Repurposed Cabinet Door Garden Chalkboard

This project began with another repurposed kitchen 
cabinet door.  A repurposed cabinet door and a piece of chalkboard I found at Tuesday Morning, a store by me that has a little of everything.

The first thing I needed to do was to choose a color for my cabinet door and since I love green I decided on a chalky paint by DecoArt that would be the perfect "garden green". 
I stenciled a bee from the DecoArt stencil Americana Decor Collection onto the chalkboard in white so it looked like chalk but would always be t…

Repurposed Cabinet Door Flower Box

A farmhouse styled flower box for Spring!
If you've been following along for a while you may remember the treasure of cabinet doors I found to repurpose and this project is another one of those fabulous free doors.  I began by attaching a wooden box that previously held flowers onto a cabinet door with glue and nails.  I painted the box with Raw Silk by Fusion Mineral Paint. It is my favorite white! I sanded the edges with a sanding block to distress the cabinet door.  The box that held the flowers luckily also came with floral foam and a plastic box. I covered the floral foam with a sheet of moss then added faux flowers and succulents to the moss. The plastic dropped right back into the wooden box on the cabinet door. The box could also be filled with pebbles and dirt for fresh flowers. …

Magnetic Farmhouse Dustpan Planter

I found this cute metal dustpan in the dollar spot at Target and couldn't wait to use it in my next project.  First, I wanted to attach a wooden crate to the dustpan, I put E6000 glue along one of the slats and the edge of the dustpan.  A heavy iron held the pieces together until the glue dried. 
I attached a DISC plate holder to the back of the dustpan. These are great for hanging things like plates to the wall because it allows them to lay flat against the wall. They are also removable.  I tied a length of jute through the handle and added a DIY enamelware numbered tagto the jute. 
I added small terracotta pots to the crate which can be filled with faux plants or real plants if you hang it outside.  Another cute feature is that the dustpan is metaland therefore magnetic. I added a seed p…

Vintage Jello Mold Centerpiece for Easter

I'm excited to share a new project made
using parts from a project I've made before. 

Several years ago I made an office organizerusing vintage jello cups and an old board. For this project, I began with a very chippy board from my workshop. The chippier the better! 
I found it on the beach a while back, it may have even been part of a boat after the hurricane we had here.  When you click on the blue Amazon affiliate links you will be taken to the products I use for this project. There is no additional cost to you and Homeroad receives a few cents to help me bring these projects to you! 
I love all the chippiness but I wanted to wax the piece so the chips wouldn't get all over my house. I used a white wax by Miss Mustard Seed then buffed it with an old shoe shine brush.  The next st…

Hand-Painted Shiplap Easter Egg

I found this shiplap looking Egg in the Dollar Spot at Target. 
The egg was $3 so I brought it home to decide what to do with it later. I thought about printing a vinyl sticker with my Silhouette machine but the egg has shiplap type cracks in the wood and the vinyl might not work. I thought about using a stencil but decided instead to hand-paint a sign using a Sharpie Paint Stick.

I drew the words onto the egg pallet with a pencil first then used the Sharpie Paint Stick to paint over it. When the paint dried I used a wh…
