Best DIY Projects: Easy, Fast and Affordable Home Decor Projects #2


Hi there my beautiful lovelies! Hope you guys are doing well and staying safe. The past months have been nothing but stressful for me. Even meditation did not help with this level of stress. Hence I decided to focus on something I love. I have been painting and drawing for a while now. However, over the past several years, life got in the way. I love to paint and do crafting. So let begin our Best DIY Projects: Easy, Fast and Affordable Home Decor Projects #2

Best DIY Projects

Nevertheless, the recent stressor has compelled me to stop and take a look at what I am doing and can do to help with my stress. It is then that I decided to take up my sketch pencil and my paints. What I forgot with my busy life, is how art has helped me to step back and look at my life and then directly address any issue. Whenever you are consumed in your art, there are times, when it’s very hard to see the big picture. It is then you need to take a break and come back with a new perspective. You will be able to see what you have done so far and where you want to go next.

My paintings and arts have allowed me to take that break and come back with a new perspective on the stressor. That in turn has made it easier for me to find the next step toward mindfulness. My art has become my new mindful meditation. Today I want to share with you a step-by-step tutorial on one such art and I hope you can find it as much therapeutic as it has been for me.

If you enjoy what you see please subscribe to my brand new channel dedicated completely to my artwork. Today, I want to share with you a step-by-step painting. I am no professional artist and I don’t claim to be one. I am an amateur artist who paints for stress relief. I have painted with oil paint before, but have not worked with acrylic paint for long. Hence, I will bring you my amateur step-by-step acrylic paintings of various YouTubers. Hope you enjoy the video.

However, when i received the item, it was much less colorful Thank the picture above (please see the youtube link below)

Using Personalized Design for Decor


Hi there my lovelies! Hope you all are doing well and staying safe. As I have shared with you before, I have in the process of redecorating my home without breaking my bank. Let’s face it, I am also in my journey towards financial freedom, which means penny pinching. Hence, I will be relying a lot on Dollar Tree and Dollar Stores. However, the one I am sharing with you now is through Etsy before I went on a financial diet. Today, I wanted to share with another great experience that I had with another small business owner at Etsy. I am talking about CopperFoxCompany.

20200804_123520

My beautiful lovelies! I have these wood pieces with bark as coasters. It gives a chic cottage vibe that I like. To be honest, I don’t know what my design style is. With work, life, taking care of family, I really don’t have time to focus on specific design style. All I know is that my family and I like clean lines with neutral colors. I went on to the HGTV website and took a quiz and it showed my design style is modern cottage chic. All that matters to me is that there are clean lines.

20200804_123459

That being said, with the additional of the beautiful stove top, I wanted to continue the theme. Hence, I went online to Etsy to find something personalized and had woodwork motive. I went found this store, know as CopperFoxCompany with some unique items. I found this beautiful tray with matches our coaster bark color. Hence, I went online and thanks to a promo code was able to save on my order.

The seller was very nice, and I was very impressed with the final product. I now have a very beautiful way to organize and display my coasters. It feels less cluttered. I was impressed by their service, so I decided to share it with you. They were very kind to offer me 25% promo code for my viewers and readers. Check out their other items:

I am not affiliated not CopperFoxCompany in any shape of form. I am not getting paid to promote their product. I am glad to share my good experience with you. If you like what you see please use the link here and use the promo code Allaboutme31 to receive 25% of your order. It can be great DYI project but I just don’t have that patience. I want to admire and appreciate the individuals who take their time to do such wonderful works and I want to help small business. So, please check them out. However, if you do have a chic DYI project of your own, please share, I would love to see and appreciate your talent.

My Declutter Project


Good Morning my lovelies! Hope you are doing well. Hope you had the chance to visit my new YouTube channel. You didn’t? Well, there’s still time. Do it now. I would love to hear your feedback. I would really appreciate it if you could please subscribe to my channel and like my videos. I really mean it!

Now that part is taken care of today I will take you to a virtual trip with me to declutter. Why is this important you ask? Well, you have know me than one thing you know for sure I am a lazy gurl to do stuff with less effort. Lol…why do I say that about myself? Well that’s true. I like to spend more time in life doing what is important to me, that’s living in the moment. Another thing you should know about me is that I am a shopaholic with generalized anxiety disorder. How does that have to do with declutter? Well, when you are dealing with the above to problem, your life can easily turn to that of a borderline hoarder. That’s exactly what happened to me.

Hence, staying at home has given me the opportunity to do some decluttering. I have a long way to go but at least I have started! The very first place that I have started is the kitchen. Please check out my above video where I showed a glimpse of my decluttering project. First of all storage boxes, shelf organizer, labels, and drawer dividers have been my lifesaver. I have ADD and memory issue (from medicine side effect). Hence, forgetting is a common part of my life. This is where labeling has come in very handy for me.

My mom always tells me, if my head wasn’t attached to my body, I would ave forget it long time ago. This is very true. After organization, I would lose (misplaced may be the more accurate term) very easy, and label made it easier for me to easily locate everything. You see, the clutter started in the first place because I wanted everyone on my sight so that I don’t misplace them and when you know that for everything, things can get out of control easily. That’s why I needed this decluttering project as a cognitive/behavioral therapy.

First of all, keeping like items in boxes can not only make your life easier but can also keep your items organized. mDesign boxes has been my lifesaver when it comes to organizing. My kitchen is full of different types of these boxes.

Next, these airtight food containers are another life saver. Moreover, it comes with the chalkboard label and marker. Beside, they are also stackable, which makes it quite easy to stack them and look organize. Where it’s cookies, flour, cereal, sugar or anything. I have them all in these stackable airtight containers and have them labeled so that they can be identified easily. Now I don’t have to look through items for half an hour everyday. It has made my life so easier.

It has made my life so easier.

As I have mentioned earlier, chalkboard labels have been my new BFF. Don’t tell the storage boxes that I did it.All my items are now labelled, thanks to these handy little guys. It makes it so much easier to me to locate items.

Shelf organizer has been my another life saver. As you can see the video It has allowed me to organize my spice jars in a way that is easy to get to. I absolutely love new new organized kitchen.

Howe do you organize your kitchen? Do you have any tips for me? I would love to read your feedbacks.
