Pin-spiration Monday #15: Mod Podge


While on my Pinterest boards, I started to notice that some of my boards are over flowing with many different project ideas. I have decided to start doing some organizing. One of the things I am doing  is group them more specific by project ideas, technique, or the type of material. For example, I have a board that is all Mason Jars & More, a board that is just Washi Tape,  a board that is Fabric, and so on.  It helps me stay organized with my blogging and my creative endeavor.

It is not 100% finished, but it is still good.

So for this week for Pin-spiration Monday, we are going to focus on the ever so popular Mod Podge! I love Mod Podge and the things you can do with it.

And yes, I have a board for Mod Podge called Mod Podge & Decoupage

Handmade Mod Podge Checkerboard

I love this cute checkerboard! It is a great way to upcycle items that normally get thrown away. The creator of this uses items such as a small, shallow wooden box that used to hold toys, bottle caps, and scrapbook paper. Yes of course Mod Podge!

Oh how I love these! I am going to make a set of these for camping. These will look so cute hanging up around the camper and the site. Please make note in the directions that it is best to use LED lights, so that it does not melt the plastic. I would not use the ordinary lights. Also, you many need to push the translate button at the top of the site since it is written in another language.

Decoupaging with Lace

Here is another very cute idea! Using lace and Mod Podge to decoupage glass containers or bowls. It gives it nice texture. I love the look of it. This is something that I am going to have to try. It is garage sale season here in Michigan. I am sure I can find some glass bowls and lace. Or I could go to Ikea!

Bonus!

Pinterest Monday #7: Ikea Hacks

I am in love with Ikea! They have awesome furniture for small spaces. Most of my stuff is from Ikea and is in need of some upgrades. When I say upgrades, I mean doing something to what I already have, but I could use a trip to Ikea...Wink, Wink. They have some really nice show rooms that is inspirational. I could easily be one of those people you see on the commercial for Ikea where they make themselves at home in the show room. Yes, that could be me...LOL!


Pinterest Monday will be focused on Ikea Hacks. There are really some awesome ideas out there and I can not wait to use them on mine.

Ikea Stenciled Billy Bookcase

This is a great idea to get rid of plain white, just spice it up with stencil. Looks amazing.


Crown Moulding Billy Bookcase

Not only did she do stenciling to the Ikea Billy bookcases, she added the crown moulding to them. The moulding give it a classic look. 


RAST Nightstand

This nightstand takes on a new look from what it is when you get it from Ikea. I love it. I just might do this!


File Drawers

Would you believe these boxes is actually an Ikea hack? It is really not antique at all. They are boxes for organizing that had a modern look to them, but then was turned into something classic. Who would have thought of this stuff?


Mudroom Storage

This is an awesome Ikea hack. Would you believe this is made from two Hemmnes TV consoles? I could not believe it either until I read this post.


More Ikea Hacks

Here is a bonus. This has more Ikea hacks than you could ever imagine.

Pinterest Monday #6: Studio Space Ideas

I am in the process of re-organizing my studio or workspace. It is just not working for me. I need something that is clean, organized, and most importantly functional. Right now it has turned into the catch all room for the kitchen, office, storage room and workspace. So as you can imagine, it is not pretty.


Pinterest Monday will be focused on Studio Space Ideas. There are really some awesome ideas out there and I can not wait to make mine. Some of this I will have to wait until we finally move to a place that I know will be long term. Until then I can make stuff that will go with us.

Cute Place To Make Things

I am in love with this Studio Space. It is welcoming and it creates a place for everyone in the family. I like how she turned the living room into the work space. Who needs a formal living room when you have a family room?

Cabinets To Store The Supplies

Photo Source: Created From Paper
These beauties I know came from Ikea because those cabinets are on my wish list. Originally this was my dining room idea, but now I am thinking it would be perfect for the studio. I am long over due and having Ikea withdrawals. Need to go to Ikea to get my fix!

Work Table In Style

This studio space has a lot of different ideas for re-using furniture by painting them. The corner desk looks really easy to build. She even gives you the link where the plans came from. My favorite is the work table. I love everything about it from the color to its storage.

Small Space Big Ideas

This work space uses the closet to maximize the use of the space. I like the idea of having a U shaped work surface. This way you have plenty of room to work and not far to go to reach for what you need.

Neat Space

This would be an awesome studio space! It has natural light, plenty of storage, and plenty of room for a sitting area. I love the idea of  having the clutter not showing and it being organized neatly in the cabinets.
