DIY: Making faux brick walls look old

Painting faux brick walls is easy!

Brick walls, brick floors, brick ceilings.  Any and all of them.  Brick can really give a space a unique and textured look, whether left natural or painted.

DIY: Tray with O’verlays

May 26, 2015 • By

I love trays on a table.

They corral the junk and just make a space look more organized.

I also love O’verlays.

O’verlays add a decorative element to whatever they are applied to, are so easy to use and  are just plain awesome!!

I thought, surely I can combine my love of the two…so I did…

I made a tray with O’verlays.
