Standing mirror makeover

This is a great makeover I want to share with you today! 
I have a standing mirror for years... I was no longer happy to see it around but did not want to get rid off it, of course! It's the perfect mirror which fits in any corner or at the end of a hallway. 
As I said I couldn't stand for its look anymore and have been thinking how could I turn it into something more... "my own style". 
And so the inspiration came, probably browsing Pinterest for hours(!) and I started this new project. 

Customized coastal decor

Hi there, how are you guys doing? I hope you are great! 
This is a very simple DIY that could be used as a decor item in the house or a handmade gift for someone.

About 8 years ago I brought two starfishes in my suitcase when we were back from South Beach, FL. We actually live on one of the Spanish coast and starfishes are probably all over here too so I don't remember why was I so determined to take them back with me but I did. I have always been interested about local items wherever I go so it's probably the reason... Anyway these two starfishes have been standing in a wicker basket in my main bathroom since then so I thought they could be perfectly used as a coastal decor.

Customized headboards

Before taking any step in my guest bedroom makeover project, I had to think about new headboards. The one I used so far was an upholstered one rescued from our king size bed in our master bedroom. To fit the twin beds in it I couldn't split them so I put two nightstands on both sides and it worked that way! 
I wanted to create two headboards of my choice and customize them so I finally decided these two options: 

Headboard nº 1: from pallet planks

My kitchen rack pots

Hi there, Last September I mentionned something about some antique stuff I could get from my family place in France; you can read it here if you missed it. I remember my Mum using these saucepans when making her jam...
 

They are entirely made of copper and have their own cover. The main issue is their weight, they're a quite heavy and this is the reason why it took so long to have them hanging above the kitchen island. My first intention was to use a plank palet wood as a frame and screw hangers on it. I then changed my mind and decided to hang a reinforced curtain stick but I finally came back to the first idea and this is it! I like the result and how it looks above the island. Check out BEFORE and AFTER photos as well as the DIY process. 
 

Create a growth chart

This is a very simple DIY project I want to share with you today: a growing chart or... wall ruler made from a pallet plank.  I am about to refresh my craft room adding deco items made from reclaimed pieces so here is one! I used walnut stain for the first time and I must say I love it: mixed with water you can actually reduce the tone as much as you like; no smell, so easy to clean and more important: cheap (about 1€!). In 10cms intervals, I used short brush strokes of paint, then varnish, then paint, and so on, until completing the ruler. Check out the final result. Click here to see Pinterest board for more ideas and Hometalk graphic at the end of this post.
