7 Easy DIY Makeovers

Decor and Decorating

Share it with others!

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.

Remember my free filing cabinet that I turned into a desk? Well I thought the back of it looked kind of boring.

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.

    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. 😉
