My Buffalo Check Nursery Sign is sponsored by DecoArt. As always the ideas and opinions shared are my own. If you haven't noticed, I have a bit of an obsession with buffalo check! I painted an accent wall in our daughter's nursery in pink buffalo check so I decided to carry on that theme by making a sign in grey buffalo check with her initial on it for her room. I love how it turned out and it's the perfect addition to her room. Of course a sign like this could decorate any space, not just a nursery. It would make a great gift, too!

Beautiful Spring Porch Decor Inspiration
Welcome spring (and guests!) to your home entryway with some beautiful spring porch decor! Guys! It's finally spring! Or I should say the weather is finally like spring! I have had major cabin fever this winter; it was usually always too cold to venture out with a newborn.

Outdoor DIY Serving Tray Makeover
My DIY Patio Serving Tray is sponsored by DecoArt. As always, the opinions and ideas are all my own. Who else is itching to spend more time outside?! Here in Ohio we've had a few glimpses of spring-like weather and it has gotten me so excited to hang out on the patio once the weather allows! We love to spend time on the patio eating, relaxing and hanging out with friends and family. We used to haul all of our food and snacks out in several trips so I picked up this big tray at a thrift store to transport our eats more efficiently. But it needed a makeover. Desperately. The finish was peeling on the edges and it needed some color. I decided to paint it in the same colors as Continue Reading
How to Galvanize Metal for an Aged Look
Have you ever wondered how to create the galvanized metal look on a shiny surface? See how easy it is to transform with this 2 step tutorial. I made this Flower Market Bucket last year for the Darice blog and even though it could be considered more of a spring decoration, I didn't have the heart to pack it away because it's so cheery! One of my favorite elements of the bucket is the galvanized look of the metal. It didn't start out that way, however... it started out as a bucket with a stark metal shine which is't my style at all. Isn't it funny though how in order to get a vintage or "lived in" look on a decor piece the price doubles? Not cool. Have you ever wondered how to Continue Reading
