I'm embarking on a journey I've never taken before. I'm going to attempt to upholster dining room chairs and I'm terrified! We swapped dining sets with my father-in-law over the weekend. This is a pretty oak dining set but the cushions are killing me. See what I mean? I've never upholstered anything before so I've been busy bookmarking blog posts and Pinterest pages on how to do it.

I'm pretty sure my sister Kathy (from CreativeHomeExpressions) has used this same image on some of her beautiful pillows. It's so versatile - great for spring, fall and the holidays. I used...
Remember those candle tins I picked up at Goodwill over the weekend? Here's the before: And here they are now: I printed out some French script onto label paper. Then I used my Cricut to cut out the circles. I hand-stamped the French crowns on each circle and added some rhinestone bling. All I had to do was peel and stick to get them on my tins. I think they're going to be perfect for...
