DIY Home Decor and Project Ideas
Roxanne from The Honeycomb Home had been on the hunt for topiaries for her bathroom.
However, the only ones she could find would cost her $100, which was certainly too pricey for bathroom décor.
Roxanne instead decided to make her own, and it only cost her a few bucks a piece using items mostly from the dollar store!
Roxanne was inspired by the Preserved Boxwood Topiary from Ballard Designs.

My good friend Jen from Tatertots & Jello created the most adorable pallet art for Valentine’s Day.
Jen was inspired when she came across a heart plaque from Ballard Designs.
She loved that the art was perfect for Valentine’s Day yet still fit her color scheme with it’s neutral pallet.
Jen created her own striped heart on a faux pallet she built from 1x2s and then added the lyrics of a favorite Taylor Swift song with a Sharpie.
I LOVE this for Valentine’s Day (or any other day really!), and Jen says it only takes about an hour to complete minus drying time!

When updating her living room last summer, Carrie from Curb to Refurb knew a new coffee table was in order.
She says her first inclination is usually to run to the Salvation Army, but this time Carrie had a specific design in mind.
Carrie’s husband volunteered to help build a replica of the $399 table she’d been eyeing from Ballard Designs.
Although the inspiration table has a metal frame, the couple was able to get the same look with wood and a painted faux metal finish.
They loved the design so much that they also built a matching end table!
Carrie was inspired by the Durham Coffee Table from Ballard Designs.

Tamara of Provident Home Designs was inspired to include a pair of abstract sea paintings in her recent powder room makeover.
She loved the calming blue, gray, and gold color palette but didn’t have the money or space for Ballard’s ginormous $449 paintings.
Tamara walks you through the steps to making your own paintings for way less.
My fave part is how she used tissue paper to create texture on her canvas and incorporate pops of gold. Simply beautiful!
Tamara was inspired by the Cote De La Mar Paintings sold by Ballard Designs.

One thing I have to add here is the wall paint color you can use behind your serene paintings. One of my favorite cool toned colors is the Ancient Marble light green color from Sherwin Williams.
Create abstract paintings with that zen feel and a nod to nature’s peaceful side, then place on a bathroom wall with this paint color.
You’ll be half way there to creating the perfect spa retreat in your own home!
