Paint Pour Art in Colorful Wood Frames

Remember a couple of weeks ago, when I made over a thrifted mirror using my favorite new craft technique; paint pouring? Well I’m back trying it again, and this time I think I like it even more! I made this wooden gallery wall for the girls’ bathroom using scrap wood, cheap canvases and more paint pouring!

Colorful Embellished Pumpkins

Fall is always a challenge for me decorating-wise. I LOVE the colors and scents and textures going on outside, but none of those things work so well for me INSIDE. Our home doesn’t have any rusts or reds or yellows, so this year… I decided to make fall decorating work for ME! Bring on the colorful embellished pumpkins!

Make Your Own Head Cut Out

This post is so silly, but I love it so much! My friend Caleb from You Can Make This Too, uses a cardboard cutout of his head and torso when he’s setting up a video to ensure proper focus. Essentially a cardboard stunt double so he can set up his shot properly. It always makes me chuckle when I see that cardboard head hovering in the background of his videos, so I had to make my own!

There is zero reason for this colorful tablescape other than the fact that I had the best time mixing and matching and putting it all together! Also, I’m joining forces with a gaggle of color-loving ladies to share all sorts of colorful ideas today so there’s that also. One of my favorite blog posts was this rainbow glass wall I pulled together for our kitchen. Turns out, it was also one of the easiest blog posts since it involved thrifting some glassware and painting the rest!

It’s been weeks, but… I can FINALLY share my super secret Rachael Ray related project! The producers challenged me to make over the girls bathroom on a budget and so I did for… SIXTY dollars. No lie… I truly didn’t spend any more than that! Here’s how the ol’ girl looked before I started. When I was telling Rachael about the room I described it as this space that didn’t reflect me or the rest of our colorful house. Ya think?

Are you all sitting down? You might need to be because this technique is so unbelievably cool and bada$$ that you’re going to swoon a bit. I’m talking paint pouring. Yep. The pouring of paint to make amazingly cool and marbled and variegated patterns…. super easy. Super satisfying. Here’s how you do it!

took advantage of a relatively quiet night watching Shark Tank to pull some of my favorites from the various Labor Day sales going on. I *may* have slipped a number of items into my cart… It’s still pretty mild up here in Connecticut, but I’m beginning to get a hankering for cozy fall clothes: booties and cardigans and camo. These are some of my favorites. I also link to home favorites further below!
