DIY- Giani Granite table top and hutch top!

I was SUPER tickled.......

when Giani Granite contacted me back in November and asked if I would like to give Gianit Granite a try?, I WAS THRILLED. I clicked the link to their site and learned that you can transform your kitchen counters (you know the one's most of us hate.) into a faux Granite look, that looks like the
{REAL DEAL}. I was WOWED. I also was a little bummed, I thought this product will be of NO USE to me? I rent and so I can't just transform my counters into this fabulousness. I emailed Giani Granite and told them that I rent and sadly won't be able to use it. I was told in return I could use it on tables, and other table top type furniture. YAY, I once again was SUPER THRILLED.

let me just say that this product is amazing, and HELLO STINKEN EASY, I MEAN SOOOOOOOOOO kindergarten EASY!!! PLUS THE AWESOME KIT comes with a HOW to Video that was super informational and helpful. P.S. my mom and sis came to visit today, and they both freaked over my table and hutch. I wish you could of heard their WOW'S and responses. IT WAS AWESOME. MY mumzy said my table has never looked better. Sighhhh, love you  mumz.   LOVE you TOO Giani Granite and your SUPER DUPER AMAZING PRODUCT!!!

HERE ARE SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES.

{Valentines Shelf of LOVE}

.... and since when

did I say I was done decorating for Valentines? HE! here is just one other spot in my home that I fluffed up with some love.

The little paper pennant I wrote "KISS ME" on you can see it much better in person. I was just to lazy to cut out letters (yes even from my cricut) and glue them on. The brown paper pennants are from Canvas Corp.  The wood block XO'S and the Love- are from a store called Krumpet's Home Decor, I bought them a few years ago. Then I filled the candle votive's with Valentine candy corn. All very simple and took all of maybe 8  mins. to throw together.

 

{ "KISS ME" .. MY ETERNAL LOVE-bug}

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY COM.

XO,

Entry way gets Valentine-ified

PPPPPPPPLEASE......

 tell me I am {NOT THE ONLY ONE} who tweaks and changes things until you get exactly what you want? I would say that I am driving myself bonkers.. but I love doing this sort of stuff/THANG, so I will keep on the tweaking. 

ANYHOO, my entry table which was recently posted along with the stamped runner, GOT VALENTINE-IFIED it needed to look more like Valentines and less like a wedding reception table. So I added the RED! 

SO HERE ARE THE NEW PICTURES

P.S. THANKS FOR putting up with my "Obsessive Compulsive Decorating Disorder" 

 

 

 

THAT'S IT......... for now. winks.

Featured Guest Post-THE LETTER 4 {DIY Warm Fuzzy Heart}

Hello there CraftOManiacs, My name is Janae and I blog over at The Letter 4 with my three other sisters Juliann, Jade, and Jamie. We are 4 sisters that grew up very close to one another. Now we have since all grown up and moved away and we miss the 3:00 am laughing, the projects we did together, stealing each others clothes, and everything that goes along with growing up with sisters. 

Our blog has been our way to connect to each other again and share projects with each other. Each sister has a unique taste and talent but we all have a passion for creating beautiful things!

Today, I am introducing one of my life savers to you. A homemade warm fuzzy. Just a bundle of microwavable warmth that puts a smile on my face. Whenever I don't feel so swell or I'm just cold at night, this thing works miracles! I have a million and one in my room. It's seriously one of my most treasured things I've ever made in my life. hahaha

 What's neat about it, is that you can personalize it! Get some fabric and draw any shape you want!

 Cut out a front and back that match up. Put them together so that the back side of the fabric faces out and sew around it. DON'T forget to leave a small hole.

 Turn it inside out...

 Fill it up with rice, wheat, beans, barley, oatmeal...whatever you prefer or have on hand. You can also make it have a pleasant aroma by adding peppermint oil, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, lavender...again, whatever you prefer.

Sew up the hole, stick it in the microwave for a minute or two, and there you have an easy made miracle worker. Your own warm fuzzy!

 Jamie and I made the heart as a Valentine warm fuzzy. My personal favorite and most used one is Pearl, my whale that I created. The square one is Julianna's that is filled with wheat and peppermint oil. Genius.

Stop by our blog and say hi! Or you can visit us on our Facebook Page!

Thanks for having us on your fabulous blog today Jen!!!

THANK YOU  {{LETTER 4}} for sharing this sweetness with us all. AREN'T THESE SISTERS JUST DARLING. SISTER'S WHO LOVE TO CRAFT WHAT COULD BE BETTER?

AND BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THEIR BLOG, just look at this cute Valentine Heart Art they made

THANK YOU SISTERS FROM letter 4
