How much do you love NoelMignon kits? Enough to decorate your home with them? LOL I do!
I love a bright, whimsical, happy look in my home, and my bedroom needed a few more touches of that.
The piece you see in the picture below was just a boring ol' nightstand, but with a little yellow and white Valspar spraypaint and primer, I was able to transform it quickly. One final touch of some My Mind's Eye paper and some Mod Podge, and it turned a regular piece of furniture to a custom boutique piece!
I added wiped on bits of espresso brown acrylic paint to act as a stain on the paint... I love that aged look.
If you've ever seen one of my kit review videos, you'll see the horrible eyesore in the background... an old brown bookcase with a clumsily tacked up curtain on it to hide the stuff set on it.
I got the organizing bug a week ago and headed to Target to get a few bins and baskets and frames.
The two teal frames were a set for $3 (college product clearance!) and I customized them with papers from the Evening Stroll kit- a perfect match!
This is SUCH an easy way to give a "big mat" look to a frame. Plus, it makes it way easy to change pictures out!
I added some letter stickers from the Evening Stroll kit and a small cut out heart on top of this picture to make it even more special. :)
My hubs and I always have a big mess of library books, so these baskets with Silhouette labels worked out perfectly to contain them, and look cute to boot!
I hope this gives you some inspiration for a few easy ways to make some seasonal or permanent changes to your home! You could adapt these ideas to Christmastime decor, or to a child's bedroom... the ideas are endless. :)
