How To Make An Art Print Look Like An Oil Painting

March 11, 2024

As a hardcore thrift store shopper, I've been known to purchase vintage wall art on more than one occasion. Sometimes I do it for the art and sometimes I do it for the frame.

And while prints can certainly look lovely displayed in your home, sometimes actual oil paintings can look even better. But what do you do if it's only a print -- and you want an oil painting?

DIY Floral Decoupage Bunny and Easter Coffee Table Decor

March 1, 2024

DIY Easter decor doesn't have to be expensive or difficult to make. While I've scaled back tremendously on my Easter decorating, I'd still like to have at least some evidence of the upcoming Easter holiday in my decor.

Thrifted vs. Styled #142: Copycat Ornate Plate Pedestal Riser

February 26, 2024

My periodic Thrill of the Hunt blog post series, born ten years ago, is now becoming Thrifted vs. Styled! While my Thrill of the Hunt posts are some of my favorite, and most popular, blog posts over the years, I thought it was time to make a change -- one that would be more reflective of today's thrifting culture.

The Thrifted vs. Styled posts will essentially be the same posts you've grown to know and love, just presented in a different format. So why not join me as I continue the awesome tradition of thrifting and sharing?

How To Make A Tabletop Matchstick Holder

February 19, 2024

Many, if not most of us, use candles in our homes - for ambiance and scent as well as for utility in the case of power outages. But no matter what type of candles we use, they still need to be lit somehow. So how do you light your candles?

While some might say that using an actual match to light a candle these days seems -- dare I say it? -- a little dated, I'm going to counter that with a proposition. What if you had an elegant tabletop matchstick holder that cost only pennies to make?
