Table and Chairs Makeover with Chalk-Style Paint

This post for my Chalk-Style Paint Table and Chairs Makeover 

is brought to you by Plaid Crafts. 

I was supplied all paint, waxes, brushes, and loads of inspiration for this project.

I've been wanting to make over my kitchen table for eons, y'all. I finally just bit the bullet and I couldn't be any happier. I went all Monica Gellar style and painted my chairs in several colors and the table in another. See how it all came together below.

Whhhhhhy did I wait so long to tackle this project, y'all? It has completely changed this space and made me fall in love with my beat up 14+ year old table all over again. And with Waverly's chalk-style paint, there was minimal prep. That's probably my favorite part. Check out the makeover process below.

Inspiration Monday

Welcome to the party, y'all! Hard to believe it's April...just rolling right into spring like a steam engine, right? And all of that SPRING is certainly evident in all of the parties lately! There is just so much spring inspiration abounding!

Today's features have been selected by Christy from Our Southern Home.

Christy has put together some beautiful Easter Ideas for the Home...

perfect since Easter is just two weeks away. Check all of these out below!

Carrot Tag Easter Printouts: Free

This post for Carrot Tag Easter Printouts (free) contains affiliate links. I make a small portion when these links are used, at no additional cost to you.

These carrot-shaped free Easter printouts are perfect to attach to baskets or gifts this spring season. They're colorful and cheerful...and a whole lot sweeter than an actual carrot (wink). Their bright green and orange give your basket a fun, pop of spring color. Grab these, along with a few of my reader-favorite other Easter printouts (free) below. 

We love to tell the story of how the bunny "accidentally switched" up our kids' Easter baskets one year. Each child was slightly puzzled by the contents...since they would've better suited that kid's sibling. But, middle-of-the-night basket filling can do that to a tired bunny. Had the baskets had some fun labels, our problems would've been solved. 

If your Easter bunny needs a little help labeling the baskets he leaves for the littles, these cute Carrot Tag Easter Printouts (free!) are the perfect solution. They also work great as gift tags on presents (as in...non-basket form). And they'd be adorable strung together in a banner. Just a simple little printable that packs a big punch. Download your free Carrot Tag Easter Printouts below.

Check out below how to make a pom pom garland.

Inspiration Monday

Happy Sunday/Monday, y'all! It's super spring-y and beautiful here in central Texas today. We're hoping to squeeze in some bluebonnet photos on this gorgeous day while all the flowers are at their prettiest! Hoping it's a great day where ever you are! 

Our features today are reflecting the new season...loads of springtime inspiration! 

This weeks features were selected by Laura from Inspiration for Moms.

7 Free Easter Facebook Cover Photos

These free Easter Facebook Cover Photos are a lovely way to update your profile this season. There are seven different designs to choose from. Some are playful in nature, others reference resurrection scriptures. But, all of these Easter Facebook Cover Photos are designed to make your heart happy this season.

Each of the free Easter Facebook Timelines are sized and ready to go. You can switch your design out the entire season. Most of these have a watercolor or floral motif (or both!)...and one is strictly typography. Grab your favorite design below. 

Weathered Sign Tutorial

This simple weathered sign tutorial is perfect for any season or saying. 

I created this one for Easter, with one of my favorite verses.

I will say, this tutorial is just an example of this technique. I love the way the paint turned out, but I honestly wish I had used a different font...this one seems just slightly on the trite side for a scripture of this magnitude. I was going for more of a handwritten look, but this feels like one wrung up the ladder from Comic Sans, y'all. But, I am happy with the technique and how well it aged this particular sign. I wanted it to look worn from the outside in and this seemed to have achieved this particular look.

Ombre Tassel Garland

This post for an Ombre Tassel Garland contains affiliate links. I make a small portion when these links are used, at no additional cost to you.

I love tassels. And I love garlands. Why not marry them in a fun ombre pattern, right? This little tassel garland craft was really easy and I am pretty much in love with how it turned out. I have draped a few of these all over the house, y'all! See how easy it is to make your own ombre tassel garland, below. 

I'm *slightly* obsessed with yarn crafts lately. I actually grew up with yarn crafts and they always hold a special spot in my heart (my great aunt had me making those plastic canvas tissue box covers by the truckload at an early age). This ombre tassel garland is my new obsession...I can't quit making them! Check out the complete tutorial below.

How to Make Tassels

This post covering how to make tassels contains affiliate links.  I make a small portion when these links are used, at no extra cost to you.

I just love a good tassel, y'all. If you've ever wondered how to make tassels yourself, I've got the easiest method for you below. I think chunky yarn tassels are the cutest and doing it yourself means you can customize to your heart's desire. Check out this tutorial for how to make tassels below.

If you're reading this, there's a chance you may have made a tassel with a cardboard template. The cardboard templates are good for about one or two uses, then they bend and have to be replaced. Sometimes cutting cardboard pieces for endless tassel-making can get old (because, I'm all about endless tassel-making, y'all). Check out how easy this fun method for how to make tassels is below.

Inspiration Monday

Springing forward is my least favorite thing (who wants to lose an hour of sleep, y'all?). I'm always grumpy the Sunday morning of this "springing" business.  Thankfully, I can at least enjoy the afternoon with all sorts of INSPIRATION from the par-tay!

 And we've got some GORGEOUS farmhouse inspiration features for you today!

This week's features were picked by Debbie from Refresh Restyle.

Check them all out below.

My Redeemer Lives Free Printable

This My Redeemer Lives free printable is a colorful watercolor piece to integrate into your Easter decor. And watercolor arrows are my new favorite thing, ever. This print is an 8x10 that prints onto a letter-sized page, for your convenience.

Job 19:25 is one of my faves..."But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last." I love the hymn that was created surrounding this verse, too. I truly love singing it year round, but it holds a special place in my heart during the Easter season. Grab this free printable highlighting this verse/hymn below.

Upcycled Easter Door Decor

This Upcycled Easter Door Decor is one of the easiest thangs I've ever put together, y'all.

It's also a part of the Thrifty Style Team series this month.

Every month, I'm fully aware that my monthly Thrifty Style Team series is coming...and *usually* I get behind and have to scramble to create something for the series (honestly, I do my best creating when I'm rushed, but it's still nice to actually be prepared every now and then). This month, I actually got it together. I grabbed the outer part of this wreath at a thrift store well before Valentine's day...and knew exactly what to use it for (don't you love it when that happens?). So, believe it or not...I was actually prepared this month! I have to say, this is probably the simplest tutorial I've ever done...it's like one step, y'all. Check it out below...along with lots of fun projects from my bloggy friends.

Easter Tablescape on a Budget

#99YourEaster #DoingThe99 #CollectiveBias

Ahhh...spring is definitely in the air! My house is about ready to welcome it with open arms...and my table is totally ready for Easter brunch, as well. I put together this Easter Tablescape on a Budget with loads of goodies from the 99 Cents Only store. I've also included the free printable bunny placecards for you to use, too.

I truly love Easter...a time of complete renewal. We love celebrating Easter with friends and family over a traditional brunch. Ham, biscuits, and a festive Easter tablescape are all a part of my springtime love language. But why break the budget, y'all? This Easter table keeps things in check while still bringing out the cuteness. You don't have to spend a fortune to go all out on your seasonal decor. Check out all of the details of this year's tablescape below.

Ahhh, spring is definitely in the air these days (or is that ragweed?)! Whichever...the seasons are definitely changing. I created this fun and whimsical Free Printable Watercolor Spring Banner to kick off the season. AND, it's got a neat little feature...it's dimensional! The letters can be layered onto the banner with mounting squares to give it some extra POP! I've created a flat one, too, if you'd prefer that method.
