Thrift Store Owl Jewelry Holder

This was a fun piece to make. I had bought this little wooden guy at my local thrift store for $1.00 and had originally planned to just paint him white, put some mesh on him and call it a day. But I was in the mood to get my fingers covered in some colour so I changed my mind and went a little more mixed media on him. After painting him white and then adding layers, I put some hardware cloth on the back and two hooks (I think they look like feet) for some hanging jewelry. I hope she likes it!

Have a great day!!

Thrift Store Makeover for Gallery Wall Art for Miss D's Room

I've been trying to come up with some art to make for the girls gallery walls. Miss D loves Beyonce and I thought a quote from her would be fun to do. I had bought this owl art at my local thrift store a year ago and knew it would be perfect for what I wanted to do. I had some prints that I had made with my DIY gelli plate that had all the colours that are in her room. So I used those to make the little frame on the piece. The hearts were embossed to add some background to it. I used some transfer paper to transfer the image that I made in photoshop. The BEYONCE part was just stamped. Hope she likes it!

Have a great day! I'm home with a sick little boy today so hoping he feels well soon!

DIY Thrift Store Makeover for Downstairs Bathroom

I have fallen in love with this free printable from Design, Dinning and Diapers and knew right away what I was going to do with this old frame I got at the Thrift Store for $2. I first white washed the frame to give it more an aged look by watering down some antique white paint. I then grabbed my gesso to cover up that wolf, and then painted the whole surface with antique white paint.

I printed the free printable and with some graphite paper, transferred the image onto the surface. To get a flat black look, I used black chalkboard paint to fill in the tap and the word WASH.

I love how it turned out!

It's snowing buckets here so I hope you are all having better weather!!
