Make DIY art
You don’t have to be an artist to make gorgeous art! Buy an inexpensive frame or reuse one you have and frame a postcard, concert ticket, magazine photo, a gorgeous scarf, pillow cover, tea towel, placemat, some fun kids art, wallpaper, wrapping paper… or do like I did to create this stunning DIY marbled art that I have hung in our dining room!
You can create and hang a stunning DIY art piece in one afternoon and give your home a personalized one of a kind look!
2. Paint a dresser or end table
Give a blah dresser or end table a fresh new look with just a coat of paint! You won’t believe the difference it makes in your room! I used white and gray chalk paint to paint and stencil this dresser and give it a whole new look! Use any color you like to give your accent furniture pieces new life.
3. White wash terra cotta pots to display plants or herbs in your home
Terra cotta pots are super inexpensive but the terra cotta color can be easily changed! Clean some terra cotta pots you probably already have or pick up some new ones and give them a whitewash coat of paint that can be done in less than 5 minutes! Plant up your favorite plants or herbs and display them in your kitchen windowsill, on a tray on your kitchen island, on a foyer console table, on a bookshelf or on a tray on your coffee table! The effect is stunning and really gives you home a welcoming vibe.
4. Create a diy tile tray
Trays can be expensive but did you know you can easily make your own! This DIY tile tray that I made took me less than 30 minutes to make! Reuse tile you already have from a bathroom or kitchen reno or purchase a gorgeous piece of marble or designer stone tile to use! If you are just buying one pack of tiles the cost of this is incredibly low. Add some gorgeous cabinet handles to complete the look. You’ll have a tray that is perfect for displaying decor and serving food and drinks that you can leave out on your kitchen island, dining table or coffee table.
