Welcome to Favorite Things Friday

 

favorite things friday

I hope you have had a wonderful week!

My picks this week are All About Paint.

Here are Over 10 Simple Beginner Paint Projects.

If you love particular projects, please visit that blog and pin from there!

There is a little for everyone here. These projects are great for the beginning painter. 

If you are new to painting why not start with a thrift store find. Jumping into painting accessories and furniture is not as intimidating if you start small. 

 

How to decorate your home with style on a budget! Give a dated $3.99 thrift store basket a chic West Elm makeover. West Elm Hack - Striped Basket Makeover.

This would be a great beginner project. This thrift store basket by Setting For Four  is a great first painting project with big impact!

 

Chalkboard Herb Pots The Everyday Home www.everydayhomeblog.com

Paint new paint cans from your home improvement store and glue ribbon along the edge for quick vase or container for herbs, kitchen utensils or art supplies. This would also be a great way to recycle coffee cans. You can find the details over at The Everyday Home.

 

Wow! This thrift store piece was turned into a stylish desktop organizer with a can of spray paint!

I picked up this piece for my home office at the thrift store. I knew the lines of this would be perfect for the farmhouse look I was going after. You can find the details of this makeover with spray paint HERE. My makeover will be on the blog very soon!

 

Make an inexpensive centerpiece by applying a weathered paint treatment to clay pots to create a striking topiary by Our Southern Home

Wanting to experiment with a new paint technique like creating this weathered pot. Start small like with an inexpensive clay pot from the craft store. You can find the tutorial from Our Southern Home (me) HERE.

 

Chalk Painted Plant Stand Table. A vintage table got a makeover with a bit of chalk paint color matched to Old White.

Maybe you own a small piece of furniture that could use a little updating. Small pieces like this are great first painting projects.  This plant stand by 2 Bees in a Pod is a perfect first project. Visit for the before and to see what a transformation that paint can make!

Also on OSH!  Sneak Peek {Fall Dining Room}

 

Coastal & Corinth Blue Milk Paint Makeover w Java Gel Top - LOVE this blue blend! - #generalfinishes #milkpaint #javagel artsychicksrule.com

Ready to jump into painting a bigger piece? This piece is painted  and then glazed. You can find many tutorials online. It can really transform a piece! Visit Artsy Chicks Rule for all the details.

 

Chalk Paint Tutorial: Bedside Table Makeover using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Emperor's Silk and Dark Wax

What a fun piece for a child's room by I should Be Mopping the Floor! Don't be afraid of chalk paint and wax. Waxing has a slight learning curve, but the key when waxing is less is more. Apply thin layers of wax. This chalk paint tutorial is a great start for the beginner. 

 

Painting baskets with chalk paint and using them in your home decor by Our Southern Home

You can even change the look of a basket with paints and glazes! You can see how I transformed this 1980s basket with paint HERE.

 

Building a gallery wall with things you love.

Paint mismatched frames to create a stunning gallery wall like this one from Confessions of a Serial Do It Yourselfer.

 

Dining Chairs #painted #waxed

Instantly update a dining set by just painting the chairs. Chairs can be a pain to paint by hand, but Refresh Restyle shares the easy way!

 

Credenzas like this can be a great yard sale find. Duke Manor Farm did a fabulous job making her husband's bachelor piece work in their home.

 

You can even transform lamps and shades with paint for a quick update like this fabulous lamp by Restoration Redoux.

 

Painted Pumpkin Craft BOO DIY Halloween Decor foxhollowcottage.com

You can even paint pumpkins! These cuties are from Fox Hollow Cottage. This is a great way to make those dollar store pumpkins work in your home! These would be an excellent and fun beginner project just in time for the upcoming fall season!

Instagram post 2196902184511570451_206981062 Taking photos of @bentleywestie usually involves trickery and bribery! Friends, I am here today to give you the tip of a lifetime! 😂 This happened when he wasn’t even the focus. It was the trees. We have chimes in the doors that ring when opened. He runs to them every time. I opened the door to step on the porch to take photos for a tour. He runs to the foyer and I tell him to stay. He’s trained. He sits there and listens to kids, the school bus going by and watching the 🐿 🐿 🐿 that drive him 🥜 He wasn’t even watching me. Of course I have to take this opportunity when I can! Door open was photo motivation!

Instagram post 2196188895443884497_206981062 Had a wonderful morning with my mom. I took her for a couple of tests then late breakfast @strossnersbakery YUMMY! It's been another chilly, dreary day. Blog work is done for tomorrow and kitchen is clean. Time to hunker down for the evening with a glass of wine and catch up on the DVR. We watch TV in the bedroom right here mosts nights unless UNC Tarheel basketball is on. Then it's me solo with my Hallmark movies. Sweet dreams 🛏

Instagram post 2195488098942930120_206981062 We are loving the evening glow of the small tree in our master bedroom. This is the first time we've ever put a tree in our bedroom. I'm not sure what took us so long. Settling in for the night on the loveseat and catching up on Ray Donovan. Sweet dreams, friends! Link in bio @oursouthernhome to tour room.

Instagram post 2192570162787751202_206981062 Last week was fabulous with my 2 Clemson Tigers home for Thanksgiving. The house is all quiet again and busy cleaning after the festivities. This hot chocolate bar was a big hit and got lots of use. I think it will stay just like this through the month and maybe all winter minus the Christmas decor of course. Loving my plaid indoors and out. You can find all the details on the blog by visiting my link in bio @oursouthernhome
