Painted Compass Table

August 13, 2013 By stylishrevamp 8 Comments

I finally started and completed the free side table that I got on the Island.  It sat in my garage for a few weeks because  I couldn’t make up my mind as to what I wanted to do with it.  So every time I went to get in my car there it sat reminding me that I needed to get to work.  So here it is completed…

I used Louis Blue Chalk Paint.  This time around, I found it to be very easy to use. I love the texture it gives to the piece. It looks weathered and kind of washed out.  It will fit in nicely at the Island home.  Once the paint dried, I applied a compass transfer that I order from amazon.com  Also, very easy to use.

So the next time you see a piece of furniture that has seen better days just remember with a little paint you can completely revamp it into something new.

So it went from this…

to this…

Remember this magazine holder/basket that I found at Goodwill….

Well, I got the spray paint out again and painted it white…Surprise, surprise.  It is now in my family room and I think it looks great.

Attic/Loft Side table

July 29, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

We went to the Island Home for a long weekend and I was able to get a few things done.  One of the things I was able to complete was the milk can side table with the nautical tray that I showed you here.  I didn’t want a large table so I think this fits perfectly by the chaise and it is the right size for a cup of coffee.

Nautical Code Flags

July 25, 2013 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

When we were in Maine last summer I saw the Nautical Code Flags for sale in many of the shops.  They were made of wood and they were used to spell out different words.  Instead of forking over all that money I kept thinking that I could make them myself for next to nothing.  Well, today was that day.

Supply list:  wood cut to any size you want.  I used 6″ by 4″

Acrylic paint in red, white. blue, black and yellow

foam brush

painters tape

craft paint

Once I decided which letters I was going to make in the International Code Flag, I taped off the design and painted my first color.  Once that was dry, I taped the second part of the design. This is what I ended up with and I have to say I am glad I didn’t buy them last summer because they look just like the ones I saw in the shops without the big price tag!

I am not sure where they are going but I do know I will find a home for them.

How to Make A DIY Driftwood Wreath

July 23, 2013 By stylishrevamp 10 Comments

A few days ago I finally decided to use the driftwood that the boys and I have been collecting from the rip rap at our Island Home.   I got the idea from The Wood Grain Cottage which you can find here.  I absolutely love the idea of a driftwood wreath so today I am going to share with you how to make a DIY Driftwood wreath of your own.

How to Make a DIY Driftwood Wreath/A simple guide to making a driftwood wreath

My supply list includes:

Foam wreath form

Burlap

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Driftwood (twigs from your yard if you do not have access to driftwood)

My Supply list for a Driftwood Wreath.

How to Make a DIY Driftwood Wreath

First, I wrapped the foam wreath form in burlap an attached it with hot glue. This was super simple.

The 1st step in making a driftwood wreath, wrap your foam wreath form in burlap.

Once the form was completely cover with the burlap I started adding pieces of the driftwood

2nd step in making a DIY driftwood wreath, adhere pieces of driftwood to the burlap covered foam wreath form.  Add pieces in an off set pattern around the wreath.

…and more driftwood

Continue adding driftwood until the entire wreath form is covered.

Until I came up with this:

Completed driftwood wreath

Let it completely dry before hanging.  This was a super easy project although a bit messy.  I am thrilled with how it turned out.  Thanks Shayna from The Wood Grain Cottage for this great idea.

I took the finished wreath down to the Island Home where we found all of the driftwood to begin with and added it to my kitchen.  I have to say that it fits in perfectly. What do you think?
