We all have them... those old heirloom pumpkins we bought years ago to decorate our homes for Fall. 
Fast forward a few years, they've been stored in bins in the basement or garage and they now have bumps, bruises, and scuffs you didn't notice until it was time to take them out again. 
I don't know about you but mine even get batted and bounced around by the grandchildren when they're on display during the season. 
I've finally decided it was time for a mine to get a makeover!

I saw the cutest cement look lanterns in Anthropologie lately and I knew I could find a lantern and duplicate the look with my own spin. 
Cement paint is one of my favorite things to make and I've made it several different ways in the past. 
Today I'm using the easiest paint treatment on a thrifted lantern to give it a great look!

Oops I did it again! I repurposed another old piece of wall art. 
I had a long horned bull picture that used to belong to my daughter hanging in the basement. It had faded and now it was a pink long horned bull. 
I knew I should hang on to it because one of these days I was going to repurpose this pink bull and today is that day!

Today I'm documenting a project I've had in mind for a very long time. 
My ideas for this project have changed several times so I'm glad I didn't get started until I was sure. 
I'm painting all the interior doors on my first floor and it is kind of a funny story. 
I'm in love with the color and it might not be what you think...

This project is the result of a little bit of experimenting with paint.  
Sometimes I just love to mess around with paint and see what happens. Today's happy accident gave me the look of vintage metal on an old bowl that I was tired of being white. 
Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose but today's experiment was a winner!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time. 
I saved a few good sized plastic planters from last year that I wanted to give a makeover. 
I'm creating a paint treatment that will make ugly plastic pots look like they have texture and they've been out in the garden for a season.

Recently I moved my potting bench from one end of the yard to another. 
It looks amazing in it's new spot so I gave it a makeover. I had several new DIY ideas for the table that would make my potting bench work for me.

I'm setting up our outdoor space for Spring with all new cushions and planters. Did you know you can paint outdoor furniture and pots? 
My problem right now is the old dingy deck boxes and cabinet on our deck. 
Today I decided to paint them and boy was that a good idea! 
See what I mean...

So every once in a while when I see something I want to copy on the internet, I try to locate the original source by doing a google image search. 
Today I saw this amazing black textured vase that didn't look that hard to create and I was right! 
All you need is an old vase, some paint, and a few felted pom poms!

I found a cute set of round wooden boxes with lids at the thrift store recently. 
I stained the boxes and gave them knobs for handles but then realized I could do more. 
Using a fun tin ceiling tile from the dollar store and gave these cute little boxes an easy and amazing makeover!

I love the look of rusty tin ceiling tiles only they aren't very easy to find and can be quite costly if you do. 
Today I'm going to show you how to create the look of a rusty tin ceiling tile for a dollar. Well $1.25 to be exact! 
I'm going to make a rusty tin ceiling three leaf clover to decorate for St. Patrick's Day and I'll show you how!

Right now I'm working on decorating my guest room on the cheap! 
My children are finally ready to fly the nest and I'm ready to repurpose those rooms! 
Today I'm using an old cabinet door with a very simple makeover with just a few supplies I had at home. I'm sharing what I used, what worked and a funny story about what I found.

This fun Christmas sign is multi-dimensional. 
I made a big mess doing it too! I saw the sign that inspired me on Vintage Farmhouse but I got carried away and ended up with a very different version. 
If you like to create and love making Christmas signs and a mess while you're doing it then this one is for you! 
Take a look! 

I am loving this beautiful new speckled Robin's egg blue color for the Spring and it was purely a happy accident.

Recently we had several bouquets of flowers delivered in those standard clear glass vases you see all over the thrift stores. Most of these will be donated but I saved the best one to repurpose! 

Recently I had the chance to help my daughter with renovations in her new house. She had a plan to do easy board and batten on the walls. Putting up the board and batten in my daughter's house led to me wanting to do it in my own house. This post is a combination of how we did easy board and batten in 2 houses. 

Are you always looking for the next update in your home? If you're like me I never stop thinking. I sit in the living room and look around and think about what I could change next. This project was one that took me 20 years to do and I do not know what took me so long! 

First today I'm going to show you how to create a sign I made a while back for the Fall. Then last year when I took down the Fall decor and got ready to put up the Christmas decorations... I had a great idea. 

Today, I'm re-sharing an easy idea from a few years past. An old window I found on the side of the road got a makeover and took on a whole new life.

It's time again for another Dollar Store makeover and frankly, it's definitely time for Spring!  These little signs are perfect for sitting on a surface. They look great on a shelf or in a tiered tray for Spring decorating.
