DIY Handpainted Tile Backsplash
I custom hand-painted and installed my own tile backsplash for the One Room Challenge this year, and here is exactly how I did it!
This was, shockingly, the easiest and smoothest DIY I took on for the pantry project. I hand-painted all the tiles Tuesday night, baked them Wednesday morning, and installed them Wednesday night (this project had to be done by Thursday morning, so I was definitely cutting it close, but I got it done!) I followed @athomewithashley’s tutorial for painted tiles, and it worked perfectly!

I have gotten so many questions about how I completed it, so I wanted to share a full post with allll the details, and what I learned.

DIY Vintage Christmas Village Makeover
My favorite DIYs are those that give new life to outdated decorations and vintage pieces. I have had this outdated Christmas village sitting in my garage for years and always have wanted to figure out a way to include it in my Christmas decor as I love the tradition and idea of village sets. This year, while searching for some Christmas decor ideas for the playroom, I had the idea to paint the set in bright colors to match the room. This was so easy and fun and such a great way to update and reuse these old sets. Whether you go with bright and bold colors or just paint it solid white, there’s so many fun ways to update the classic pieces. Check out the before photos and instructions below!
