanted to keep the sheen consistent.

I wrapped the paper around the vase and then applied more Mod Podge on top of the paper to seal it. Once dry I added some navy ribbon to finish off the design. I used a thin line of E6000 to properly secure it on top and on bottom.

And here is how it turned out!

I am currently using it as a candleholder – I used one of those battery operated Dollar Tree ones, but it would also look stunning as a vase with pretty winter greenery inside.

Of course I didn’t stop there…. there’s more DIY Rustic Farmhouse Winter Decor

Next, I took this really sad frame that I bought at Hobby Lobby for 80% off. I started to do something to it but never finished.

I took some Java Home Decor chalk paint and I painted the frame.

Then I painted over the inside with White Adirondack.

Then I printed this free winter printable I found here and I cut it down to size (the print is much larger but I wanted it to be smaller inside the frame for this project.

I glued it to poster board to give it more stability and weight.

Next I cut out some more wrapping paper to fit inside the frame. I added poster board to the back of it as well.

I glued it to the frame with regular school glue.

Once dry I took these dots from Dollar Tree’s new craft section and add them back to the floral print in order to attached it to the wrapping paper frame.

And that’s it for this one!

I love the contrast between the “flannel” paper and the pretty printable.

I did also make 2 other winter DIY’s as well.

This snowflake wood sign is one of them…

As well as this cute tag to hang on a wreath…

I love how they are all different yet coordinate so well together.

You can check out how to make the 2 snowflake DIY’s on my video since I didn’t want this post to be too long with so many images. The wood sign was made from scratch with a snowflake from Dollar Tree.

And the cute tag is also a Dollar Tree piece as well.

Farmhouse Spring and St. Patrick’s DIY’s

Some of the links below are affiliate links, please go here for full disclosure. I am a Plaid Ambassador and some of the products used here were supplied to me

Hey there! I know it has been a while since I’ve posted, but I am sure you’ll appreciate the DIY’s I’m sharing with you all today. I’ve been so busy at home getting rid of unwanted and unnecessary things that I’m making sure I only make what I really want and is truly necessary as far as my decorating is concerned. Since reading the book and seeing her show, I’ve taken the Marie Kondo thing seriously and I don’t plan on going back now.

So while taking that into consideration I am trying to make DIY’s that can be used for multiple occasions or seasons and used in different places throughout the home.

While St. Patrick’s Day is not a Latin American holiday it’s actually very special to me and my husband since my he asked me to be his girlfriend on St. Patrick’s Day (apparently he had some liquid courage that day)…. so it’s kinda nice to celebrate that occasion.

I knew I wanted to add a few touches of green here and there, but I’m not fond of all that green glitter and decor you see out in the stores. So I began looking for alternative solutions and I came across some dried split peas at my local grocery store and had an awesome idea.

I had these candle holders from Dollar Tree that I had left over from last year… ( you can totally use any candle holders you have on hand or even thrifted ones).

And I decided to give them a coat of my favorite Martha Stewart brown paint in Tilled Soil (I have used it here and here as well).

After 2 coats I then took some Folkart acrylic paint in the color Country Twilland used a chip brush to dry brush on some streaks.

They’ll look like this when they are done.

Then afterwards, I used one of my new FAVORITE products… It’s called Antique Wax by Folkart .

All you do is take a lint free cloth and rub it on these candle holders.

And it will deepen the color and make these candle holders look like wood!

They look just fine the way they are and you can totally leave them this way, however, I wanted to add glass hurricanes to the top.

So I took one of the extra tall vases from Dollar Tree, one of the regular size vases and finally one of my leftover Yankee Candle jars (cause DT does not carry any in these size)… I cleaned them and adhered them to the top of the candleholders with E6000 and a little bit of hot glue…

Of course, I did not get a picture of this ??‍♀️ but I am sure you can figure it out ?.

Once they were adhered I added those split peas I talked about earlier along with some Dollar Tree white candles and they make the sweetest Spring/St. Patrick’s Day themed center piece for my breakfast area.

And you would never guess most of the items used were from Dollar Tree!

These are going to be so versatile. I can add orange lentils for Fall, sand if I want a more coastal theme or moss for Summer. The options are endless and I think they look so good together…

Of course my love for this farmhouse version of “green glitter” (as my dear friend Marie from The Inspiration Vault calls it) did not stop there and I made 2 of the following wreaths…

Yeah, I went a little nuts! ?

If you are interested in how I made it you can check out tutorial for the wreath in my video below…

Hope you all have a wonderful week and I will see you soon! Don’t forget to pin this and share with your friends!

DIY Dollar Tree Fall Succulent Pumpkin Planter

*Some of the following links are affiliate links, go here for full disclosure*

Happy weekend everyone! I have another fall DIY for you all and I am really excited about this one. I made these DIY Dollar Tree Fall Succulent Pumpkin Planters and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

Okay, so what better way to add some greenery to Fall than to add it to some Dollar Tree pumpkins… super inexpensive and easy to make… 2 things I love the most!

The main items you will need are:

Dollar Tree Carvable Pumpkins (they are out in stores right now, but you can always order them online and get them shipped to your local store for FREE)
Dollar Tree Succulents
A carving tool (but you can also use the little carving kits at Dollar Tree)
Paint of your choice – I used Rustoleum’s Chalked Paint in Linen White and Aged Gray (I use those a lot… like in my Pottery Barn mirror dupe and my Dollar Tree Pumpkin Topiaries
Floral Foam
Floral Moss
Hot Glue Gun and Glue

So the first thing you want to do is get a carvable pumpkin from Dollar Tree.

Oh and as always you can view the video tutorial here, if videos are your jam! ?

I happened to have an unfinished one from last year that I had already started painting so I decided to use that one. I went ahead and carved out the top.

Then I painted it with my favorite white chalk paint and added floral foam to the inside. I made sure to secure it with hot glue.

I then added the floral moss, adhering it with hot glue as well.

Finally you just add your Dollar Tree succulents and arrange them whichever way you like! I used several I had from Dollar Tree and a few other from Michael’s that I was able to purchase during their 80% off end of summer floral sale. I even got some for only 80 cents!

Also, if you don’t have these carvable pumpkins you can also use regular foam ones and not even carve them.

Just paint them or leave them as is.

Glue the floral moss on the top and make a hole for your succulent picks (if the hole of the stem you removed is not large enough).

Then add your succulent picks!

I love how you can make them in all shapes, colors and sizes!

Eek! Now I want to fill my house with these! Which one is your fave? Would you leave the colors as is or would you paint yours as well?

Oh, and if you like that cute little buffalo check tray… stay tuned, cause I am going to show you how to make that next! It pairs so well with my mini buffalo check stand that you can display pumpkins on… like these!

Well, I will see you with another DIY very soon…

DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for Fall

Hello friends! Can you believe it is September already!??!? Holy moly! Before you know it we will be trick-or-treating and then saying “Thanks” and then opening presents….. Okay, I need to pace myself. Ha!

But you get the drift, time is flying!

And with that we need to start changing things up at home… and by that I mean we need to start our Fall decorating.

And what better way to display your Fall decor than on a cute buffalo check mini stand….

You know I love buffalo check, right? I mean I re-did my littlest’s bedroom and I painted one entire wall in buffalo check!If you haven’t seen that transformation you definitely must, cause you will be in buffalo check heaven, just sayin’!

Okay, this tutorial is much smaller in scale so I thought I would walk you through it again in case you have been dying to learn how to paint buffalo check…

Here goes!

DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for Fall

So, for this mini stand I got an unfinished candlestick from Michael’s and an unfinished wood round from Hobby Lobby.

I glued them together with wood glue. I made sure to hold the candlestick in place with painters tape to ensure it would stay put and in the center.

Once it was dry I painted the top with Rustoleum Chalked paint in White Linen (the same one I used for my Pottery Barn Mirror Dupe) and the base with Chalked paint in Aged Gray.

Once I did that I used painters tape to tape out the stripes.

For my daughter’s room I started from the middle and worked my way out with the stripes, but since this was so small and simple, I just placed a piece of tape at the end and with my fabric tape measure I measured the width of the tape and spaced out the rest of the stripes so they were all the same size.

Once all of the tape was on I painted the stripes with the Aged Gray.

I gave it 2 coats and removed the tape.

Once the paint was dry, I added painters tape in a perpendicular direction to the stripes already in place.

***Also, if at any point this seems a little confusing, you can always check out my video tutorial below…***

Once they were secure, I painted those stripes with the same gray paint.

This time you keep that tape in place. DO NOT remove it!

You will now place painters tape to the original vertical lines from before, but ON TOP of the existing tape. This will isolate the intersections (or squares) of both of the lines.

Then you will paint it a darker gray (or color of choice).

Once you are done, simply remove the tape one layer at a time and touch up any areas necessary. I like to use a small square artist brush.

And that’s it!

You now have a cute & neutral, DIY buffalo check mini stand for Fall! You can put pumpkins on it or any other Fall decor piece. If you don’t prefer gray, that’s okay, you can totally customize it to suit your decor color scheme.

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial and I hope it has inspired you to create some custom buffalo check pieces this Fall.

You can share this with your friends by pinning to Pinterest!

See ya soon with more Fall DIY’s!

DIY Pottery Barn Vases

Some of the links below may be affiliate links, for full disclosure please go here

Happy Hump day! I am so happy half the week is gone because I have been painting like crazy all week and I am determined to finish before the weekend approaches… I need a vacation!

So, if you recall I started my monthly Look for Less Challenge in July where I created a dupe for a Pottery Barn mirror. And it was finally time to do the challenge for this month, but unfortunately because of the water leak that I mentioned in my last post, I was not able to do what I had originally intended… so I opted for another Pottery Barn dupe!

And while it was not planned, I totally love how they turned out.

So it all began when I saw these beauties online…

Beautiful right?

Well the vases were, but the price not so much… the smallest was $49 and the tallest was $79!!!!! What in the world!?

Yeah no, that was NOT going to happen…

So I remembered I had these not so lovely vases that I have been ~~hoarding~~ saving for about 10 years now, and I thought it was the right time to give them a facelift. I also went ahead and decided to makeover my large vase in my last thrift store hall as well…

Ick, I know! These were so outdated, but they had a great shape… reason why I just could never let them go.

Also, remember you can always view the tutorial below as well…

So, I took them and gave them several coats of white spray paint.

I added painter’s tape and painted the bottom portion with Martha Stewart’s Vintage Decor Paint in Tilled Soil.

I gave it at least 2 coats. I even took a fan artist brush and add little strokes throughout to resemble clay poking through the paint.

Then afterwards, I used Americana Acrylic Paint (from Hobby Lobby) by DecoArt in the color Prussian Blue along with 2 stencils I also purchased there with my 40% coupons., to add a pattern throughout.

I did a round stencil for the round vase and as you can see they didn’t turn out perfect because of the shape of the vase. I tried spray adhesive, but the stencil still wouldn’t stick very well.

I didn’t mind the messy look though, since I was trying to make these look kinda antique and old.

I used the other stencil pattern on both the other vases since they were a set. I purchased these.

I basically eye-balled the pattern… and worked my way around the vase.

The square vases were perfect as is, but the round vase looked little empty so I took a light blue acrylic paint and used craft match sticks to add more freehand dots on and around the original stencil and I love the final look!

Since I already had the paint and the 2 square vases, I only needed the stencils. The round vase only cost me $5.95 so I was all in for 3 vases at $11!

These are great for bookshelves:

On a mantle:

Or by themselves in a vignette:

Tell me, which style is your favorite?

Here is a look at them side-by-side…

I think I did pretty good! Do you have any vases that need a makeover at home?

Don’t forget to pin this and share with your friends!

Be back here very soon!

DIY Patriotic Wreath & Front Porch Decor

Some of the links below are affiliate links for your convenience. For full disclosure please go here

Hello friends! We had a wonderful start to this Memorial Day weekend as we spent most of the day at the pool. It was our kids’ last week of school and we were definitely ready to be having fun in the sun.

I am also excited because I had time to create a DIY Patriotic Wreath and update my front porch decor just in time for Memorial Day.

I will be honest, my front porch sucked. The only thing I ever did to it since moving in was decorate it for Christmas… other than that, it was plain Jane.

I thought this weekend would be perfect to spruce it up! I have wanted to have a patriotic wreath for a while now, but they are pretty expensive, so I decided to visit my local Dollar Tree since they have so many patriotic things this year to see what I could find.

I lucked out since they had red, white and blue rose bushes and I was able to create this beauty!

It only cost me a total of $10 including the wire wreath that I also got from Dollar Tree. If you want to see how easy it was to make, check out my video below! It was super easy and quick to make!

…and remember you can keep it around for the 4th of July as well!

DIY Patriotic Wreath & Front Porch Decor

Since my doormat was small and often got “lost” in all the brick, I decided to layer it and purchase a larger black and white rug to place underneath it. I purchased mine and my local At Home store and I love how it turned out!

For similar looks check out these options below:

In addition, since the left side of the entrance has a little more space, I wanted to create a seating nook so I added a black metal chair with a red cushion for the patriotic theme and a small side table.

Other similar looks like this:

I also added greenery, so I placed the two planters that I had brought with me when we moved from our previous home and added annuals.

One of my favorite plants is the light green sweet potato vine. It gives visual interest because not only is it a light color, but it grows so fast and easily cascades off the side of any planter. I cannot wait they grow longer.

And that’s pretty much all I did! But I am so glad how it all came together.

I hope you liked this quick little makeover and I hope you have a blessed Memorial Day weekend!

DIY Easter Moss Bunny

I was compensated for this post. This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. See full disclosure here.

I am so excited for today’s post as I have partnered again with Dollar Tree to bring you another easy and fun DIY project just in time for Easter.

Related: Dollar Tree Winter Decor

Related: Dollar Tree Frozen Foods

I have never been really big on decorating for every holiday and I know that there are others out there who just don’t have the time, but you can still enter in the spirit of Easter with this simple DIY that can easily be added to your existing decor without having to drastically change everything else around it.

DIY Easter Moss Bunny Supply List:

(Supplies used were from Dollar Tree and my local craft store)

2 embroidery hoops – 10 & 15 cm in diameter
Floral Moss from DT
Foam Board from DT
Small unfinished wood plaque
Hot glue gun & glue
E6000 glue
Flower (these bushes are just $1 at DT).

You can also check out the complete video tutorial on my YouTube channel as well!

First you will need to glue the embroidery hoops with hot glue.

Then start hot-gluing the floral moss.

It will get messy!

Stop before you get the the bottom and leave spaces for the ears.

Cut out a couple of ears from foam board.

They don’t have to be perfect since you are going to cover them with floral moss as well.

After you cover them attach them with hot glue on the embroidery hoop. Hold them until the glue dries completely (just make sure you don’t add any moss too the bottom of the ear for better adhesion).

Then after you have the ears attached, grab your unfinished wood plaque and using a combination of E6000 and hot glue, secure to the base. The reason I used both was so that it would have a strong hold with the E6000, but have the hot glue dry quickly so that it can support the bunny while the E6000 dried.

Then cover the rest of the exposed embroidery hoop. You can leave it like this but I went a step further and gave the bunny a tail by using a rose that I had removed from a floral bush.

I think it turned out adorable!

You can always stain the base to match your decor or even add ribbon or a bow to the bunny to give it a little extra detail, but this was perfect for me.

It now sits on my entrance cabinet in the foyer.

What do you think about this DIY? Would you try it in your own home? Now, I totally want to decorate some more things with moss!

Craft Room Challenge Week 1

I am excited to kick off the new year tackling the mess in my new home. The hubby and I just got all of our final things out of storage so now we have more boxes to go through. We, did however, take several boxes of stuff we just didn’t need anymore to out local Goodwill.

That is not to say we have gotten rid of everything. NOPE! Not even close.

Shocker I’m sure.

But at least we got rid of toys the kids and grown out of, old rugs, decor pieces I never used or were no longer my style and other miscellaneous things. PLUS, we were able to throw away some serious junk…

Feels good so far. But now it’s off to tackle my craft room. One of the best things in this new home of ours is that I get my very own dedicated craft room. I thoroughly enjoyed creating a ton of projects this past December but it wasn’t easy as I didn’t have a central location where I housed everything.

I want to bring even more projects to you all, so I need an organized space that I can work in and be more efficient. Plus, I am dying to get back to sewing and I am looking forward to having a space where I can get away and relieve some stress with fabric and thread.

Yes, it’s totally soothing to me, I swear!

However, I got nothing started. NOPE. NADA.

Which is why I am super excited to be joining this Craft Room Challenge hosted by my friends at The Inspiration Vault. I need to get my stuff in order.

Here is what my space looks like now… the space is actually like a sitting or dressing room off our master bath (weird I know, but it’s all mine!).

It doesn’t have a door either… just a step down.

I am almost embarrassed to share.

There are boxes that don’t belong (from the move… and yes, unopened).

Bags on the floor.

Nothing is in order.

And not to mention, there is a dreary color on the walls and none of my furniture matches.

I don’t even have all of my supplies in there yet…

And there’s an ironing board that never gets put away! Gah!

Ya’ll have seen spaces in my home before.

THIS.IS.NOT.ME.

I just haven’t had the time to get all this set up.

I have no systems in place for storing away anything yet and well… it’s just a hot mess.

I cannot create in here. It’s just not inspiring.

So here is what I plan on doing during this Craft Room Challenge:

Paint the walls and trim – the paint is dark and not my style. It had been a while since the previous owners painted and areas need to be touched up here and there.
New window treatment – the blinds have been burned to a crisp by the sun. It’s time to add something new.
Organized shelving – I actually have 2 of those half-sized bookshelves and will be adding both to this space since the other one isn’t really being used at this time.
Organization boxes, bins, and systems – My craft area wasn’t working in my last house and clearly isn’t working here so I need to set up new systems and ways to organize that will allow me to easily access things and put them away.
Decorate – Obviously I want a space that will inspire creativity so I hope to add a few touches here and there to make it look nicer than just a place to do crafts. I may even change out the light fixture since it’s not really my style and doesn’t give off a ton of light, but if I cannot find a cheap one, I will wait.

How am I going to do it?

Well, first and foremost…. as cheaply as possible!

I am really trying NOT to spend a lot this year at all! My hubby and I have a financial goal and we want to be able to meet it this year. So I plan on using a few things that I already have on hand to cut costs and then buy things as inexpensively as possible.

I will also be getting rid of a few things too. There are just some things for projects I have had FOREVER and I haven’t even used them so I will be chucking them to make space for things that I do use regularly.

So because I am starting from scratch, my steps this week will be a little different from the rest of the bloggers who have their rooms already set up. Here are the steps I will be taking this week to get started on the right foot.

Craft Room Challenge Week 1 Action Items:

Remove everything from the room and paint walls & trim
Add new window treatment to replace the burnt blinds
Bring furniture back and place in desired locations.
Set up my work surface area
Purchase a few items and systems that will make the craft organizing more efficient.

Wish me luck! And don’t forget to check out our cute little trailer featuring some of the other spaces for the challenge below!

We are winding down with just a few more days to go! I am actually really excited about today’s post because I get to show off an amazing DIY that you can easily replicate and love! I wanted to do a simple yet more upscale look for my formal dining table this Christmas. However, since I have been doing many rustic themed decorations throughout other areas of the house, I didn’t want to go too far off and do something that wouldn’t necessarily go with the rest of the house (even though my formal dining room is pretty much separated from everything else).

That being said, I think I just found my perfect balance of glam and farmhouse and I wanted to share with you my Rustic Glam Christmas Table Setting.

I knew I wanted a beautiful elongated arrangement for the focal point, so naturally I headed to my local Dollar Tree.

I created this amazing white washed faux “wooden” box for my arrangement and this is how I did it.

Supplies:

Foam Board (1)
Floral Foam (3)
1 roll of Faux Wood Contact Paper ( I got this one)
Acrylic Paint
Hot Glue/Gun
Foam Brush
Box Cutter

First you are going to measure the foam board to fit the floral foam.

Then you mark both ends and draw a line from one end to the other.

Then score the foam board, bend and score from behind to make your cut.

You will need the bottom, 2 sides and 2 ends. I made my sides 4 inches tall and the ends were measured to fit the outside of the 3 other sides combined. I made them the length of 3 floral foams.

Hot glue the pieces together. Make sure the bottom is on the inside.

Glue your end pieces on.

Add your contact paper all the way around. One roll will allow you to go all around seamlessly. Cut your corners and bring the contact paper in.

Fold the bottoms in and h0t glue them down to secure.

Then take foam brush with your acrylic white paint and apply a thin layer of paint (using long strokes) from end to end. Make sure the wood grain shows through.

Let dry.

Insert your floral foam and add your desired greenery. I used 3 bushes I got on sale from Michael’s and I just cut the stems out to create individual picks.

(Fore more Dollar Tree tutorials make sure to check out my YouTube channel as well. ?)

It looks sooooooo good! You can’t tell it’s not wood at first glance and you really have to get up close and personal to figure it out.

For the place settings can you guess what I used?

More Dollar Tree products of course!

The napkins rings were from Dollar Tree and they are 6 for $1. This plates are plastic disposable plates and they were 4 for $1!

Recognize that white pearlized charger? I used it in my Thanksgiving Table Setting and it is also from Dollar Tree!

The glasses are from Dollar Tree as well.

DOLLAR TREE TIP! If you don’t see what you want at your Dollar Tree, you can order the items online and have them shipped to your local store for FREE!

Seriously, that planter box looks so realistic! Oh and those silver tea light holders above were also from Dollar Tree.

Hope you liked how this turned out as much as I did! That burlap table runner is from BIG LOTS – they have some amazing products for great prices as well I have recently found out.
