Wine Decanter with Wooden Stopper

Hi there, friends! Have you been to your local Goodwill store lately? If not, I'm going to let you in on a secret: they get brand-new Target merchandise every week! Yep, you heard it here. You can find Target stuff for even cheaper than their clearance prices quite often, so what are you waiting for? And while you're there, check out their houseware section for things you can upcycle with spray paint. It's one of my favorite ways to add style to our home on the cheap! Here's my latest upcycle: a wine decanter!

I picked up a glass decanter at Goodwill for $4 and it was such a good buy! It's made of really heavy glass, and I knew it would look great on our bar cart. To make it a little more interesting, I taped off and sprayed just the bottom with Looking Glass spray paint by Krylon (which I already had left over from another project). Then, I purchased a large wooden craft sphere to use as a stopper. The whole thing only cost $5.50!  Not to gloat, but you can find similar ones at West Elm, Pottery Barn and Amazon for way more.  This one on Amazon is over $30!

Here's mine all glammed up.

Lazy Susan Coffee Station

Hey, hello, how are ya? I finished up a couple of projects in our never-ending kitchen reno this weekend and boy, does it feel good to check stuff off the list. First off, I finally got around to organizing our coffee supplies in one corner of our counter by upcycling an old lazy susan. I made a coffee station on top of the lazy susan and put it next to our Keurig so everything would be nice and handy. Oh, and I used an old mug tree I bought for a buck at a sidewalk sale, too. All I did to make it look cohesive is spray paint both the lazy susan and the mug tree with white spray paint, then I decoupaged a piece of decorative paper the same color as our turquoise coffee mugs to the top of the lazy susan using Mod Podge. I added my cow creamer and a sugar packet holder for tea bags and voila! I love that I can spin the lazy susan to access mugs hanging on the back of the mug tree.

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups

Did you know Halloween is the third most popular holiday in America, topped only by Thanksgiving and Christmas? If you have kids, this probably comes as no surprise. Children anticipate Halloween almost as wildly as Christmas morning, mostly because of the candy, but also because of the fun class parties and costume parades that happen each year at school. I often volunteer for our kids' class parties because it's so fun to see all of the cuties in their costumes. Here's a Halloween class treat idea for you: Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups Steps Tear the foil lids off of the pudding cups and line them up on a rimmed cookie sheet or tray to make them easier to carry. Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs (you can use finely-crushed Oreos if you can't find the boxed kind) on top of the pudding. Put four waffle-style pretzels around the perimeter of each pudding cup to look like a fence. Put a candy-corn pumpkin in the center of each "pumpkin patch." Remember to brin...

10 Smart Storage Ideas

Something about the start of a new school year just screams, "Get organized!" at me. And this year, our oldest started kindergarten (sniff) so I'm even more crazed to purge, sort, and stack. Since I KNOW you know what I mean, I've compiled 10 of my favorite ideas for repurposing things you may already have into awesome-ly useful--and stylish--storage containers. Recycled glass jars with painted animal tops by House to Home CD tower turned on its side by Itsy Bits and Pieces Coffee cans covered with rope (source unknown) Crib rail used for book storage by Living with Lindsay Diaper boxes upcycled into cute storage crates by Mandy's Krafty Exploits Wire magazine racks used for fruit instead by Willow House Plain plastic bins Mod-Podged and with added wheels by Woman's Day IKEA Spice Racks added to a dresser by On the Banks of Squaw Creek A medicine cabinet disguised as a picture by Kate Pruitt courtesy of Country Living Plain boxes covered with maps...
