This is a super simple project that can be tailored to your unique decorative style and can be created to match your color scheme.  Transform a plain Jane shade into a stylish, colorful one with tissue paper, scissors, Mod Podge, and a marker.  Easy, inexpensive, with a big bang of charm and color, this is a great project to do with little ones who can help with cutting the paper.

When you come across a great piece that is solid and sturdy but needs a vibrant new look, consider this suggestion.  Turn to silver and gold spray paints—and matching paint pens—for a truly one-of-a-kind transformation. 

While it is always exciting to totally transform a piece’s look with new colors, often the best choice is to enhance what is already there—a black finish—and take it to a new level by adding vibrant gold. 

During the winter doldrums, sometimes we feel a little down due to the cold weather and short daylight hours.  One way to shift your blue mood is to tackle your next DIY project using bright white. 

Still scratching your head about what to get your sweetie (or yourself) for Valentine’s Day? This idea will certainly show your love to others, yourself, and Mother Earth.
