I am so excited to have you here, and be the first house on the house walk!
We remodeled our kitchen, doing a lot of the work ourselves, 10 years ago, for about $12,000. Our rehab included painting our old oak cabinets, and adding a wood counter top, which has actually held up fairly well 8 years later. I decided to go with a lot of natural decor and greenery this year. I may have to replace the greenery in a week or two, it depends on how fast it dries out and gets crunchy. Next week, I’ll show you how I made the boxwood swag over the basement door. I just clipped branches from our yard. I hung a pretty mercury glass ornament wreath over it. (this post may contain affiliate links) Very recently, I realized we needed a smaller island, and found this vintage sewing cabinet on Craigslist. It’s the perfect size for our cozy kitchen. We had a chandelier problem earlier this year, and finally fixed it by moving the old lighting from our dining room into the kitchen, and getting new lighting for our dining area. That space is getting a complete makeover, I can’t wait to show you, but here’s a sneak peek picture: I love adding some holiday cheer to our counter tops, but our kitchen window is my favorite place to decorate. I love that we have a window over our sink. It makes the kitchen seem so bright, especially during the winter. I added some cedar garland, wood beaded garland, and mercury glass ornaments to bring in some greenery. I have a few permanent white hooks in place, so I can hang various things in the window through the year. I brought some little green mini-trees from the shop, and scattered some ornaments on the sill for brightness. I also added some wood bead garland to the chandelier we moved. I might leave it there past the holidays. In the living room, I also kept with a boho meets natural decor theme. I still love this rustic modern mantel I did a few years ago with the same deer. The rug has so much color, it’s nice keep everything else fairly neutral. I loved being able to paint a picture as a backdrop for the reindeer this year on the mantel. We had a mirror up there forever, and I thought it was time for a change. A few faux eucalyptus sprays, and mercury glass trees made the scene complete. Our tree has the option of white or multi-colored lights. I love the white lights, but the kids like to switch it to the multi-colored when I’m not looking. A boxwood wreath, with a few vases with seeded eucalyptus stems are a perfect, and easy centerpiece. Of course, I use my Christmas crafting/decorating book as a holiday decor item as well! Thank you so much for joining my holiday home tour 2018 as the first house on the holiday housewalk! Please make sure to stop back every day this week to see all of the gorgeous homes! And next Monday, join the linky party to be entered for a chance to be on the housewalk next year! Now, onto the next beautiful house: Need more holiday inspiration? Visit last year’s housewalk here. The post My Holiday Home Tour 2018 appeared first on Jennifer Rizzo. from https://jenniferrizzo.com/2018/11/my-holiday-home-tour-2018.html You guys know I love my steam cleaner! I use it all of the time. It was one of those things I didn’t know I needed until I had it! I recently had to steam clean a vinyl floor at work. I might had dropped an an entire container of paint on myself, and the surrounding area ( Ok, maybe two containers of paint, a few days in a row.). And then, we had a workshop where there was blue paint on the floor. So let’s just say, there was a big clean up in order. The thing about a Makery, is that there is always paint being used. Most of the time, I just get it on myself.
(This post contains affiliate links) While I am not excited that I ruined a perfectly good pair of shoes, and socks, and leggings…I am excited to share the new HomeRight SteamMachine Elite with you. With it’s triangular head attachment, and microfiber pad, it made taking the paint off the floor super easy, and much less back-breaking! I was amazed at how well it cleaned the paint up! You can see more about how I cleaned it here on the HomeRight blog, plus some of my other HomeRight projects. It quickly softened the paint, and then started to lift it right up! It was so much easier than getting on my hands and knees to scrub it. You guys, I was seriously impressed. I couldn’t believe how clean the floor ended up! I’m going to tackle the ceramic floor in our basement next. The thing I really love about the HomeRight SteamMachine Elite, is that it comes with 19 attachments, including one for regular fabric steaming! I have some gray linen drapes to try it on, so I will let you know how it works! This is a sponsored post by HomeRight. Opinions are entirely my own. This post does not substitute for the the proper operating instructions. Always read them thoroughly before using the steam cleaner. The post Steam Clean a Vinyl Floor appeared first on Jennifer Rizzo. from https://jenniferrizzo.com/2018/11/steam-clean-a-vinyl-floor.html I’m excited to share my winter wonderland, woodland fireplace mantel and tree,with a winter night painted canvas decor to share with you! But first, can you believe it’s almost December??? My annual Holiday Housewalk is almost here, and Christmas is right around the corner. The time has flown by. Of course, since I live in retailland, we’ve actually been doing the holiday thing since our first shipment came in August. At least now, I can actually put up some of my own Christmas decorating, and my neighbors won’t think the cheese has completely slid off my cracker!
I’m joining my friends from the Season’s of Home holiday series again to share our holiday decor with you. I put my woodland-themed tree up again this year, since I loved it so much last year, and I incorporated my deer from my rustic mantel a few years ago. This year, instead of the old mirror I had up there, I’ve been changing out my art, and decided to make Winter Night Painted Canvas decor this year. I loved the idea of the deer hanging out under the stars and the moon. I added some mercury glass trees from Homegoods to my mantel, and that cute tree is a live tree! It’s called a Norfolk Pine. I picked it up from the grocery store for about $24! I thought it was such a great touch of live green to my decor. I love using live greenery, like last year when I went a little Scandinavian, and put these live trees on my mantel in water. I painted the large canvas in DecoArt’s chalky finish paint, and used white paint to make the tree images, as a winter wonderland back drop for my deer. The deer are also hanging out with some faux eucalyptus, and a fun felted garland from Anthropologie I bought a few years ago. My tree is just a plain, green tree from Balsam Hill that I tuck snowy branches into. It makes it look like a flocked tree with out the expense. I’ve kept the other side of the room simple, with a few sprigs of fresh Eucalyptus,in pretty white vases.

I’ve seen metallic ombre glass on light fixtures, and other decor such as vases. I really love how the tones change when the light glows through it, and I though it would be pretty to use metallic paint to make my own metallic ombre glass globe.
Making this ombre metallic globe is an easy, and pretty project.I used DecoArt’s Metallic paints, and foam brushes to create my ombre effect. Once I had the technique down, it was really easy to paint. This would be really pretty on ornaments too… If you are looking for a few ornament projects, you can try this gold leaf ornament, or these botanical-inspired ornaments. You’ll need: Metallic multi-purpose paint in a copper/bronze tone, a dark gold metallic paint, and a silver or pewter paint. a foam brush for each color of metallic paint Start by cleaning the globe to remove any finger oils, or reside that might make it harder for the paint to stick. Once you glass is dry, paint a multi-purpose paint in a brown tone as a base. Let dry completely. Using a foam brush, lighting dab Antique Bronze paint on the base just over 1 /3 of the way up. While it’s still wet, paint a think band with your second color (gold), and then use the still wet brush from your bottom color to blend the two together where they meet. Repeat with the third color, continuing to blend the colors at the edges. You’ll get a slight orange peel texture as the paint dries, but that gives it a hammered metallic look. Let dry completely, if the paint isn’t cured, it’s more likely to scratch and chip. Adding a sealer like craft polyurethane will also minimize any scratching from use. Once the paint is completely dry, adding a battery-operated candle inside, or fairy lights creates a pretty glow. This post is sponsored by DecoArt, opinions are entirely my own. Always be careful when working with, and painting on glass. Love this project? Check out these fun and easy glitter ornaments with metallic paint. The post DIY Metallic Ombre Glass Globe appeared first on Jennifer Rizzo. from https://jenniferrizzo.com/2018/11/diy-metallic-ombre-glass-globe.html We very recently had a Christmas Tree Farm Holiday Sign Workshop at The Collective lhe in the Makery. It was so much fun, and everyone did such an amazing job with their signs! Like many of our workshops, we provide the artwork, supplies, and direction! We do the hard part, so that the attendees can do the fun part! I thought I would share a bit of the workshop with you. (this post may contain affiliate links)
I love leading/teaching creative classes, and we had such a great time in our workshop. The participants had the option of an unframed, or framed custom boards,ready to paint. We had moms and daughters come together, sisters, and even best friends that came together to create in community. After everyone laid out their artwork, they transferred it, and then they were able to get to the fun part! I was excited to see how their Christmas Tree Farm Sign Workshop was going to turn out! Even though it’s only the beginning of November, we cranked the holiday tunes and they painted away! I love how everyone starts with the same artwork, but every piece turns out so differently, but adding little custom bits . We also had the option for everyone to personalize their signs. Some people chose their last name, and other’s made it a little more informal. As well as custom artwork, we used some of the stencils from my Holiday stencil line at Royal Design Studios. There are two different tree stencils that worked perfectly with the project. Occasionally, I step in to help here and there to lend a hand, but most of the time, everyone does a great job on their own. It was a fun DIY Christmas tree farm holiday sign workshop! We have fun December workshops coming up, and some really special events for the holidays. Our next event is our big holiday open house! We are going to have bites and sips, and I’m going to be doing a book signing for my book Creatively Christmas! We are also going to be at The Three French Hens holiday market in Morris, IL. I hope you’ll join us for all of the fun and holiday cheer!
