Here is a very quick ans easy addition to your French Country Decor. All you need is a piece of wood, and a print, of your choice, from the printer. We stained the wood, glued on our print, and polyurethane for a nice finish, and we were all done! Now it graces the porch with the rest of the French Country greeting.
We are trying out two different looks for Valentines Day decorating to see which we like the best. These are very easy crafts that you can do with the kids, and they cost very little in time, or cash, but they still look great. Let me know what you think.

There is always time for another Easy Christmas Craft! Especially one that takes so little time to do. You will love this little Christmas Tree, and the ease of the project!
Today we are doing a very easy DIY project. I have seen these around, but why pay for one when you can make your own?!?
The making of a Primitive Candy Cane Sign for Christmas. I had seen for sale on the internet, but why not just make our own out of leftover wood, and paint we already have, so it cost us nothing but very little time! This is a very easy project taking up little time to finish. I hope you try it out for your Christmas decor, and let me know what you think!
We start with out piece of wood.
Next we base coat it with black.
We move on to painting the candy cane, and lettering.
Finally we have sanded it all, for the aged effect, and we are finished! Wasn't that easy?
Here we have 3 very easy to do Fall craft projects you can make by yourself, or with the kids. Easy enough that everyone can get involved.
Decorating for fall doesn't need to cost a lot of money, just use what you already have, and change it up a little. Using your imagination is all of the fun, and you come up with a unique look for your home!
Today we are giving the front porch a French Country Fall Makeover. We are keeping it mostly light in color with a few yellow/orange accents. As always we have added a few new craft items, which I show you how to make, and the entire makeover cost 0 dollars, with the exception of the new 2 rugs, as we have used what we have already had in the house.
Here I have a few very easy, and low, or no cost decorating ideas for Valentines Day, and even year around using a French Country decorating theme.
First we covered a couple of old cigar boxes with a few French Country wallpaper prints we found on the internet. We just saved the photos, and copied them out. Pretty easy so far...
Just put some glue on the back of the paper, and place them on the boxes where you wish. All you have to do then is wait for them to dry.
I think they turned out very nice.
Next we found some fabric, and sewed it into a heart shape, put a little whiet on it by dry brushing, and used one of our French Country stencils, in gold paint, to give it a little flare.
I had tried bleaching the fabric, but that color just didn't want to fade, hence the whitewash painting technique. That was o.k., as I got to use a stencil over that!
We also had a cherbu, so it got a coat of off white paint, and was ready to go.
All in all, it took very little time to do, and is a very nice, and different looking Valentines Day display for the home, and as always at very little, to no cost. A+
We are going to start the New Year out right, and add a little happiness to our living space!
It is done with a little creativity, and no money, so we can all do it if we want to.
I had a little free time the other day, and and needed a project to fill that time, so here we have the results of that. I hope you like these 3 things.
Our first piece was inspired by a packace I had received in the mail, and thought the box it came in had a very nice shape, and that something could be done with it...so came the other ideas.
I covered (glued) it with wrinkeled up white paper, and used my French Country stencile to decorate around it. Now I have a French Country pillar at no cost.
I placed a little metal bird upon it, and it took it's place next to a chair in the dining room. It took very little time, and it looks great!
Next I printed out a few sheets of French Country script, and covered a couple of books with it, placed them on top of a desk in the Library, put a metal birdcage on top, and it was finished. Looks very nice for a couple minutes of my time.
The last project was an old cigar box, and again I covered it in paper, and used my French Country stencil over it, let it dry, and it was ready to be placed on top of the chifferobe in the living room. All 3 of these projects took no money, or even much time to do, but bring just a little more fun to my living space, and will be able to decorate my home for some time to come. I hope you find a little inspiration from these, and the other ideas I have posted, and let me know what you think!
This is a very easy project for those of you who have furniture you no longer like, but cannot afford to replace it. It also doesn't have to be what, or how I am doing mine. You could just look up the look you like, and mimic that in paint. The rules/methods are going to be similar. Just dissect what it looks like, and transfer that look to your piece.
For my table, I started with a leftover from the previous home owners...discarded in the basement. I had cleaned it up, and used it in this bedroom, as I had other dark pieces, but I have now been changing the look of the room over this past year, and it was time for this table.
We began with a base coat of off white, and after letting that dry I painted a cream color here, and there. Top, bottom, sides, and the legs. I then followed that with strokes of black, grey, and gold to give it the appearance of being an old piece, painted over several times.
For an additional decoration I used one of my French stencils on the bottom, and gave it a coat of polyurethane to seal, and protect it, and I finished in one day! I am quite happy with how this turned out, and hope you take a little inspiration away, and begin a project of your own soo.! Let me know if you do, maybe even send along a photo of yours!
Remember to subscribe for more, another project in this very bedroom will be happening soon, and you don't want to miss it. Subscribers are notified when the new videos come out!
