{organizing with style} Tips for Proper Paint Storage, Disposal, and Recycling

We recently completed Project Paint Storage at our house, which included transferring all of our latex paint into plastic, screw-top canisters with labels, creating a customized paint deck, completing paint reference charts, compiling a kit to make organizing new paint quick and easy in the future, and finally organizing and storing all of our other painting supplies in our utility room. During the course of this project, we did a lot of research regarding ... View the Post

How to Store Leftover Paint + Free Printable Paint Labels

Saying we have a lot of leftover paint might be an understatement! When we bought our home, the builder left us a touch up kit with 2 quarts of each color of paint used throughout the house (including all the original wall colors, the trim, ceilings, and closet interior paints). Since that time we have repainted many of the rooms in the house, resulting in even more leftover paint. In the boys' bedroom alone, where we painted ombre stripes, we have five different colors of teal paint to ... View the Post

Letter Photo Display for Mother’s Day

Sometimes projects don't turn out as well as you envision them in your head, but then every once in a while a project turns out even better than you pictured it - and man is that exciting! That was the case with the wood letter photo displays I created for Mother's Day.  The best part of this project is that it can be so easily personalized, and it's also fun and easy to get the kids involved!  To create a very special gift for my boys' Nana, I let them paint the letters ...

{diy with style} 10 Reasons the Mason Jar Trend Lives On

Some may say that the mason jar trend has run its course, but the fact remains that these classic glass jars are so versatile and affordable that they'll always be the ideal candidates for a quick and stylish upcycle. I still love them because they can be made to fit any style. This month, the All Things Creative team has rounded up ten of our all-time favorite mason jar projects to remind you that whether you're looking for something simple and chic, farmhouse fab, or colorful and ...

{gifts with style} Teacher Appreciation Chalkboard Mason Jar Vases

Teacher appreciation week is just around the corner, the week of May 4–8! Today I've got a really cute and easy gift that you can make to say thank you to all the wonderful teachers in your children's lives. When I think teachers I think chalkboards {yes, I'm old school like that}, so I added chalkboard paint to the bottom half of mason jars to create adorable vases that can be filled with just about anything... from flowers to candy, or even classroom supplies. The size of the jars would ... View the Post

10 Insanely Cool Upcycle Projects

There are so many things I love about DIYing... saving money by making something myself, creating something totally unique and perfect for my home that I couldn't buy in a store, and of course, the opportunity to give a fresh new life to something that might otherwise find its way to the trash pile. Each month, I team up with the All Things Creative team to bring you a collection of creative ideas, and this month is all about upcycled DIYS. We've got some insanely cool ideas to share with ...

DIY Play Tent With Roof Made From Upcycled Neckties

Boy Mom Madness continues, and today we are talking D.I.Y. for the B.O.Y.  This is a topic I just love, and it's the perfect opportunity for me to share a tutorial that is almost a year overdue! When I designed my son Beckett's "big boy" room, I spent many weeks blogging about the DIY projects in the room {no less than 15 DIYs!}, until I feared that you must be getting sick of hearing about that room {because I was getting sick of writing about it}. I promised to return with the details of ... View the Post

How to Clean a Dishwasher

How often do you clean your dishwasher? I'll confess that I don't clean mine nearly often enough! I wash dishes in it daily, so surely it's getting clean at the same time, right? One look at my dishwasher filter proved that theory wrong. Ewww!   This week, I gave my stainless steel dishwasher a thorough cleaning, and now it's no longer the dirtiest clean spot in my house. It turns out that it's actually pretty easy to get it sparkling with minimal effort. And a clean dishwasher certainly ... View the Post

DIY Alphabet Magnets that Actually Stick to Magnetic Primer

Yesterday I told you about the magnetic chalkboard wall that we created in our kitchen, and I gave you my not-so-glowing review of magnetic primer. While magnetic primer might not be strong enough for many uses, the only use I was specifically interested was allowing my boys to play with, and learn from, alphabet magnets. As I shared yesterday, I purchased some lightweight, plastic alphabet magnets from the toy store, but the magnets were not strong enough and they fell right to the ... View the Post
