DIY

I am addicted to Pinterest. No matter what, I always stumble across something that awesome! From at home décor ideas to DIY projects, my list of things that I want to accomplish is insane!

I don’t know if anyone else does this, but I have started to go through my Pinterest Boards and clean house. I scroll through the things that were pinned and decide if it is actually something that I will make the time to do.

Yesterday was one of those days that I felt like trying something on my boards. One project involves fixing scratches on wood furniture. Since our move we have banged up several of our wood furniture pieces. The recipe for the fix is ¼ vinegar and ¾ olive oil. You simply mix the two ingredients and dip a rag in and wipe the surface. It works miraculously! You cannot even see the scratches and marks that were prominent before.

One of the projects I want to do next is for pillows. When we got our couch delivered it came with 4 hideous pillows that NEED to be revamped. I will be taking old love letters from back in our “dating days” and print them on fabric transfer paper. Then I will iron them onto plain pillow covers to put on the ugly pillows.

I love doing things to enhance and decorate our apartment. It was so cute last night, Josh asked what I was going to do today, so I told him Hobby Lobby was having a sale on pillow covers so I wanted to take advantage of it. He started to have an opinion on the color and style, but he stopped and said that he trusted my judgement and didn’t really care. It’s so nice to be given creative freedom!

Check out the pillows before and after’s up to this point (before is the nasty brown pattern and after the awesome blue that compliments our coffee table):

UPDATE! I finished the pillows!
