Before & After




I am always super excited to check Design Sponge " before & after" . People from all around the world share their furniture makeover .
   I always have my jaws wide open when seeing the after results !
 Honestly, furniture makeovers are much more fun , surprising and inspiring  than some girls makeover tv shows these days :P

My Vintage Journal




                         
Hand written poems are more sentimental than typing them up  , so I write my poems in this vintage style journal that I made myself :) I chose to decoupage two wooden rectangular pieces with cutout roses and lace to join the wooden pieces.

Making your own personalized journal will inspire you to start writing <3

Decoupage = Recycle

                               Olive Oil Bottle

What is Decoupage?

To me decoupage is recycling . Before you throw away that Coca Cola glass bottle , get creative and decoupage it !
