I wanted to give a update a few things around my home because I thought they were a little plain. Using some Main Street Creation Decals I did 7 DIY Makeovers one might not have thought of doing.
7 Easy DIY Makeovers Video
Update a Desk
Remember my free filing cabinet that I turned into a desk? Well I thought the back of it looked kind of boring. You can find the desk tutorial here – How To Turn A Filing Cabinet Into A Desk
I added some inspiration and fun Main Street Creations decals to it.
I decided to add some to the side as well. Now my desk inspires me even more.
Give a plain candle holder a makeover.
I added an inspirational decal to a plain candle holder.
This would make a great gift idea as well.
Update a plain lampshade
I added a sunflower decal to my plain lamp shade.
Now it has a fun glow. You could easily switch these decals out per season.
Update a plain door
My pantry door is right in the middle of my kitchen. I added this decal that is so my husband and I.
Update an appliance
Add these decals to any appliances you have – microwaves, refrigerators, washers/driers, etc.
Make a travel lap/activity tray
Going on a road trip? Add this United States decal to a baking sheet, and you have a tray that the kids can put on their laps. They can do activities, use magnets, eat on them, and use a dry erase marker to map out the trip or cross off states you went through.
Update furniture
This is a chest my grandpa made. I painted it white but felt it was still a little plain.
I added some Main Street Creations decals to it and love it.
You can check out Main Street Creations website! Use the code CHAS20 for a 20%off discount! The great thing about these decals is that you can easily remove them and change them up.

Love your ideas for updating plain items around your home, Chas! Really cool!
Thank you so much Gail and so fun destashing with you!
What fun ideas, Chas! I especially like the flowers on the chest. This is a great way to give a little personality to all of those items.
Thank you very much Beverly, and so much fun destashing with you.
We had the same idea with the Be Kind mantra! I love the sunflower lamp shade and Coffee First decal too! Way to spiff things up.
Thank you so much Kristie, I’m so glad you’ve been doing something like this too and thanks for sharing your favorites.
These are all so pretty! The candle holder is my favorite. It’s beautiful!
Thank you so much Michelle. I always like to know what speaks to everyone 🙂
Great idea using decals, especially if you feel like changing it up again! I love the sunflower lamp, but of course, I’m partial to that flower. 😉
Thank you so much Allyson, I love them too!
Some really great ideas. So simple but effective.
Thank you so much Anita!
I think my favorite is the candle holder, but I really do like that lamp too!
Thank you Alexandra, I always love hearing what speaks to everyone 🙂
Lots of great ideas here!
Thank you so much Rosanne
I love your lighthouse I plan to make one for my terrace, I am always looking for “Coastal or Nautical” type ideas.

Thank you so much Kevin, I’ll be putting it up here on the blog. Hometalk says I have to wait 30 days after doing a Hometalk TV show before posting it here.
Excellent and easy ideas!
Thanks for linking up to Creative Compulsions!
