Mad Hatter Garden Decor Made with Thrifted Items
Make fun Mad Hatter Garden Decor with items from Goodwill! This is a sponsored post but all ideas and opinions are my own. Warmer weather sends me straight to my garden, which I like to fill with lots of brightly colored flowers. I've been decorating my garden with a "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" theme in mind, making whimsical dragonflies and a brightly colored table for my outdoor space. It made sense to create something inspired by the Hatter himself, and that's how this idea was … [Read more...]

Make a Headboard Stocking Hanger
This headboard stocking hanger is a fun yet useful piece of home decor for the holidays! I used an inexpensive twin sized headboard from Goodwill San Antonio to make a beautiful, sturdy hanger for my family's Christmas stockings. With young kids, it's been a struggle to find a safe way to hang Christmas stocking. Pre-kids my husband and I used heavy metal stocking hangers, the kind that you perch on a mantle. I didn't want to use that with my kids, fearing that they might accidentally … [Read more...]
Make a Head Light Lamp
I got this doll head in early August, and I'm not going to lie, I've been having some fun with it! First, I started placing it in odd places, a la "elf on the shelf", to surprise my kids with. Let's just say that they weren't as amused as I was. Then I tasked my oldest two sons with a project. Create a story and Photograph the doll head to illustrate their tale. I was really impressed with their short films. (Go to the end of this post to check them out!) Finally, however, I created … [Read more...]
Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Decor Tutorial
I'm a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, first the Disney movie and, as I became older, the original story by Lewis Carroll. The story has inspired me to create a teapot birdbath (pictures HERE), a door table (HERE), and a bird feeder (HERE). When I was given the opportunity to work with Deep Red Stamps and choose from their site, I literally jumped for joy when I saw the Wonderland stamps they have available on their site. I combined their stamps with some of my favorite Xyron tools to … [Read more...]
DIY Tuffet Side Table or Bar Stool
I was excited to be given the opportunity to create in a "tuffet challenge" with the master makers on the Fairfield World design team! We were each given an uber plush foam cushion and our choice of some fabulous Robert Kaufman fabric and encouraged to be creative! I paired my cushion with a thrifted bench from Goodwill San Antonio to create a mod fabric side table! As an added bonus, it can also be used as a bar stool. The first thing I did was spray paint the legs of this well used stool … [Read more...]
Make a Retro Clock Purse
Earth Day is coming up soon, so I'll be sharing some ideas for ways to turn "trash" into something useful. I just love to craft with thrifted and recycled items, so "earth day" happens almost everyday for me. In the past I've turned kitchen whisks into garden art and made my own watering pails for pennies. With this project, I'm turning a broken clock into a fun retro inspired accessory! I've had this idea for a for a long time, and I'm so excited to finally make what I've been … [Read more...]
Designer Inspired Ottoman made with Chalk Finish Paint
While I've always admired furniture painting projects on TV shows like "Flea Market Flip", I never attempted one myself because I don't have the patience for big projects like that. Sanding, priming, staining....ugh! I would lose interest before ever completing the project. Then I tried Americana's Chalky Finish Paint, and my views changed. No tedious prep work required with this product: Just paint it! Now I paint thrifted furniture all the time. I've been decorating my house with … [Read more...]
