White, Boring Or Amazing?

Ok, I got to admit I get a little bored with white kitchens. So many of them are the same thing over and over. So as I clicked through white after white kitchen on Houzz I started saving the white ones that really jumped out at me.

So if you're going to do a white kitchen, I think the main thing to remember is to add lots of textures. Check out all these pictures and tell me what you think the key is!

You can even get them personalized for an extra special touch.


You have to see the ipod cases and Kindle covers that she and her mother make together. Here's a little sample...

Coming Soon....

Hey all,
I'm so excited! I've got another great giveaway coming up on Monday that I know you're going to want to enter.

I also am getting ready to tackle my dining room table and turn it into my dream farm table. Stay tuned for that progress! (I just gotta figure out how to get it out the door...)

I've been stashing away my Etsy money to buy paint from Caromal Colours for my kitchen cabinets. I am super excited about having them painted. I am super un-excited about actually painting them. My kitchen is the heart and soul of our house (not because of my cooking, but because of its location). With two little boys on the loose, it will be a challenge to get them painted without my whole house having hand prints, footprints and such all over. By the way, I'm really nervous about painting my cabinets green, so if you have any thoughts on this, send them over!

FIY, if you are interested in using Caromal Colours, then I suggest you click on over to Fabulously Finished so that you can use Patty's code.

Other than that...
Have a great weekend and keep the links coming to We Can Do It Cheaper!

We Can Do It Cheaper - Faking The Vintage Jar

The Virginia House


Who loves vintage blue mason jars? Raise your hand! (for all who can't see me, both my hands are in the air and I'm typing with my toes)

So I've been wanting some but haven't been able to get to any junk/flea or antique places to pick any up at a reasonable price. Though they are readily available on Etsy and Ebay, I haven't wanted to spend that kind of money on a jar.

Here is a real one from Etsy. Great isn't it!

After seeing how many on bloggy land had started "painting" jars with a mixture of Modge Podge and food coloring, I decided to give it a whirl.

I failed to take more pictures of them. Miserably failed.
I picked up a "Ball" mason jar at Hobby Lobby for about $1 and then just used some jars I had around the house. I mixed up my M.P. with my food coloring (I used the kind in little jars that you use to color icing) and kept mixing and painting on the jars till I got a color I somewhat liked. Next time I won't do them quite so blue. Anyhoo, if you don't like the color the first time, let it dry then do it again! Try to brush on your "paint" in nice even strokes so that your jars aren't too milky looking.
This is a really fun project and so easy and cheap! You can even paint the lid with a flat gray to give it more of a vintage feel. So if'n you're desiring some of them old jars but don't have the time or money... here ya go!

Thanks to all of you who linked up last week. We had 20 linkers!! I am super excited.
