Greetings all!

This past week I shared an easy yet super sweet furniture makeover…

Pedestal side table makeover

 

2-tone Pedestal Side Table Makeover with Antiques sign

When I landed this cute pedestal table for free, it needed a makeover. When the leg finally fell off, that was my official sign to get painting and staining it in a 2-tone look, complete with a cute Antiques sign to polish it off! I love this little statement piece which has really upscaled my TV time snacking!

In other news, just today we had a summer-like day, so I dashed outdoors and did some early pressure washing! Tomorrow I’ll seal a couple of small decks and hopefully get some weeding done. All I know is, it feels SO good to be outdoors again!

Plus, you can’t see the clutter needing cleaning indoors when you’re outdoors, so there’s that… heh.

We’d like to set up our inflatable hot tub again sooner than later so now we will be ready!

To celebrate the beautiful weather we’ve been having, let’s also add an additional theme this weekend with some of your ‘favorite garden projects’ you’ve done in the past! It’s never too early to plan and inspire… I’ll add a couple of my own too!

So until there’s more to share in the great outdoors (or in), let’s visit these unique features from last week’s party, then get onto the new additions!

Spring egg carton garland

 

Egg carton carrot garland by Little Vintage Cottage

Oh my goodness… and to think I’ve been recycling my egg cartons when I could be making an adorable egg carton carrot garland! The shape is so perfect, and I love the texture the egg carton offers!

Hand-painted checkerboard carpet

 

Painted checkerboard jute runner by Sonata Home Design

Love a checkerboard pattern? Here’s how to hand-paint a checkerboard design on a carpet runner, front door mat, or whatever you wish! LOVE this classic pattern, which really elevates a blank canvas.

Cozy pom pom wrapped vases for winter

 

Pom Pom vases by Homeward Found Decor

If you’d like to add a little extra coziness to your winter decorating, grab some pom poms to create these darling pom pom vases that can be used for flowers, candles, and so much more! Love how the candle illuminates through the pom poms giving a snowball effect! So sweet! 

Candy box hats to wrap or decorate with

 

Vintage hat candy box by Little Vintage Cottage

If you like to DIY your own gift wrap, instead of ‘just a box’, why not create an adorable vintage hat candy box instead? Now that’s an elevated gift box if I ever did see one! Genius idea, isn’t it?

Clay pot garden houses

 

Strawberry Shortcake Garden Houses by Studio 27 by Jennifer Adams

Oh goodness… these clay pot garden houses styled around Strawberry Shortcake are darling to add to a strawberry patch! However imagine all the other possibilities… fairy houses, bird houses, you name it! I’m SO inspired…
