Home Decor Pieces - Spring Decor is Coming!




Hello, Hello,

Its now March and I can feel the spring approaching and I’m getting so excited to start some spring/Easter décor. So far I have a few crafts planned out and I can’t wait to get them started. I have recently popped into HomeSense and checked out all their pretty spring décor, its looking lovely, lots of pretty pastels and bright whites. I picked up a small perfume tray for only 12 bucks and it matches my makeup table perfectly. I also wanted to post some more signs that my mom and I have made and sold.

Happy Friday!

If you want a custom sign made you can always message me!

Raspberry, blueberry, yogurt and oatmeal muffins!


Brandy Melville Black Coat
 Brandy Melville Black T-shirt/slit top
Grandma's Cream & Black Knit

Hi All!

Before I give you my raspberry, blueberry, yogurt and oatmeal muffin recipe, I would like to chat about some vintage clothing I have recently inherited. As most of you know, my grandmother passed away a few weeks ago and it’s been my duty to help clean out her closet! While sorting through, I found tons of beautiful knitted cardigans, sweaters, denim button ups and plenty of vintage costume jewelry pieces. Today, I wore a one of grandmothers knitted sweaters. It’s black and cream, with some black beadwork on the front. The only thing I needed to adjust was the shoulders pads... ripped those things right out! Check out my newest vintage knit! --->

Raspberry, blueberry yogurt & oatmeal muffins.




Now back to the muffins! These muffins are the exact same recipe as the pervious muffins I just made. (Blueberry, oatmeal, yogurt and orange zest muffins) Click the recipe in PINK to make my newest muffins, But the only difference is to add 1 cup of raspberries instead of the orange zest!! 

ALSO, as you can see I added some pink & red sprinkles to the top of the muffins to give them a vday flair.

Good luck & happy baking!

Nail Polish Storage


Hey guys, unfortunately I won’t be posting any further crafts this week. My grandmother passed away today due to lung disease. This is an extremely hard time for me because my grandmother was like a mother to me and in fact a mother to all her grandchildren. She will be dearly missed. Anyways, I have gathered as many photos that I could of my grandmother today, and I’m putting a collage together that I hope turns out as beautiful as she was. I will post my finished product!

Here are some crafts that I have been working on over the weekend, a nail polish storage jar and using pervious valentines crafts on new items. I really liked how the nail polish looked in an old crown jar, looks great in your bathroom or makeup area.

Enjoy Guys!

Diy Barn Board Headboard


Over the past few weeks I have been putting together a headboard for my double size bed. I came across this idea through Pinterest. I was looking into purchasing a new headboard but they were too expensive, so I did some researching and came across a DIY headboard. I choose to create a rustic look using old barn boards that I found at my grandad's farm.

This project is really inexpensive and easy to do!

Items you’ll need to create a DIY barn board headboard:
9 Barn boards
Saw
Screw Gun
Screws
Wire brush
Electric Sander
Chestnut Stain
Varnish
Paintbrush

Step 1: Once you have 9 barn boards, set 2 aside. Use the other 7 boards and measure them to be about 1 foot longer then your bed. Once the boards are measured at the same length cut them. Use the other 2 boards and place them vertical on the back of the 7 boards. Use a screw gun and screw each board into the 2 vertical boards.

Step 2: Once the boards are all screwed together you can now see the outline of what your headboard is going to look like. My barn boards were dirty so I used a wire brush, kind of like a bbq brush and brushed all the dirt off.

Step 3: Once all the dirt is completely off the headboard you can start sanding. Now plug in your electric sander and sand the entire front of the headboard and all its edges. Sand until the headboard is soft and smooth.

Step 4: Once the headboard is completely sanded you can now start painting. Grab your paintbrush and chestnut stain and do 2 to 3 coats of stain each time a layer has dried.

Step 5: Once all the stain is dried, do 1 coat of varnish. You can also do 1 coat of varnish on the back of your headboard too.

EXTRA: There are multiple ways to hang the headboard against the wall. You can screw 2 large hooks in the back of the headboard and mount the headboard on the wall or you can add legs to the headboard.

Hope you guys love this project just as much as I did!

Vintage Chair Reupholstered



For the past few weeks I have been working on redoing a pair of old vintage chairs. I was given one of these chairs from my grandmother, which she received at her wedding over 50 years ago! And the second identical chair came from my boyfriend’s great grandparents, which they also received over 50 years ago. Since these chairs have been passed down through our family members, it was finally our time to accept the chairs. We decided to redo them and bring them on our new adventure to Vancouver in the New Year.

Things you’ll need to redo your vintage chair:
Old Chair (Garage sale, Grandparents House)
Sander
Black Acrylic Paint
Water
Paintbrush
Varnish
Upholstery Service (I used David’s Upholstery)

Step 1: If your old chair has any wooden pieces on it, you’re going to have to sand and stain those pieces. I used a hand sander and sanded the arms and legs down. I sanded each piece until the old shiny varnish was no longer there.

Step 2: Once the arms and legs are sanded, mix black acrylic paint with a lot of water so it’s almost clear. The water and black paint makes a black stain. Paint the arms and legs with the black stain. Do at least 2 coats until it’s the color you'd like.

Step 3: Pick out a funky fabric for your chair or a fabric that is going to match your home decor. I chose black and white. I chose the black and white pattern at the upholstery store and then they had the fabric ordered in. Remember you’re going to need at least 2 and half yards for each chair.

Step 4: Once the arms and legs are completely dried you can take your chair to whichever upholstery service that is the closest to you and have the upholstery part completed.

My Darling Table


This week I decided to redo an old side/coffee table that I found at my boyfriends house. This project was definitely the longest and hardest to do so far.. but of course, it’s the best one I’ve ever done!

These are the items you’re going to need to redo your table:
An old or new side/coffee table
Sander
Varnish (water based)
Wood Stain (chestnut)
Aqua Sea Acrylic paint
Paint Brush
White Acrylic Paint
Tape
Pencil
Ruler

 Step 1: After you have chose a table you would like to redo you can now plug in your sander and sand every edge of the table making sure that all surfaces are no longer shiny or have any type of varnish or finish left on.

Step 2: Once the table is completely sanded you can now start painting the legs and if theres a little shelf under the table like mine, you can paint that a solid color too. I chose to go with a greeny blue. This paint color is called Aqua Sea and it’s an acrylic paint that can be purchased at any craft store. Do at least 2 coats of paint until every inch is completely covered.

Step 3: Once the table legs have dried you can now use your wood stain, which can be purchased at Home Hardware. I chose chestnut because I wanted my table to look darker. Take a paintbrush and stain the top of the table and the edges. Only do 1 coat.

Step 4: After the stain has dried, take a paintbrush and do one coat of varnish to the top and edges of the table. The reason why you should varnish, is because if you get paint on the stain, it will wipe off easily and the varnish will also give the table a shiny look.

Step 5: Once the varnish has dried you can now take out your ruler and measure how many stripes you would like to put on the top of the table. Even out the stripes out so that each side is either stripes or no stripes, this is where I messed up.

Step 6: Once you have measured your stripes out evenly, take a pencil and a ruler and draw on the stripes. After the stripes have been drawn on, you can use any type of tape and just place the tape on one side of each stripe .The tape helps you see the lines and it prevents you from putting paint onto the varnish side.


Step 7: Mix the white paint with the varnish so that it thins the white out and gives it a glosser look. Use the paintbrush to do big brush strokes so that the white doesn’t completely cover up the stain underneath.

Step 8: Once the top of the table is dry, take the tapelines off of the table. Use the varnish to go over every inch of the entire table just to seal all the paint  in and to give the table a shiny look. Once the varnish has dried you are completely done and now can start using your table! Hope you enjoyed this project!

Extra: Step 9: This step is only if you messed up your lines or wanted to add a quote to your table. Unfortunately, I messed my lines up and decided to paint on a quote, just to make the table look more professional. The quote I chose is “oh darling, lets be adventures’. To paint a quote on, I printed out a quote on Microsoft word, and then taped the quote where I wanted it to be on my table. I then used transfer paper that can be bought at any craft store, and put the transfer paper under the quote and used a pencil to trace the quote on. Once the quote was transfered onto the table, I used a thin paintbrush and white paint to paint the quote in. I did 3 coats of paint until the quote looked bold.
