Romantic Homes Magazine Projects
Romantic Homes Magazine is sometimes hit or miss. The latest edition, the August 2016 issue, is one of those hits! So many great ideas in here.
Two distressed projects in the magazine immediately caught my eye because of how heavily distressed they are. I already have old projects that are similar, I guess I just need to distress the heck out of mine.
The chalkboard I showed two weeks ago, for Five on Friday, just needs some heavy distressing and it could easily hold the hanging jar with flowers as the magazine's chalkboard above does.
And when I saw this picture of a heavily distressed wood plaque with a large hook, I thought of a similar one I made last year.
Back then I used an old outdated picture and a deer hook to make a this project for my laundry room to hold my hangers. Sorry for the shadows. It hangs in the laundry room with very little natural light so the overhead light had to be on.
Here's the original wooden picture that I used to make the hanger. Obviously not my style in its original state. I bought it a few years ago at a garage sale for $1.00 just for this type of project.
As usual, I didn't receive any money for my opinion. In fact, I let my subscription to Romantic Homes expire two months ago so I had to pay full price for this issue. But I was happy to buy it as I truly loved almost every page.
Thanks for dropping by!
This home magazine must be storing interesting ideas to deck up home and to bring better changes in the home.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how similar your projects were to those in the magazine. Just shows what a talent you have, well done.
ReplyDeleteI like your projects better, don't like things too distressed.
ReplyDeleteI like your projects - especially the old $1 frame that you transformed with paint and the deer hook. I am TOTALLY going to copy you. I have an eiffel tower hook that I've had for about 3 years and I haven't figured out what to do with it until now. It will be perfect in my laundry room.

Michelle you are my twin. I've been pulling things out from 1 to 20 years ago and fixing them up or donating them. Hope you will link your project when you finish it.
ReplyDeleteI just may have to buy that magazine. I love the cover and what you showed in the posts. Love getting new ideas for our home.
ReplyDeleteI like the distressed look.
ReplyDeleteI don't get any magazines delivered anymore. The library here in town has a great selection.
I like the chalkboard project ♥

I let my subscription expire, too. Like you, sometimes I loved every bit of it and other times, not so much...some great ideas here..and I never thought about buying an old print in a nice frame and painting over the print and adding what you like to it...love your hooks...
ReplyDeleteits fun to read magazines when I have time! Love your project !
ReplyDeleteYour projects are wonderful...I have let a lot of my magazine subscriptions run out! Just don't feel like they are as good as they once were! Happy Wednesday, Pam @ Everyday Living

I'll have to check out that magazine. I used to subscribe to it too. I now don't subscribe to any magazines. I just buy them on occasion if I see one I love. Looks like you're getting some great ideas from it!
ReplyDeleteI rarely buy magazines since they are too expensive. this does look like a good issue though. Most mags are hit or miss. Love your project!
