DIY Monogram Door Mat
| May 7, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY, Home Decor |
“Aren’t people just going to wipe their feet on it?” A question that I would expect to hear from my husband’s mouth, but instead it came out of my 5 year old’s mouth! Just like his daddy! Me: “Well, yes, but I didn’t want it to be boring. I wanted it to be pretty!” Michael: “Alright but don’t complain to me when someone wipes mud all over it!” Me: {Seeing wheels turning in his little head} “Don’t you dare wipe mud all over it!” Michael: {Disappointed look…turned into evil mischievous look} “OK!” and runs out! BOYS! Seriously… Anyway…..I needed… Continue reading…
DIY Vinyl Mailbox Numbers
| April 28, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under DIY, Home Decor |
With a new house, comes lots and lots of new “To-Do’s”. Lucky for us the curb appeal of our new place is quite nice. The former owners had wonderful landscaping. There are just a few things I wanted to do to tweak the look. First up, the mailbox. It’s old, its been painted, it’s old, and it is a bit outdated. Now replacing the mailbox is not on the Top 10 things we want to get done. It’s not hurting anything but needs a bit of love. I cracked out my Silhouette Cameo (Cammie—yes I named her) and some permanent… Continue reading…
Washi Tape Light Switch & Outlet Covers
| April 13, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY, Home Decor |
So I may have mentioned before that my new craft room will be shared with the washer and dryer and that’s fine by me. I don’t mind company but what I do mind are the dingy almond colored light and outlet fixtures in the room. Yuck. I just planned on switching them out for some nice bright white ones when I get around to painting the room. Then, while making my washi tape clothes pin magnets, it hit me! Why not washi tape the outlet covers??? My craft room (we will just call it that from now and leave the… Continue reading…
Quick Kitchen Cabinet Refresher
| April 9, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under DIY, Home Decor |
I mentioned before that the kitchen in my new house is small. Not only is it small but it has limited cabinet space and the cabinets are original to the house. The previous owners did a great job of painting the outsides a nice white and putting on new modern knobs. So the outsides are not bad at all. The insides on the other hand…well they left a bit to be desired! Enter my Quick Kitchen Cabinet Refresher Project! Since space is limited I have to use all the cabinet space I have and with the dark interiors, they felt… Continue reading…

Valentine’s Day Heart Hanging
| February 6, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY, Home Decor, Valentine's Day |
Hanging or wreath? I wasn’t sure either! I think it’s cute though, regardless of the title! Items Needed: Styrofoam heart form Red Yarn Felt (white, pink & red) Hot Glue/Glue sticks Scissors Ribbon I started off by securing my yarn to my form with a small strip of hot glue. I started at the top point (or “V”) of the heart, wrapping my yarn in a single layer. I had to use glue to help hold the yarn until I got past to the curve of the heart and then it could hold itself! I completed one side at a… Continue reading…
