Here's a really easy DIY project for Halloween. I like to add decorations all over my house for any holiday, but the bathroom always presents something of a challenge. So I made some quick Halloween soaps to add to our soap dish. All you need is some glycerin soap (I used black), paper, a printer and of course some fabulous images from The Graphics Fairy. I used a vintage dictionary page with a skull, a...
I picked up this little wood crate for $2.99 at Goodwill last week. It was just a plain ol' run-of-the-mill boring wood crate. I decided to jazz it up a bit with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White. I gave it two coats and then sanded down the edges for a shabby look. I used this great French banner from The Graphics Fairy on both sides. I added the "le jardin" using the French Script...

The little white frame is from Michael's but I scored it at a garage sale for 25 cents. I used a...

While, cleaning up the garage, I found some bathroom tiles that we've had forever. I just can't seem to toss them. So I stared at them for awhile this morning and thought: wouldn't they make for some cute refrigerator magnets? So I made some! I bought this...
We had the perfect weather here this weekend to get a little spray painting done. I immediately got to work on the cloche stand I got from the Unique Thrift Stores. You can see the before in the post preceding this one. Here is the after: I used pink for a soft, spring look. I added a vintage lace doily on the bottom and this little nest with eggs. I thought it was still missing...
Remember that Home Goods wood tote I posted about last week (here)? Here it is now: I originally wanted to paint it white but I ran out half way through. Plan B: pink. I wanted to make it really girly and yes, it is in our bathroom - right on top of the loo (so much nicer than saying toilet). The starfish hand towels are from Pottery Barn. I added some vintage lace on...
