HOT COCOA BAR DECOR




My trip to Home Goods was well worth it! I found a lot of great items. I’m not sure if people in NJ are avid Rae Dunn collectors because there was an entire end cap stocked with it. I also found pieces throughout the aisles.

I picked up the STIR spoon rest and SUGAR bowl with lid. I like to mix and match my decor pieces so I picked up this black with white polka dot creamer pitcher. Kitchen towels added some texture and pattern. This is a neutral decor theme but you could easily add color. I made this marshmallow garland from nylon rope and these white foam pieces on wire. Tying some fabric on the mugs added extra cuteness! Get creative with things around the house. Shop for inexpensive accessories that can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary!

You will see in my video how it all came together.
Hope you enjoy it!

FRENCH COUNTRY HUTCH DIY

 This traditional style hutch was here when we bought our house. It originally had a mirrored back.  At first, this didn’t bother me too much until Pinterest happened. It seemed like everyone was chalk painting their hutches. I didn’t want to change the whole look, but I did want to get rid of the dated mirrored back. So what do you think I did? Chalkboard paint baby!  This small investment in an $11.00 paint was worth a shot. It was scary at the first coat of paint because it looked like it wasn’t going to work. I decided to press on. Guess what? It worked! I will take at least 3 coats of paint.  The next step was to take the glass out of the doors so I could view the decorations better.  Here are a few close up photos of my decor.

WINTER FARMHOUSE KITCHEN DECOR

Christmas has come and gone. Now is the time to change up the decor. I thought I would start with my recent purchases from Hobby Lobby. I changed the theme from Christmas Lodge to a baking theme. I brought in my large farmhouse sign over the window to start.  I hung a rolling pin, cutting board and old sifter on my handmade wall rack. Behind it lays a rag garland. Added some green branches with pine cones in the mason jars. Above that is my fresh baked cookies sign. My rustic ladder at the end of the wall with some baskets and such. I finally got a tiered tray that has a s’mores theme to it. Jars filled with chocolate chips, Golden Grahams and mini marshmallows. Two garland wreaths and handmade marshmallows on sticks. A tablecloth and ruffled runner to complete this look. This should get me through the winter season until I add some Valentine’s Day decor in February.   Please visit my Instagram page for more inspiration     instagram.com/dinamichel...

DIY DISTRESSED KITCHEN DOORS

I have a white bi-fold  door in my kitchen that is screaming for a change! I wanted to do something different but  I wasn’t sure exactly what? I had some black chalkboard paint on hand so that will do. When I begin a project I never really plan it out, and sometimes it works out.  I just begin with a foam sponge and start in the corners then back through each slat. After this was done, I started to sand in spots to give it a distressed look. Now it looks okay but not really the worn look I was hoping for. I had some light grey acrylic craft paint. I started to go over each slat again. This gave it a softer color. I went back and sanded in random spots.  Sometimes just painting a door can be the key to creating something dramatic.
