Faux Stained Glass for Windows or Cabinet Doors

My Catholic husband always rolls his eyes at me when we visit a church and I “ooh” and “ahh” over the stained glass windows. I, the Protestant, did not grow up with regular exposure to these beautiful works of art and therefore usually growl at him. Anyway…they’re so pretty!

I’ve seen many DIY stained glass projects on Pinterest that are also gorgeous. Since DIY is kind of my thing, you’d think I’d give it a go, right? The only problem is that I’m accident-prone and I know myself well enough to avoid working with glass. My mother was SUPER into the idea of making stained glass at one point, and for a birthday gift we got her all the tools and supplies to make her own. Since she she got over that potential hobby about a week later and never used the stuff, I even have supplies available should I ever decide to take the plunge. But for now, I’m:

Quick and Easy Stair Makeover

I hate my parents’ stairs to their basement. The house is only 3ish years old but these stairs have scuff marks everywhere, they were clearly constructed in a rush, and of course my parents opted for cheap leftover materials to cover the treads. No two stairs are exactly the same size.

Kid Craft – Our Take on Rainbows

It’s finally Spring! Well, of course as I write this it’s back to the high 40s and rainy, but I’ll take it because it means we’re inching out of winter. In our house, two little girls are eager to get outside and enjoy their sandbox. I’m eager to get on with bigger projects that require the use of the garage! But for now, we’re shifting our daily crafts from coloring snowmen and Christmas trees to now making rainbows and flowers.

EVERYONE seems to have a craft idea about rainbows right now, so maybe my/our take on this fad will be nothing new to you. But it’s one small DIY decoration that my 3-year-old could be a part of, so if you’ve got little kids to entertain, this works great! And she loves it hanging on her wall now, so that’s a bonus – not like so many colored snowmen that are now in the garbage. PLUS, this is a great way to use up some of that fluffy fake snow that you too might have lying around from winter decorations.

DIY Hanging Office Drawer

I have more posts coming about how I redid our home office, but I just finished this last piece of the puzzle and thought I’d share it right away. Our custom office desk has a lot of open shelving and tabletop space, but there are always those office supplies you want tucked away – pens, staplers, random junk, etc. And for that, of course you want a drawer.

Painting Picture Frames with Fire and Unicorn Spit

Some projects take longer to explain than to do, so I made a video of this project to show how I did it. That’s over on my YouTube channel for those of you who want a more visual tutorial.

But for my blog, here’s a step-by-step of how I turned plain wooden picture frames into colorful and unique frames!
