This DIY wreath was so fun and simple. I just used a spool of 4 inch Halloween ribbon, cut them into 4 inch pieces, then attached them with zip ties around the metal wreath. Then for the love of all skulls, I glued with my hot glue gun different size Styrofoam skulls.
Halloween 2020
Tuesday, October 6, 2020
Halloween is just as exciting for me as Christmas. I love to use my summer plants as a transition for Halloween, as the weather drops they start to die and lose color. By the time Halloween came my ferns had a nice brown tint to them.
These were some old bottles we had around the house, we just found some images we loved off of Pinterest printed them and glued them to the bottles.
these amazing shelves where purchased from Art Van furniture. I'm so sad they closed.
Bar additions October 2020 - Gas pipe shelves with reclaimed barn wood
I have used these shelves in a lot of different ways, in my old home we had them hung with rope running thru them, So the holes had already been there from my last project.... We now have them with gas pipes running thru them. It really added the rustic feel I was needing for our bar.
We took down the mirrors that were behind the bar and hung reclaimed wood with black gas pipe fittings. I used the 1/4x 10 and 1/4 x 12 for this project.
I gave the honey oak cabinets a fresh look with Poly+stain in onyx. You can view that here.
Magnolia Home chalk paint
Tuesday, September 29, 2020
clearly I am not a fan of Honey oak. I don't know why it was so popular in the 80's lets hope that is one thing that never comes back around! For this project I just wiped down the entire piece and used the new magnolia homes chalk paint from Target. They no longer make this color. The closest I could find was the rustoleum in dark grey. Which isn't a bad choice to go with, the rustomleum chalk paints are easy to work with and go on just as smooth.
Repurposed dresser turned bathroom vanity
So I found this dresser a few years back at good will for $14.99 and I love turning dressers into sinks. I love the height, I love that it’s not so traditional, and I love, love all the storage.
This was the vanity in my bathroom. As you can see there was no counter space and even less storage. I was just 2 great big doors. with one shelf.
So I took the actual sink off the base cabinet and decided this was the perfect project for my vintage dresser.
I measured the bottom of the opening where the sink would drop into the dresser and marked the top of the dresser with chalk to make a template for my cuts.
I drilled holes in all four corners with a large bit big enough so I can get my cut started with my circular saw.
then I was able to slip the blade into the hole I had drilled. I cut out the opening for the sink to drop in.
Once I had cut out the opening, I dropped the sink in. I was able to adjust the plumbing I had to add a few pieces because the dresser was taller than the original vanity.I patched the drawer pull holes, I had taken the hardware off years ago and thrown it out. (kick myself moment) so I used antique glass knobs I had from another piece. I re-drilled for just a single knob.
Hope this project inspires you to do something fun in your home.
Have a great day and thanks for coming and looking at my DIY vanity!
