lemontreecreations.blogspot.com/2011/05/doormat-wall-art.html I made these awesome wall hangings last year and they are one of the few decorations in my house that I have never gotten sick of or moved around. I saw the idea in Lowes Creative Solutions and obsessed over it until I could make them for myself. I shared them on my family blog at the time, but I've received so many compliments on them recently that I thought I'd share them here as well. I started off with a few pieces of poplar board, 1 inch x 12 inches x 6 feet. I sanded and stained the boards a dark walnut color, lined the edges with painters tape, and covered the boards with this doormat that I picked up from Lowes. I then spray painted 4 light coats of Valspar's Ivory through the doormat - 2 straight down on the mat and 2 from different angles to try to fill in all of the gaps. I allowed the paint to dry for about 30 minutes after the last coat, and when I pulled the mat off I literally squealed with delight. I'll be linking to these parties this week, so stop by to say hi!!
Inspire Me Heather: my pallet coffee tables Hello! My name is Heather and I write a DIY blog called Inspire Me Heather. Lately I've been busy with my own projects and making coffee tables out of pallet wood. I was inspired by this one, from the cover of Western Living magazine, it's free out here on the West Coast of Canada. See it there? Isn't it gorgeous? After dismantling your pallet we give it a really good clean. We found with our inside table that the wood shrank so now we put our wood indoors for about a week. We like this look for joining the sides and legs - my hubby does this for me, he's awesome! Then we screwed it together on the inside for added support. I fill in any nail holes on the outside from the pallet now. Those boards are just resting on the top for now. Then it's the painting. Then comes lot's of sanding. So easy to use, just make sure your surface is clean. When I was happy with the look, I gave it a coat of Polycrylic in matte to protect it and then it's done. Thanks for visiting,~ HeatherLinking up to:
Letter Art « 346 Living 6 Jun Hi All! Hope your Monday is going well. We all know the zinc letters at Anthropologie, right? Well they’re totally cute but at $18 a pop, that just won’t do. I decided to DIY them by using paper mache letters I got at Joann Fabrics. I sprayed it pretty heavy so I could get that blotchy uneven look. And here they are hung up in the kitchen! Ok next up! We used these two colors, first he sprayed the top coat in the lighter gold and then lightly sprayed some of the darker gold over it. Here they are on top of our mantel, I’m obsessed. I love how using two colors made them look a bit more aged and not so perfect. This project was so easy and fun, I seriously want to keep going but can’t think of anything else cute to write. I’m definitely going to do this in the babies room. Like this: Like Loading...
a table to dine on {and me, ridiculously happy about it}. This table has been a long time coming. I selectively pieced it together and spent hours just sitting and staring at it. How is that necessary, you ask? Well, this table is important to me. Technically, this was my first big commission {hence me saying that it should have been done months ago}, but that is why it will have it's place in history. And some questions that I am anticipating are answered as follows: No, I did not photoshop that pigeon into the photograph. Then, on an aside, have you read this post yet? And one last thing.
DIY Tuesday: Rustic Pencil Holder I don't know about you, but I've seen a lot of rustic accessories and tableware popping up all over design blogs lately. The wood cake stand is one of my favorites, and I'm hoping to be able to make one soon so I can share the DIY with you!I love the idea of bringing the outdoors in through rustic or organic design elements. Which is why I was thrilled when my husband made me this wooden pencil holder. The piece of wood is one that his friend found by a river bank. My husband just added a few holes to it, sanded down the edges, and made it into a functional decorative piece for my art room. Click below to get the tutorial...it's super simple! Rustic Pencil HolderMaterials & Tools Needed Hand saw Small slice of wood either from a large branch or tree base (mine is a piece of poplar about 6" in diameter) Drill (with a drill bit size of about 7/16") Sand paper Step 1.

How to Make Rainbow Table - Craftspiration I love Mondays like this. It is sunny and warm, Anya has been smiling or sleeping and Simon’s showing me a bunch of new inspirations for today’s posts. What is more, Dorian is happy to start his holidays, and strawberries are so sweet. This is a perfect day for anything you’ve wanted to complete for a long time. I have discovered recently that colors of the rainbow make me happy more than others (I bet there are more of us out there). A Rainbow Table. Could you think of any other colors combinations? Go to this link to see Lady’s Croissant Rainbow Table. Here is Elise’s Taped Work Table.
The Easiest Pillow Cover Ever This is the easiest pillow cover ever. No measuring! No sewing! Just fold and tie. You need a piece of fabric 3 times as wide plus a few more inches and twice as tall plus a few more inches as the pillow. Place the pillow in the center, on the wrong side of the fabric. I used pinking shears to cut the fabric so it wouldn’t fray. Then fold the top down to the center. Fold both ends like the picture. Bring one side over the top of the pillow. Then the other side. Now tie the ends in a square knot. Ta-Da! I love the knot. And it looks great on the loveseat. It even looks great on the back if I want to switch sides. I’m linking to these awesome blog parties:
Bavardages – DIY, lifestyle, graphisme & cie. » La table cubique La table basse dans laquelle on investi lorsqu’on est étudiant, c’est souvent une table Ikea et elle bien loin d’être unique ! Je vous montre et vous explique comment j’ai relooké la mienne qui commençait furieusement à me lasser. 1 – Pour réaliser ce tuto, il vous faudra des bombes de peinture et leurs caps, une règle, un crayon pour les tracés (de type posca), du ruban adhésif de masquage et du vernis en bombe. Pour la peinture, j’utilise des bombes Montana (bonne tenue, large choix de couleurs et séchage rapide). 2 – Dans un premier temps, il faut bien nettoyer la surface puis on s’attaque aux tracés. Choisissez au préalable la taille de cubes que vous voulez, j’ai choisi de faire des cubes de 30 cm de large. 3 – Voici venir l’étape chiante : placer le ruban adhésif. 5 – Une fois le scotch enlevé, vos bords ne seront pas toujours nets, pas de panique, j’ai une solution.
