My Collections

Everybody told me I was making a huge mistake painting my small entryway a dark color… 😩 But the only thing I actually regret is letting other people’s opinions sway me in the first place. If you have an idea in your head, trust your gut and just try it. It’s your home, the only opinions that matter are from the people who live in it! 🫶 My entryway is moody, cozy, and a thousand times more inviting to me than a bright space ever would’ve been. And this black paint? It has the most beautiful copper undertones. Paired with warm walnut stain and brass finishes… the whole space feels rich, luxurious, and full of depth. Sometimes the “wrong” choice ends up being the perfect one. 🖤✨
No plumbing. No wiring. No DIY experience needed! 🙌 Just two pots, a solar pump, and a little imagination and now it’s the most peaceful finishing touch to my DIY Mediterranean garden. ⛲️✨ The best part? It runs completely off sunlight, which means no wires and no outlet needed. It’s honestly one of those projects that looks expensive but couldn’t be easier to make. 🔗 If you want the step-by-step tutorial (plus the exact solar pump I used and why), comment DIY below and I’ll send it straight to your inbox.

Where's the fun in building your husband a closet if you don't make it fancy? ✨💁‍♀️ when I took on this challenge , I had never used a circular saw before and yet somehow... I built this 🤯 Do not underestimate yourself, We are capable of so much, we just have to brave enough to try! 💗💪🔨 if you’ve been thinking about tackling some project at home yourself, and you want some inspiration, step-by-step tutorials or even just a friend to cheer you on, you’re in the right place! Hi, I’m Stacey, and I’m currently renovating my 60 year old fixer upper all by myself.

Tutorial Details 👇 1. Remove the top of the ornament so you can access the inside 2. Add a few drops of ink - the more you add, the richer the color will be. You can mix colors to make a pretty marble effect 3. Swirl the ink around the ornament. To get cohesive coverage you must keep swirling until completely dry 4. Dry the ink by blowing cool air into the ornament whilst swirling 5. (Optional) paint the tops of the ornaments gold to compliment the amber tone Enjoy your custom Amber ornaments! 🎄✨ 🔗 If you want the link to all the DIY supplies needed for this project comment "ORNAMENT" ----------------------------------------------- Hi!
