June 19, 2017 By RumensDiamond Leave a Comment

There are quite a handful of interior décor accents that redefine a home but we find DIY and mosaic craft projects quite peculiar, to say the least. Whether it’s a simple mosaic craft that takes a few hours or days to put together or the more complex kind which often spans weeks or months, DIY mosaic craft projects are always a beauty to behold.

Although it often seems like so much artistry and skill goes into crafting a DIY mosaic project, it is in actuality really not so difficult if you follow in the steps of someone who has done it before.

That being said, this article showcases 15 Easy but Stunning DIY Mosaic Craft Projects for your Home Décor.

Let’s get right to it!

Mosaic Address Marker

An impressive home décor begins with your entrance.

Instead of having the same address marker pattern like everyone else on the block, a mosaic address marker could be the unique identifier that distinguishes your home from the rest and the best part is this DIY mosaic craft is quite easy to put together. There are tons of tutorials on the internet to help you infuse this whimsical decor accent into your home.

Mosaic Tile Outdoor Table

Right after your entrance, your front porch is another avenue for you to make a décor statement. A mosaic tile outdoor table not only tells of your creativity but also infuses a little more elegance into your home décor.

And if you find the concept of spending time to arrange small bits a little too much, then you might opt for the next DIY mosaic craft.

Mosaic Tile Table

For DIY enthusiasts who want to make a décor statement with their Mosaic craft table but have very little time to dedicate to the project, this could be an easier option. Instead of setting up your mosaic tile table piece by piece as in the outdoor tile table DIY mosaic craft project, you could use larger patterned tiles and a suitable adhesive to redesign a simple table.

Mosaic Key Storage

Most people have their key storage rack right beside the front door of their homes for easy access – and along with the light switch by the door; the key storage is one of the most noticeable elements within a home. Yet finding a key storage rack that makes a décor statement is similar to searching for a needle in a haystack… it’s there but you just might not find it!

However, a DIY mosaic project on your key storage not only redefines an erstwhile monotonous key rack but also makes for a beautiful piece of wall art. So why wait to find someone with a mosaic key storage when you can make one!

Mosaic Light Switch Plate

Except your lights come on automatically when your door opens, the light switch is the first tool you use right after you open the door. Like the key storage, there aren’t very many flamboyant or attention grabbing light switch plates as most of the focus is given to the chandelier, bulbs, and whatnot.

Decorating an otherwise uninteresting light switch plate with mosaic can infuse that extra touch of class into your home – and the best part is there are easy DIY tutorials to help you get started.

Mosaic Flower Mirror Frame

Looking for something that really calls for attention within your home’s interior décor? Then this mirror might just be what you need. It’s only natural that a mirror grabs our attention, often times bringing us to a momentary halt as we fix the hair, touch the eyebrow or anything else we fancy about our looks. A mosaic mirror does more than encouraging your or your visitors’ narcissism – this attractive mirror frame is sure to become the focal point of your entire interior décor and the best part is this brilliant DIY mosaic craft project is easy to put together yet leaves a lasting impression on your interior décor.

Mosaic Mirror Frame

Find the flower pattern frame a little too fancy? Try this simple yet elegant alternative DIY Mosaic craft project that repurposed old CD discs to produce a shiny mirror frame.

Mosaic Round Table

Roundtable discussions just got a lot more interesting with this round table mosaic craft project. Carve your desired pattern and choose your preferred choice of colored glass tiles to fill this pattern and create a stunning mosaic table top that can sit comfortably in your living room.

Sea Glass Mosaic Tray

And while you’re having that all important roundtable discussion, you might want a sea glass mosaic tray to hold your glasses. Sea glass is created when garbage dumped by the coastline of beaches for several years gets refined by sea waves. Hence sea glass is a product of nature and man.

This DIY mosaic craft project is as easy as it gets… find the sea glass…place them on your tray using some adhesive and you have your very own Sea Glass Mosaic Tray. If you need guidance, the internet offers a lot of resources that could come in handy for DIY mosaic crafts like this.

Decorative Mosaic Tray

Because sea glass is not a luxury found on just any shore, this equally beautiful alternative would suffice if you are looking to create a gorgeous vignette tray with mosaic detail.

Mosaic Vase

This mosaic craft project repurposes a simple glass vase into a more attractive décor accessory. Simply slap some adhesive on the glass vase and then stick some broken tiles on it to create any design of your choice. Just have a go at it!

Rock Vase

The best DIY projects are the ones where you spend very little to zero resources but still manage to produce a masterpiece – and this rock vase is one of them. This mosaic craft project makes use of pebbles, empty Pringles tube and some adhesive. For a more stunning look, try painting the pebbles a variety of colors!

Mosaic Flower Pot

Without a crack or paint, just about every one of these flower pot looks the same – the same old tan brown finish with very little to be excited about. Making this your mosaic craft project this week would leave you with a more attractive flower pot and as with most of our DIY mosaic crafts in this article, all you need is some adhesive and broken ceramic.

Mosaic birdhouses

Even your bird deserves a home makeover… at least to make other birds a tad jealous of their home. This DIY mosaic craft not only adds one more beautiful project to your DIY portfolio but it also beautifies your furry flying friends’ home.

15 Awesome DIY rugs for your home in 2017

May 27, 2017 By RumensDiamond Leave a Comment

Rugs have the ability to not only impact and redefine the décor of a home but they are also able to make a standalone fashion statement. The presence of a rug within your home’s interior décor could be the Midas touch that sets your home apart, adds some texture or color to a rather dull area or in some cases serve as an earmarked area for an activity within the home. Whatever our reasons, we can all agree that every home could use a good rug.

Buying a beautiful rug from the store is as easy as it can be quite expensive as well; thus leaving home owners little to no choice but to settle for a design that they don’t really like just because it is within budget. Why settle for less when the best things in life are actually free?

Instead of spending too much for your definition of a perfect rug or settling for a more affordable low-quality rug, it might be time to get involved with some easy do it yourself crafts (DIY) and make your own rug.

Hardly anyone has regretted taking on DIY projects and we are pretty sure trying out any idea on our list of 15 awesome DIY rugs for your home in 2017 is not one you would regret!

Ready to get creative?

Zebra Print Rug

Are Zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

Whichever one they are, it is quite difficult to find anyone who doesn’t adore the natural beauty of the Zebra’s hide. However, hunting a Zebra just to slap its hide on the floor of your living room is nothing short of barbaric, if you ask us.

So how do you get a Zebra print? Simple!

Paint yourself a Zebra hide on a canvas drop cloth and voila, Zebra print is in. Did we mention that these DIY projects are all easy do it yourself crafts? Well, now you know just how easy redefining your décor can be.

Cork Bath Mat

tutorial: wcraftynest

Tossing all your wine corks in the trash? You might want to consider holding on to some of them starting now. This amazing DIY project puts your wine corks to good use, forming what is a rather impressive bath mat. Wooden accessories are getting more recognition in 2017 so a cork bath mat is just right on time.

Hey, whoever said that sweet wine was the only thing that could come out of a wine bottle!

Do it yourself Rug

tutorial: sarahmdorseydesigns

Ever had a clear cut idea of what you want in a design, only to find out the manufacturers aren’t thinking what you are thinking?

Why settle for a rug design you would get sick of in a jiffy when you can paint your own rug all by yourself. Just get a basic rug, design your preferred stencil and slap on any high-quality fabric paint of your choice to paint your dream rug into reality.

This easy do it yourself craft will save you a lot of disappointment.

T-Shirt Rug

tutorial: mypoppet

Got a bunch of old t-shirts you don’t use anymore? Well, instead of going the old way of just getting rid of them, try something new and repurpose them into a yarn and braid t-shirt rug.

And the best part is, this easy do it yourself project not only unifies unused t-shirts, it could also unify your household in a common goal to complete what would most certainly turn out to be a family DIY project.

Shabby Chic Rug

tutorial: nelliebellie

So we clearly have a thing for shabby chic designs and our article on 21 outdoor lighting ideas for a shabby chic garden reinforces our stance on the subject. This time, however, we are going berserk about this DIY shabby chic rug. This easy do it yourself craft is not only inexpensive; it also delivers a rustic/bohemian accent to your interior décor.

This DIY project needs just small rag rugs sewn together with upholstery thread to resemble a quilt. The end product is rustic yet elegant shabby chic rug.

For the Love of Crochet

tutorial: crafts.tutsplus

This DIY project is for crochet lovers and enthusiasts. Choose any yarn and color of your choice and strut your skill till you get the most suiting design for you. Keep in mind that while this fits into our definition of easy do it yourself crafts, it does take some time to achieve a rug size crochet.

Light up the Crochet

tutorial: bautawitch

Now, while your crochet rug adds a beautifying accent to your home’s interior décor, let us not kid ourselves – all new things grow old with time and the older they get, the more they seem bland.

Add some fun and life to your crochet rug with a string of LED lights. Be sure to get lights that don’t get too hot and catch fire in the process.

Maze Rugs

tutorial: makezine

Maze rugs or Labyrinth rugs are pretty cool… scratch that, they’re super cool. What’s not cool, however, is how much they are worth. These things could drill a hole in your pocket if you are looking to get some high-quality maze rug into your décor. But this wouldn’t be an article on DIY projects if we didn’t show you how to turn this uphill task into an easy do it yourself craft.

With a simple pair of electric clippers, creativity and very little time spent, a regular rug could be made into a less expensive yet equally attractive maze rug.

Pixel Rugs

tutorial: craftster

Fancy pixels much?

Well, why not let everyone know by making your own pixel rug. All it takes to execute this DIY project is crochet skills, time and dedication.

Simply crochet a granny square for every pixel and sew them together for any pixel image or shape you want.

Grass Rug

tutorial: finecraftguild

Add a touch of nature to your interior décor.

As the world continues to advance, most homeowners are quick to opt for ultra modern and sophisticated designs or elements. Infusing some nature into your home is sure to set your home apart from the rest – in a good way!

Beautiful Table Cloth, Better Rug

tutorial: dreambookdesign

Chances are that you have purchased a product in the past to serve a designated purpose then you suddenly come to the realization that that product suits another function better.

This beautiful table cloth makes a better rug when you turn it to a rug using a rug pad, spray adhesives, and polyurethane.

Pom Pom Rugs

tutorial: onethousandsingledays

With a plethora of tutorials, suggestions, and tips from DIY rug experts across the internet, this complex DIY project is made into an easy do it yourself craft that infuses an element of fun into your home’s decor; not to mention that a pom pom rug’s texture is simply a foot heaven. This DIY project would be perfect to be used as a children’s play area!

Climbing Rug

tutorial: mountainproject

Climbing ropes cost quite a lot of money and while this DIY project turns out to be something spectacular, going out to buy climbing ropes just so you can weave them into what we like to call a “Climbing rug” might not fit into our concept of easy do it yourself crafts.

However, if you already have climbing ropes you or any of your family members or friends would rather toss in the bin; this would be a good time to weave a climbing rug.

Patterned Swirl Rug

tutorial: abeautifulmess

We have seen swirl rugs made out of just swirling ropes – this DIY project, however, just adds a little extra to the mix. A patterned swirl rug is born when the rope is wrapped in a fabric before the swirling happens. Just genius!

Puffy Baby Rug

tutorial: awaitingada

We can’t tell which is more – the time taken to pull this off or the pleasure you get when you eventually have your baby on this puffy rug. While this DIY project is time-consuming, you would be glad you put in all that work for an end result that has your baby happy and cozy.

37 Small Bathroom Makeovers. Before and after pics

April 30, 2017 By RumensDiamond Leave a Comment

When people visit your home for the first time and decide to take a tour, chances are that you are quick to show off the living room first, thus sparking a conversation about perhaps family photos, choice instruments and any unique items you may have on display, after which the kitchen and its amenities, as well as the bedroom, get their fair share of attention – the bathroom, however, is often not the center of attraction and the only way a bathroom gets shown off is if the bathroom was just remodeled. Other than that, your bathroom is the place you go to, but don’t talk about.

Fact, however, remains that bathrooms are quintessential parts of any home;

It is the one place you start and finish your day. When you wake up, you would use the toilet, then wash your hands, probably take a shower, as well as brush your teeth and more. Before you go to bed, you’d relieve yourself, then wash your hands, remove any makeup or simply wash your face before you get ready for bed. Research has shown that the average person spends at least 1.5 years of their lifetime in the bathroom.

Looking to remodel and show off your bathroom? Here are 37 small bathroom makeover ideas to give your bathroom the attention it deserves.

Remodeling your bathroom doesn’t necessarily involve taking out the entire elements of the room or even doing any heavy plumbing work. By simply slapping on some new paint or switching out the circular mirror on the wall for an alternative that offers more detail could be the facelift your bathroom needs.

Think your bathtub is ugly or boring? Instead of going all out to get an entirely new bathtub, Airstones could be the only modification you need! What are Airstones you ask? Airstones are manufactured stone veneers which are made of 80% recycled materials thus making them lighter than concrete as well as real stone. Airstones are eco-friendly and pretty easy to install as a DIY project. Simply apply the adhesive on the airstone and stick it to the bathtub and you have yourself a DIY tub surround with Airstone – and thanks to being more affordable than switching out to an entirely new bathtub, just about anyone can do this without breaking a sweat.

There’s so much more that empty space in your bathroom could hold – a basket of towels, jars full of detergent or even a flower pot. This homeowner transformed an erstwhile bland wall to a hanging shelf. And just in case you were wondering where the towel hanger went, it fits the door better.

While an entire overhaul may not always be necessary, it does, however, manage to give your bathroom an entirely different look you can show off. Noticeable in the image are the changes in the bathroom vanity style, toilets, and mirrors.

Get the details via tidbits-cami

From tacky and overly busy to simple, stylish and elegant – this remodeled bathroom features a new bathtub, refurbished vanity and a see-through storage. The choice to use a white painting gives the bathroom a larger outlook.

Get the details via thepinktumbleweed

This makeover sees a hanging wood finish storage give way to a hanging towel rack as curtains and bathroom vanity are changed as well. A makeover could mean restyling or taking out certain elements of a room and not necessarily every aspect of the room – in this refurbishment, the toilet is preserved in the aftermath.

A glass shower is transformed such that it features a shower curtain. In similar fashion, an old bathroom vanity makes way for a more chic vanity that doubles as a storage. The white paint gives this bathroom a classy finish as well as a wider feel.

Get the details via jennasuedesign

A makeover worthy of a show-off!

This makeover is similar to an artist painting the Monalisa on an erstwhile bland surface. Wallpaper covers a portion of the walls as one large mirror is replaced with two stylish rectangular mirrors. One “before” vanity makes way yet again for dual “after” vanity thus buttressing the essence of a bathroom vanity. Vanity and storages come as a pair more often these days so a new storage is introduced into the bathroom as well.
