Pottery Barn Knockoff–Distressed Clock Decor

Image
Ahhhhhh Pottery Barn.  The gorgeous pictures, the higher price tags.  If only we could re-create for less everything we see in that magazine.  Well today’s post will give that a try  – Pottery Barn for under $10.00.  (If you choose to purchase some of the highlighted supplies, I may make a small commission at no extra cost to you🙂)  Pottery Barn decoritive large clock. When I was at the thrift store I spotted this lonely round board.  It was almost 2 feet around, insanely heavy and covered in laminate but I thought hummmm……this has some CLOCK potential!  So I bought it for a whopping $1.50. (Don't worry, Amazon has lots of thick round boards you could purchase for not a lot of money.  Here's a great pack of 2 circle mdf boards , make one for you and one for a friend!)   Here is the lovely BEFORE picture: And here is the AFTER: ( I do have a link below for a full post on how to decorate the top of your cabinets !)

Shop a new "vintage" desk or paint an old vintage desk?!  Do you guys like entering giveaways?  I'll enter a few because wouldn’t it be fun to win?? I finally did win something lol. They gave me some Anne Sloan chalk paint.  I had an old antique desk that I had bought for $20.00 at a thrift store. (Somehow I deleted my before picture!

Want to know why????? There is NO need for SANDING OR PRIMING your furniture piece before you start!!! Yep you heard me right – you get to completely skip those LONG tedious steps!  I always felt so scared of painting furniture because I always thought ...

Top 5 Tips on How to Make Your Home Look like a Magazine

Image
Have you ever walked into someone's home and thought WOW, everything just looks so put together, how did they accomplish that?  I'm Selina, an interior design with a passion for helping everyone make their home look like their dream magazine cut out. I just finished my own home facelift .  After 15 years of having a bit darker Traditional Tuscan style, I went to Mid-century vibe furniture with Modern Coastal accents. It is a design  style that blends sleek, clean lines with a  breezy feel. It prioritizes open spaces, natural light, and organic textures while skipping obvious "beachy" decorations like anchors or seashells. It creates a calm, relaxed, and elegant environment.  So much of my blog is creating MOOD BOARDS of different design trends so feel free to click over to my Modern Coastal Board if you like the after picture.  Like always, these are my affiliate links and if you do purchase I may make a small commission with no extra cost to you....
