Rainy days calls for a little DIY

So lately I've been DYING to paint our front door. White is so plain and boring... And for those who know me I'm definitely neither of those! I finally got my parents to agree on a color.. My favorite color! TURQUOISE! I was so pumped i could barely go to bed last night, the creative juices were definitely flowing!


I had my first go at DIY chalk paint. 

It was pretty successful I must say!  Plus I found that the paint dried much faster and matte (I hate glossy paint!).  I had way too much fun painting the door and watching the looks on my neighbors faces as they drove by to see me with a paintbrush in hand painting my door and blaring country music! Despite the cold rainy weather, today was pretty successful! I even made a burlap wreath to go with my freshly painted door! I'm posting a picture of my finished product with step by step instructions (since a few people have been asking) to follow in my next blog!


The finished product!



This was my first go at wreath making too.. I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome! 

What are your favorite things to do on rainy days?

xoxoxo, Paolla
