I call this paint technique the lazy girl way to distress furniture.
Technically it's called the dry brush technique, but I like my name for it better. For this project, I found a not-so-pretty chair at Goodwill for only $4.99. It's a solid wood, Ashley Furniture Co. chair, probably originally a part of a set, with good bones. A while back I wrote THIS post about recovering an ugly chair, so be sure to check it out. For the lazy girl dry brush technique, you need a dry scruffy type brush, and your favorite color paint. For the distressed look, I literally gave it a one coat, "sloppy" paint job.

Log fires, blankets, mugs of hot chocolate, toasty warm socks… there’s something magical about this time of year. It’s been a misty, cold day here and we’re planning to light the first fire of the season tonight to celebrate the start of the weekend and our hibernation from the winter weather. In preparation I’ve made these pinecone firelighters, lightly scented with cinnamon and guaranteed to set the kindling alight with a pop and a crackle. I’d seen similar firelighters in the ever-divine Cox and Cox catalogue, but they’re not cheap and we have fires every night, so I decided to have a go at making my own, using research, trial and error to work out a way of creating them simply at home.
My research uncovered scarily complicated instructions involving double-boilers, safety goggles, wick-trimming and dipping and general scientific sorcery… so I applied some lateral thinking and came up with a much simpler approach. You’ll need: Firstly, gather all your pine cones. Like this: DIY Cardboard Deer Head. Tutorials | The Renegade Seamstress. Click on an image to see the entire sewing/refashion tutorial.

Sand Footprint Craft - Full DIY instructions! - Summer is my family’s favourite time of year – we’re very blessed to live 5mins away from many beautiful beaches. It’s not surprising to know we spend nearly every weekend during summer at the beach. I wanted to do a beach themed craft to celebrate the amazing summer we’ve just had.
