Designs by Maria was kind enough to send me a poster of my choice. I love quotes and sayings that really have a positive effect and have always tried to teach my boys to look at the glass half full! I hung mine on my office wall next to my desk. I matted and framed mine in a sleek silver frame, and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The print itself is a great inspiration to see every day. There are several different prints to choose from, but this was my favorite! Here is a sneak peek at my office too!

DIY Gold Polka Dots

September 05, 2012

Decor

I haven't had a DIY for some time now and I really was missing a project. I like to have projects and little craft to do on the weekends. I have two of these vases and thought they would look darling with some polka dots. I needed a little something for my desk. I love how it turned out!!

I used my circle punch and scrap paper to create a painting template for the dots. I then taped them to the inside of the vases aligning my dots! Then, I painted on the outside! After the paint was dry to the touch, I placed the vases in a cold oven and turned it on the 350 degrees. As soon as the oven reached the desired temperature I turned it off and left the vase in there to cool down. Sort of a "cure" process. I would not submerge my vases now that I have painted it, but rather hand wash it lightly. All together from start to finish, this little diy took about an 2 hours to compete. Super easy and a beautiful addition!
