Welcome to the very first monthly challenge in the Decorating Enthusiasts Style group. I love this group of girls. Not only do we love each others style, but we have become great blogging friends. You can find us chatting with each other daily about blogging and life. It's quite a shame that we are scattered about the US. It's just one example of how blogging has touched my life in ways otherwise unimaginable.

This month the challenge is……

Stencil Projects

Simple DIY projects to decorate your home with the monthly challenge from the Decorating Enthusiast Team!

You'll find the links to each of the projects below.

DIY stenciled essential oils storage box is a simple spruce up to unfinished storage.

I've been using essential oils for about 3 years now and have grown to love them. I thought I had a decent stash until I got this box. It was a Christmas gift. I asked for it. You can find it  (affiliate link) HERE.

I wanted one unfinished so I could DIY it!

When all was said and done she looked like this! I am very please with it and the fact that my oils are no longer tossed in a basket.

You will need the following supplies: (contain affiliate links)

  • unfinished box
  • sanding sponge
  • prestain treatment
  • stain
  • stencil
  • white chalky paint
  • stencil brush
  • spray sealer

Apply a prestain to the unfinished wood. I removed all of the hardware first. Allow that to dry. Go by directions on the product.

I brushed the stain on with a foam brush. Let sit for about 15 minutes to penetrate. Then wipe of with a clean cloth. Let dry.

Position the stencil and adhere with tape in the corners.

When you “pounce” the stencil brush, hold it vertically up and down. Not angled like in this photo. I was just trying to move my hand out of the photo so you could see the progress.

I just did 1 coat. I planned to distress it so no need to heavily coat it. I carefully remove the stencil as soon as I am finished. completely let it dry before adding another stencil pattern.

Once it is dry, you can layer another stencil.

I DID NOT use the entire stencil. I positioned a few of the sprigs off of each side of the flower and just stenciled those to it.

Once the paint is dry, lightly sand to distress the white paint. Dust off and seal with 2 coats of spray sealer. Dry and attach hardware.

Look at all that space for more oils! I seriously love my oils. I've been cleaning with them as well. Still learning lots so if you have something to share, please comment below. I do nee to add stickers to the tops to label them. Right now they are in alphabetical order.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
