Beautiful tin hearts with a textured paint treatment.

My goal is to reproduce this beautiful finish.

Sometimes my favorite thing to do is to go down to my workshop and just create. 
I start with an idea and gather pieces I think might work together... they don't always but most of the time I think they do. I call them junk creations. 
Today I'm starting with a glass vase, a vintage insulator and some textured paint to create an Easter Bunny. 
Take a look ...

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 recently bought a beautiful new comforter set that I absolutely love. The look of vintage dot chenille is gorgeous, cozy and in this color, neutral too! 

Every once in a while I skip the thrift store and go straight to the clearance department of one of my favorite stores.

Don't you just love it when you can change a thrift store find into something fabulous?! I sure do! Today I'm having some fun with a paint treatment that turned a few jars and terra cotta pots into perfect old world cement looking crocks.

These beauties on my mantel started out life as bright orange Dollar Tree pumpkins! You can't even believe the difference! When I received a box of textured paints from DecoArt #ad I knew they would make those inexpensive pumpkins look amazing! 

If you haven't seen the do it yourself terra cotta pumpkin craze you're going to want to try it. 
It's the easiest project with great looking results and you probably have all the ingredients you need at home right now. 
Take a look at mine...

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.

Today's Homeroad DIY project began as an experiment. 
I saw a beautiful vase in Hobby Lobby and I'm using it for inspiration today.
I wanted to see if I could come close to getting the look.
On a recent trip to the dollar store I grabbled 2 vases, one short and one tall.
You be the judge... did I come close to getting the look I was after? 

Have you ever done a DIY that had a lot of potential but you just didn't love it?
Did you ever think about making it over again?
Here at Homeroad I try to do projects that will apply to many styles... even if it isn't mine. 
Today I'm changing things up with this crazy post and making over a makeover... 

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!

Last year I bought an inexpensive metal fire pit for our backyard. You see them all the time on Facebook Marketplace too.
Fast forward to this year, we purchased a new fire pit so I had the old rusty one to either sell or upcycle. 
You guessed it... I'm upcycling it! 
This old fire pit made the best backyard stand planter!!

I just love turning something ho-hum into something I will use to decorate my home!
Today I'm turning another clear glass flower vase from the thrift store into a cute, cute vase for Spring flowers. 
You won't believe how easy it is to transform a thrift store find! 

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!

I love faux paint treatments and I'm always experimenting with something new. 
I've done several makeovers of glass vases recently but this time I've hit the holy grail of paint treatments! 
It's a recipe I've made before but this time I tripled the secret ingredient. 
You won't believe the after! ... 

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!

Good Morning friends! 
Today's project is for Valentine's Day and they are the cutest hearts made with air dried clay. I've seen so many ideas using air dried clay on Pinterestthat I couldn't wait to give it a try! 
I've used other air dried clay in the past with pretty good luck and since I'm all about trying new products, here goes! 
The best part is that you can make this project in any shape and for any occasion!

I love the look of galvanized steel and today I'm creating  the look using paint.
