Boutique preparation...

Hi, long time no see, I wish I could have more hours in a day!
I confess it's been awhile :) What I am doing? Really busy doing preparations before I can open my online shop, I want to call it "Shabby Moth boutique", so excited about all the ideas that crowded my head, projects and projects are just waiting in a long line.. For now I can say it is going to be handmade decor and gifts boutique on facebook at first and then I plan to open a store on etsy.
But for now I have a little sneak peek for you, let me know what you think about the whole idea?

These are my ZINC ORNAMENTS, good for hanging on the tree or just for putting them in the bowl for the coffee table or mantel! Great for holiday decorating. (To order contact me on facebook, link below)

Come and LIKE me facebook page where the grand opening will be announced too: ReDOem and Shabby Moth. Also I post there lots of inspirations about vintage décor in different styles.
Keep in touch!!!!

Old trunk redo !!!

I believe this thing officially calls steam trunk. I found it at my in-law's farm (yay)! It was scratched quite a bit...and the colour faded. When I was picking a paint I start wondering what kind of material the trunk was covered with, because it looked different than anything I know. So I did some research and closest answer was "vulcanite". Apparently back in old days they covered photo cameras with it. Anyway, maybe you know what it usually covered with? It also reminds me pressed paper.....
My choice of paint was Rust-oleum painters touch in black (best brand for me so far). And for the metal parts I chose spray paint.. unfortunately I don't remember the colour name....

Here is my trunk before transformation:

For inside I also used the spray paint in brown. The trunk was really smelly inside, but paint did sure fixed that  :)

In these pictures the hinges are already painted. To do that I had to mask tape all over around them (.....why? I wonder now .....since I never painted the trunk itself yet.... oh, well).

And here it is!!!! I keep children's books in it!!!! and puzzles! :)

IKEA hack : children table set

I bought this table set from IKEA two years ago, since then it has suffered numbers of changes. And eventually I've transformed it to what I like.
Here how it looked at birth:

But I wanted it to look more like my other furniture in the living room, so I stained it and put several clear coats. So it looked like this:

... one day I sat on the little chair and that caused the giant whole in the middle of the seat. The sentence was: reDO it into something durable and nice looking. I bought a spray paint in "ocean breeze" colour and some wood planks at the Lowe's to fulfil my plan. And look what I've got:

I personalised it using the stencils I made and acrylic paint. Also distressed the planks a bit with sander before I finished it with clear coat.

About me a bit more

Hello everyone, I decided to start a blog! I had this idea every time I was building something new for my house. Every blog I  visited and every neat thing, weather on the web or in real life, that attracted me gave me an idea to share it with you - DIYers, moms who do their nests cosy!
I have to blame Pinterest for my love of vintage and rustic things! Anyway, my husband definitely blames it!.... So I decorate in vintage and rustic styles, also love french white and black style.  All right, just give me some time and I'll make an awesome blog for you! Forgive my English, by the way, because I am a foreigner :)
The main purpose of this blog is to share some DIY's and tutorials that I personally do, and also maybe some great ideas found on the Internet.
I also love to crochet, so maybe in future I'll be posting some interesting patterns and my own creations once in awhile !
...And I do some scrapbooking too.

In a nut shell: I'm a mom of three, who loves to make her home cosy and beautiful. Budget is a good thing, that's why I love to decorate my house with repurposed and reused things. I love DIY's, thrift and hardware stores. I would be very pleased if some of my ideas were useful and entertaining for you!
