I have a slight obsession with mercury glass and I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my new kitchen island lighting. I started browsing online, only to find super expensive options.
Similar here here ($99 each) and here (over $218 each)!! I was determined to make this work, so I headed to none other than, Homegoods! I was ecstatic when I found these pretty mercury glass candle holders and snatched up three of them. The plan was for my hubby to use a glass cutter to create a hole for it to fit on the new lighting. Well, you won’t believe what happend next… We started unscrewing the bottom of the candle holder to find a hole already there, and it fit the light fixture like a glove! Score!! Like major score. I may, or may not, have been doing the happy dance in my kitchen! Within minutes I had a gorgeous new mercury glass light fixture!!
The best part about it was the cost! Each candle holder was $9.99 and the trio mount was on sale at Lowes for about $47, which brings the total cost to $76.97!
I think it’s the perfect addition to our kitchen space and I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out!

If you’ve been following along with my blog for awhile, you have probably seen a couple of these type of signs before! I just love making them because they’re so simple, affordable and cute! You will use at total of 12 shims for this project. Begin by laying two horizontally and start gluing the shims one by one until completed. I broke of the ends of a few of mine just to add some character! I painted the shims a beautiful, warm color: Valspar Coral Gable Biltmore Mediterranean Carmel. I gave it a good two coats and let dry completely.

I might be obsessed with updating my wreaths and flags, so what?! While at Hobby Lobby I purchased an adorable 9 foot roll of faded black chevron burlap, which just happened to be 50% off!!
Once I was home, before cutting the burlap I gathered a long length and created a bow with long ends. I fish-tailed the ends to hang loose on the wreath and attached it with a small piece floral wire.
I used the same technique as my last garden flag, you can view that here! This time I used regular burlap, and stenciled on the words “Welcome To Our Home” in black craft paint. While that was drying I created a nice full bow and, again, fishtailed the ends. I secured it to the burlap using a generous amount of hot glue from my glue gun. I also sewed the tops of the bow into place since this is a heavy material, I didn’t want it to sag forward.
I love the combination the faded black chevron along with the burlap! It dresses up the front walkway and door perfectly 🙂 I can’t wait to make a flag for Fall!!

Have you ever thought about making your own dishwasher tablets? If so, I encourage you to! I made my own for the first time the other day and they’re awesome! Previously, I would use Cascade liquid gels which run about $12 for 60. For all the ingredients needed for homemade tablets, it cost me around $10 for 300.
Here’s what you’re going to need:
