There is a VITAL TRICK to painting laminate IKEA furniture! I had tried painting Billy bookcases before and FAILED, but this trick worked!
Make every square inch count with these six easy-to-follow IKEA hacks.
How To Make Fairy Furniture Fairy furniture is my new obsession! I just love the idea of taking elements from nature and using them to create tiny sculptures. And it doesn't hurt that it's finally starting to feel like spring here. Today, we're going to make three furniture items: a fairy bed, a fairy candle stand and a fairy harp. Here is what you'll need: Twigs Moss Acorn tops Bark Glue (I used Gorilla glue) Flowers (dried or paper) Natural twine/string Air-Dry Clay Thin wire Fairy Bed To make the fairy bed, start by building the head and foot boards. I broke twigs into similar sizes and laid them out, gluing them together. When the head and foot boards were done, I used twigs to attach them together and form the base/sleeping area of the bed. When it was dry, I added moss, gluing it into place and also acorn tops for the top of the bed posts at the head of the bed. Then I glued paper flowers and more moss to the posts. Fairy Candle Stand To build the candle stand, I used a piece of bark as a base, then attached a twig. It was difficult to glue the twig directly to the bark, so I took a small amount of air-dry clay and attached it with glue to the bark, then I put a dot of glue onto the top of the clay and stuck the twig to it. This helped stabilize the twig while the glue dried and attached it. The twig itself had a "Y" in it. This created a cradle for the acorn top. I glued the acorn top upside down to make a bowl shape. I created a "candle" using clay and a bit of wire. I just worked the clay into a candle shape and stuck the wire through to create the "wick." I attached it into the acorn top with glue and then added moss around it and moss at the base. I had a hard time getting the twig to stay, so I added a bit of clay and a dot of glue on top of that, then covered it with moss. Fairy Harp For the harp, I used a V-shaped twig. It already had buds on the ends, but you can add buds or flowers if you don't have a twig with buds on it. I glued a thin twig to connect the V-shape of the twig. I used clay and glue to secure the bottom of the V-shaped twig to the inside of an acorn cap. Then I secured it to a piece of bark as a base. I used moss to hide the clay and fill in gaps. To make the strings, I used cut pieces of natural twine, gluing them to the twigs as shown. And there you have it! Three pieces of fairy furniture for your fairy garden. Want MORE ideas?

Recently as I was scrolling through my instagram, I came across a really fun reel by @homeliving5 showing a fun DIY that involved taking vintage prints and turning them into magnets for your refrigerator! I quickly saved it to my favorites and then to my surprise a few people actually sent me the same video in my instagram dm's thinking that I would love this project, which I did! I had plenty of old gorgeous vintage prints in delicate frames laying in piles around the house waiting for me to find a home for them. I was so exited to finally find a place for these beauties and transform my refrigerator into a work of art...or maybe an art gallery. I did have a few frames hanging around that were empty and I knew that I wanted to use those too. Years ago I wallpapered a room in my house with bible pages, I still had the old bible and I knew there were lots of beautiful prints inside. It was fun turning the crinkly pages and finding the perfect prints for each frame. This little print featuring three children carrying florals was absolutely darling and was a perfect fit for this frame. This square frame felt more masculine, so I added a depiction of Cain and Abel. I ordered a roll of Magnet adhesive tape from amazon. You can find the link here. The process was extremely easy. Just cut the tape to your desired length, peel off the backing, and lay the sticky side down on the back of your frames. Some examples....very easy. Now, here are some real life photos. My husband and I have been married 17 years, and in all of those years we have never had a new refrigerator until recently, and I adore it! The stainless steel is black and the best part is the handles! Gold! My favorite color! When we brought it home, I said that absolutely under no circumstances were we ever going to junk up the front with papers, receipts ect. Lol well I guess life happens and here it is in all its glory. Geez.... Anyways I stripped the fridge of all the unecessary paperwork and ta-da! The refrigerator has been transformed into an art gallery! Well...not quite, but the vintage artwork magnets do make it look even prettier in my opinion. I will probably be adding a few more frames when I come across them because the refrigerator that I saw on Instagram had even more magnets than mine, and it looked amazing! My son's artwork will always have a spot on my art gallery refrigerator. The painting of his that I just took down, I ended up framing and hanging it in the toy room. I'm sure that once school starts he will be bringing some more works of art home! In other news life has been so busy! So many projects over here! The kitchen is one of them, I can't wait to show you before and afters, but we are not done. You can see in the first photo that we just installed a beautiful new window but have no molding around it yet. Right now we are working a lot on the outside of our home as it is finally getting painted, so the kitchen has been neglected for right now. I also finally made myself purchase a new computer because the old one was just not working anymore and I wasn't able to blog. I am not good with technology and honestly it is taking some time to figure everything out again! I haven't picked up my camera in 6 or 7 months so even that was an adjustment. I will try to be more present on here but I am most active on my instagram especially in my stories, so definitely check me out over there too! I've missed you all! -Larissa
