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!

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
