Five Feathered DIY

Feathers have definitely been overdone a lot lately but they still have a special place in my heart. I find myself really into any and all things monochromatically in the white/cream scheme.

So here are a few feathered diys that I love:

1. Potato stamped blanket (because anything that uses food as a stamp has my approval)

2. Faux leather feathered sweatshirt (yes, it’s in Fench… enjoy)

3. Gold and glittered dipped feathers (just because)

4. Lace and feathered dreamcatcher (I can’t have enough dreamcatchers)

5. Leather feather earrings (because they are easy to make and fun to distribute)

What happens when a vintage window & old western book make out?

Magic happens.

I mean, I know it’s a little dramatic but you shouldn’t expect any less from me.

Tools needed for this magic sessions:

1. Vintage Window

2. Old Western Book

3. Spray Adhesive

This window was $18 and I loved the teal color on it. I just had to do some cleaning and critter extractions and we were set to go.

I was a bit nervous of how the spray adhesive would turn out on the glass. I thought that you would see a white paste but it actually worked out perfectly. This was one of the easiest DIY projects I’ve done. I just sprayed the front of the page fully and pasted it to the glass. Boom.

There it is. The light may be a bit distracting but that’s because we get drenched in this afternoon light in our living room. No big deal. I’m excited to continue to show you more projects as we get this home under way. Oh and if you haven’t realized it yet, this is my home that I just moved into last weekend. Lots of fun projects to share. But little by little, my eager one. All in due time.

Spring Weekend DIYs

I can’t explain to you how much I love Spring time. I notice everything around me blossoming, people coming out of their caves and creativity is at its peak. So how about some fun diy projects to kickstart your weekend?
Let’s break it down, shall we?

We all have these white plain mugs so why not add some pizazz?

I definitely am vibing on this cork-board. I’m always a fan of a simple geometric.

There’s no way I’m going to do a diy post without chalk paint. This ones pretty cute.

So this one is actually a link to an Etsy item but it definitely is a good starting point for an awesome diy project. Only thing is that if you have the time to hunt for some vintage spoons, you’re set but it can easily be done without them being vintage.

I’ve had these weird obsession with flowers lately.

Yea, ladders are amazing. I use mine to hold my scarves but I am liking the necklace display.

Lining drawers is one of the sweetest ways to spruce up a piece of furniture. I’m digging the vintage feel of the distressed paint with the cute lining.

Garlands are kind of a big deal lately but these feathers are a bigger deal to me. Dipped in gold- can it get any better?
