Chalk Painted Caddy Makeover

I loved this cute little caddy, but I wasn’t in love with the color it was when I found it. I knew I could fully love it after a paint makeover though…And now I do, I do!

I’ve used and styled it in a few different ways to store, and display.

It was perfect for these snack & dessert plates...

And some dish towels...

And I also tucked in a couple small faux plants...

I’m sure I’ll find many other ways to use it!

Below is an image of it before and just as I had started painting it.

And after...

So much better!

I always encourage others to use paint! Don’t be afraid, it’s so simple. It’s such an easy and inexpensive way to transform an item! If you don’t like the color paint it!

Magnolia Blooms and Vase

 

“April showers brings May flowers”

...And so does Michaels!

~ I ordered these lovely magnolia blooms from Michaels and they are so beautiful! I’ve added them to some willow branches in this pretty embossed metal 20inch vase I got from Amazon and I’m loving the beauty they add to our foyer area!

My Magnolia Journal

It’s been a wet and cloudy afternoon. It feels like fall and I just want to get cozy, and I’ve needed extra cups of ambition today!!!

Now I’m calling it a day and simply enjoying this latest issue of Magnolia Journal...

I’ve loved each issue I’ve received in my subscription. (A lovely gift from a friend! ) It’s filled with lots of ideas and inspiration, stories from the heart, beautiful images, delicious recipes and so much more.

I highly recommend it!

And who doesn’t love all things Magnolia, along with Chip and Joanna Gaines?! I know I do all the more after reading each Magnolia Journal!

I hope you’ll pick up a copy {or try a subscription} and enjoy it as much as I do!
