Top 10 Tuesday: Paint Sticks Aren’t Just for Paint

If you are  DIYer and are anything like me than you are always searching for deals on supplies and what is better than FREE?! I know I’m always searching for things around the house to make things out of, plus it helps me think outside of the box. Today, I’m sharing an assortment of projects that all use one thing every DIYer has, paint sticks!

So for this week on Top 10 Tuesday I’m sharing 10 Ways To Use Paint Sticks!

2. DIY Paint Stick Lamp Shade via Enjoying the Simple Things

3. Paint Stick Crate via Today’s Fabulous Finds

4. Paint Stick Door Via

5. Magnet Board from Paint Sticks via Sugar Baby Boutique

6. Beachy Picture Frame from Paint Sticks via Craftberry Bush

7. Paint Stick American Flag via Dreaming N Color

8. Mini Pallet Art from Paint Sticks via Turning a House Into A Home

9. Paint Stick Snowmen by Crafts by Amanda

10. Ornaments from Paint Sticks via Today’s Fabulous Finds

 

I think I’m going to start collecting some of these during every trip to the home improvement store!

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
