Easy DIY Fairy Garden

August 8, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! Just a few more Mondays left then it will be back to school for my guys…dread, dread, dreading it!  Although, I am ready for cooler weather, I am not ready for the grind of the school year.  I know a lot of you like the routine of school but I like the easy breezy relaxed feeling of summer…call me lazy!

Over the weekend, we had a few special visitors.  We were thinking of things to do while they were here and I thought it would be fun to make a Fairy Garden with a charming 2 1/2  almost 3-year-old little girl! I have been wanting to do this for a while and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do it and a chance to make some lasting memories!

How to Design an Easy DIY Garden/ Quick and easy project that is super simple and so adorable.

Today we are sharing how to make a Fairy Garden using a copper tub, a few supplies from Michael's Craft Store and and old tree log.

I picked up all the small accessories from Michaels and the plants from a local nursery.  When I first began thinking about making a Fairy Garden, I saw all these great ideas on Facebook and Pinterest. The options really are limitless.  We chose to use an old copper tub that we have had forever and instead of purchasing a Fairy House we chose to use an old log we had from cutting down a pine tree. Originally, we or should I say I had all these grand plans of how I wanted to cut the log and make a pitched roof…then I remember a 2 1/2 year old does not have the attention span to deal with all the planning and then the cutting that it would take to achieve the look I had in my head.  In the end, we went with her design and it turned out fabulous.  Basically, we place the log exactly where she wanted it and then she pointed to where she wanted each plant to be placed.  She placed all of the accessories like the bike, the water fountain, table and chairs, mushrooms, bench and gazing ball! We may have a landscape architect in the making.

It really is a sweet little design.  I have the copper tub at the base of our screened in porch out back leading to the pool.

Adding Charm to an Outdoor Space

This was such a sweet and fun little project.  It also adds a bit of charm to your outdoor space. I hope you enjoyed our little version of the Fairy Garden.

Friday Favorites: Christmas Edition Part 2

December 11, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Happy Friday! I am so glad the weekend is here.  The Gman and I are going to go on our annual Christmas outing.  We like to go to the local nursery and see the trains and decorations.  Then it’s off to do some of his Christmas shopping and dinner. I love to see how much thought he puts into each and every gift. My middle guy has his last final today and my oldest is home for a week before traveling back to school to take one last final. It should be a great weekend.

Now it is time to share some of my picks for Friday Favorites.  This is part 2 of my Christmas Edition.

Sharing some of my favorite Christmas finds.

Over the past couple of years, I have been filling some of my flower pots with fresh clipping to add some Christmas Cheer outside.  These will last me until late February.  This year I found some Christmas Floral Picks with large plastic ornaments. I found mine at our local Grocery Store but I have seem them at Home Depot too.  I had originally seen this idea on a Sarah Richardson’s Christmas Special several years ago.  (I am still waiting for some new Christmas shows on HGTV.)  This is my take on the outdoor planters.

I love a home all decked out for the Holidays!

Earlier this week, I went to Target.  I have not been there for a while and now I remember why. I absolutely love every single thing in there!  I was trapped for hours in just one section.  The pillows, the lamps, the Christmas Decor…I had to force myself to walk away.  Well, I did pick up  one little thing…

Target Holiday salt and pepper shakers

Are these not the cutest salt and pepper shakers you have ever seen?  I am itching to go back to Target…just to look!

Every year for as long as I can remember, my youngest has asked for Reindeer for the outside.  I have always said no because, 1.)We have so many decoration and 2.) We have no space to store anything else Christmas related.

He would stare longingly at our neighbor’s Reindeer every day and mention how nice they looked.

Well, this is what we have now!

Pre-lit Reindeer from Michaels

This was on sale at Michaels.  There are so many things I like about this Reindeer.   It  folds down into one small section. It all fits inside itself.  I like the glittery gold aspect of it and I like that the head moves when it is lit up.

So Gman, sorry I made you wait almost 10 years to finally get your reindeer! XOXO

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

Until Next Time,

Easy DIY Wreath

April 9, 2015 By stylishrevamp 10 Comments

I am sharing an easy DIY wreath.  The entire project took about 15 minutes and it has added a pop of color to my white kitchen. At Christmas time, I had a red berry wreath above the cooktop but I only wanted the pop of red during the Christmas Season.  If I were a bit more organized, I would have made an Easter wreath, maybe next year.

Adding greenery to the kitchen with a DIY wreath

I stopped by Michaels today and picked up my supplies with my 40% off coupon!

DIY Wreath

I trimmed up the greenery, then wrapped it around the grapevine wreath, overlapping as I went.  Super easy. I have been adding touches of green in both my kitchen and dining room.  I really like the pop of green against the white.  It just looks so refreshing to me. The shock of green, up against the cabinet in the kitchen and against the white dishes in the dining room,  really stands out to me. Can you tell it’s my latest obsession?

Adding greenery to the Kitchen

I just love when a project is simple and comes together like I pictured in my head.  So, what is your favorite color to use to add a pop of color to a neutral room?

Until next time…
