It's time to start hammering out gift ideas for the holidays! Since homemade gifts are always a sweet idea, I wanted to pass along this simple DIY for making your own painted grip socks with a metallic star pattern! Now that we're experiencing sock-wearing weather, you'll probably find yourself wearing them all day and night. To give the bottom of your socks extra grip on hard floorin[...]
The following post is sponsored by Tulip Have you decided what to be for Halloween this year?? I'm just getting started on Halloween projects, but this easy ice cream cone costume is a quick favorite! Grab a dress and a set of Tulip Glitter Dimensional Paint, and you can cover the top of the dress with glittery sprinkles. After all, isn't everything better with a little glitter? Pa[...]
I've always loved paining, so I was excited to just let go this week and make this 5-minute wall art with monochromatic rainbows! As much as I love my ultra-colorful rainbow projects, I also wanted to create this monochromatic rainbow art that best fits our home decor. Decorating this apartment has been a challenge, but I'm excited to add this monochromatic rainbow art to the gallery[...]
I've been trying so hard to be a plant lady lately, and I was excited to bring home some creeping charlie from my parents' house that found a home in this DIY 3D graphic planter that I made based on this Anthropologie pot. These days I've been feeling a lot of "growing pains" in my life, and I thought that would be such a fun little saying for a planer! I loved the Anthropologie pot I[...]
The following post is sponsored by JOANN Is there such a thing as too many catch-all trays? I don't think so! Since I needed more around the house, I added this fluid painted marbled tray that I made out of a shadowbox photo frame from JOANN. That's right! This is actually a photo frame that I laid a fluid painted piece inside so that it's sealed with glass. Not only is it the perf[...]
Let's have a very shiny Easter this year! What's more shiny than DIY disco ball Easter eggs, complete with glittery silver paint?! These little disco ball eggs literally shine, and boy were they tough to master. I actually had TWO failed attempts at making these disco ball easter eggs before finding a successful technique - first with very thin nail tape (nope!) and then with Mod[...]
Let's celebrate Easter with all things 1990s, including these colorful 90s patterned Easter eggs! As you can probably tell from the archives, I love these abstract 90s patterns/80s patterns/Memphis patterns. I don't know what to call them other than colorful, abstract patterns, but I'm thrilled to see them popping up everywhere, including in the form of jewelry and clothing when we we[...]
It's official. This is my last Christmas DIY of the year, and it's bittersweet. I love Christmastime and I'm not ready for it to be over, but at least I'm giving myself a mini vacation while I enjoy the holiday. For my last Christmas idea, I wanted to channel my love of colorful doors and all-things Palm Springs, so I made a simple DIY colorful door ornament to dress up your Christmas[...]
The following post is sponsored by JOANN Yes, my apartment is fully decked out for Christmas, but that's not to say I'm not excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow too! Truthfully, I just have so much fun sharing Christmas projects that I have to get started early, including this new DIY gradient wreath! I currently have this faux fireplace that my dad made me positioned in my living room a[...]
It's almost the first day of fall, so I really need to get moving on my fall decor! My first step - aside from adding these temporary tattoo pumpkins everywhere - was to make a new candy jar to help fulfill my constant sweet tooth as we inch closer to Halloween. Since I'm not one for the very traditional fall colors, I decided to use three of "my" fall colors to make a simple[...]
