DIY pretty home made vases

hey everyone!

i told you folks i'd have a DIY for you, it's a little late but we were so caught up with finishing things around the house. turns out i found the inspiration i needed! my craft room is almost complete, our walls are finished, we have pictures hung, french doors up. when it's all said and done, i'll show you! for now, i'll show you these pretty DIY vases.

If you love vintage bottles & vases as much as i do, then you're going to like this. What you'll need:

  • latex paint in any colour you want
  • paint tray
  • bottles / vases or any glass wear you want.







it's seriously as simple as it gets.

1. plump a good amount of paint in to each bottle ( i used a large syringe for the skinny necked ones )
2. turn your bottle over and over until the inside is fully coated.
3. let the bottle sit upside down in your paint tray over night to dry!
4. find pretty flowers to put in them!








Voila!

Things i loved this week.

Hey everyone,

it's about that time again! here are my most magnificent finds this week. This week is my inspiration for home decor & pretty finds for the house. I have to admit, a lot of these posts will probably be in this category.









1. the most amazing owl motif wallpaper from abigail edwards, i just about died when i saw this on HGTV and googled and googled until i finally found it. Well i found it, and i bought it, and it's pretty much as amazing as i'm gushing it out to be. 2. these super pretty, super soft chevron curtains found at urban outfitters 3. the most amazing owl umbrella stand found at twos company. 4. these handcrafted own nesting dolls found at savageartworks. 5. you may remember a post from me where i oogled over this room with a similar big octopus picture, well i found a really cheap, not very well done counterfeit of it here, it's also not black. better than nothing! 6. call me crazy, but i've been in love with white hardwood floors since the white on white issues of Style at Home magazine. I wouldn't dare mention this to John, i know the look i would i get!
