I have a secret confession, Elizabeth and I share e-mails regarding cocktails....among other things. It is my pleasure to have a visit from
Hey My Crafty Home Lifers! I'm Elizabeth from
little black door and I'm thrilled to be here with you today. Those of you that know me know that I like to do as much as I can to a room without having to spend the earth. A home feels better with some character, I think, and what better way to add character than with a little ingenuity and the occasional glue gun burn. So I thought I would share some of my favorite DIY projects using as little dough as possible, or every better, things I already had on hand.
These wrapping paper panels added a great focal point to my bedroom for practically nothing.
A can of gold metallic spray paint on some dingy old lamp shades from the basement and now I can read by disco-light.
Desperation and a bottle of bleach sometimes work out for the best. These
monogramed shams were a successful experiment.
A $2 stool, picked up at the last minute, was
spruced up with some left over spray paint and fabric. Rest your cute shoes on this sucker.
I corralled all of the odd ball frames I wasn't using from around the house and made a gallery wall for zero bucks.
This table was a steal at an estate sale and with a
coat of black paint and some gold dipped feet it is ready for the living room. Now I just need to give her twin the same treatment.
Make sure to take a second look at that ugly table in your basement or the sad little lamp at the garage sale. They can often become your favorite thing in a room! Thank you to the Lovely Linda for having me!
That is why I love Elizabeth! Thanks for coming by

Great ideas. Have that gallery wall pinned on a board already!
I couldnt agree with you more!! a room without Character might as well be bare!!
Thanks for having me my dear! And speaking of drinks, I'll have to email you about a new cocktail I had over the weekend. xo
welcome over to this side of the fence! great post! I have previously commented about how much I love that gallery wall you created but I'll say it again...love! Love the mix n match of frames. And I'm stealing the gold leaf dipped legs from you for a project of my own!
Linda, I adore following Elizabeth from Little Black Door. Her DIY's are always the best! I'm immediately going through my old wrapping paper for "art" ideas. So, so clever! and the gold spray paint in the inside of shades.OMG!

What great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Where did you get the white lamp that's on your awesome dipped table? I love it! And I love all of these projects! Still wanting to do a metallic finish to the inside of a lamp shade- yours looks gorgeous!!
Hi Brooke! I got the white lamp at HomeGoods. Its a great size to move around from room to room.
Great ideas ... re-purposing for no money gives everyone a thrill!! I think the piece is even happier!!
Love them all dear!!! I just wish I have the same talent you do when creating wall pics/decor vignettes! Gorgeous!
So many great ideas! I'm always in awe of a well done gallery wall. The gallery wall is perfect--love that little space.
