We are huge elf fans in our house (our elf is named Sparkly Hearts!) and are firm believers that we need to make sure they know that they're welcome to come in. I thought that making a Holiday Elf Door would be perfect! It can go anywhere in or outside the house and you can easily decorate it in the look you want with DecoArt paints. This post first appeared on the DecoArt blog. I used: rustic pallet arch from Walnut Hollow DecoArt Color Stain in White, Kelly Green, Deep Berry, ... Read More

Metallic Painted Fall Vase
Fall is my absolute favorite season of the year. The rich colors, leaves, pumpkins, those cooler temperatures...I love it all. I start getting really antsy to decorate around mid-August, and I've been even antsier this year with my limited resources. I keep dreaming about projects like this display I created last year. I really wanted a big piece that screamed fall in my entry to go on our table. With just a few pieces and DecoArt's Metallic Paint, I created a Metallic Painted Fall Vase that I ... Read More

Floral Painted Summer Shoes
Sometimes you just need something totally fun and frivolous in your wardrobe. The weather in Chicagoland has been frustrating--we just want it to get warm and sunny and stay that way!

I decided to go for something bright and cheery that would be fun to pair with a basic outfit while we're waiting for ... Read More
Easy Rustic Americana Banner
I've always equated summer decorating with red, white, and blue everywhere. I have had a soft spot for Americana decor for as long as I can remember and love being able to pull it out. This month's Craft Lightning prompt is Patriotic and I just so happened to need something new to hang on our front door. After a quick rummage through my crafty stash, I had everything I needed to create this Easy Rustic Americana Banner. Supplies: DecoArt Americana Paint in Wedgwood Blue, Cherry Red, ... Read More
Hawaiian Inspired Pallet Hanging
This post first appeared on the DecoArt blog in my capacity as a Core Blogger. Having kids on summer break can be a very drippy experience. We spend a lot of time at the neighborhood pool and wet towels and bathing suits end up all over the house. I realized too late last year that I just hadn't set up a place for the girls' wet things. Get ahead of summer this year with a basic pallet, a fun stencil, some pretty knobs, and Outdoor Living Paint! I created a fun Hawaiian Inspired Pallet Hanging ... Read More
