DIY Mosaic Tile Mirror Shelf

Today I'm taking a short break from my "New Year, New Room" Series to share a special DIY project. As you may already know, last year I had the incredible opportunity to partner with The Home Depot's Do-It-Herself Workshop 2015 Program. In addition to hosting live quarterly workshops in various cities around the mid-west, I also had the honor of designing a DIY project (behind the scenes) for The Home Depot to feature in one of their DIH Workshop's throughout the country!! (Pinch me). The project I created was a "Mosaic Tile Mirror Shelf". 

Take a look…

It was so exciting to watch Do-It-Herselfers around the country attend the Mosaic Tile Mirror Shelf Workshop last year and make one of these for their own home! I loved hearing all the positive feedback on how the project turned out. Every time I look at mine, I'm reminded of all the ladies that attended this workshop, many of them using power tools and learning to tile for the very first time! 

 I hung my shelf in our master bedroom next to the window. It does a great job of bouncing natural light around the space, the texture the tile provides to the space is amazing and the reflection of the candle light in the mirror is uber romantic (*blushes). 

If you would like to make a Mosaic Tile Mirror Shelf for yourself and you missed the in-store DIH Workshop, NO Worries!  CLICK HERE for the step by step instructions.

Creating a project that is featured by The Home Depot DIH Workshop program kind of makes me feel like a proud new Mom. Thanks for stopping by today and letting me brag about my baby!

Do-It-Herself (DIY) Custom Monogrammed Wreath

It almost never happens that I post twice in one day, but I'm so excited about the project I just finished up for my {sponsored} participation in The Home Depot's Do-It-Herself Workshop.  If you missed the initial post, click here for the scoop.  After seeing a holiday inspired monogram wreath made by The Home Depot for the upcoming Do-It-Herself workshop, I got busy making my own version today.  

Here is what I made...

What started out as thin sheets of plywood, a small bag of supplies and two fun power tools (that I never used until today) is now a festive, custom holiday wreath.  

Here is how I made it…

 If you live in the Detroit area, you may catch me live on a local Detroit News station next week sharing tips on making a monogram wreath with a designer spin (more details on that to come).

The Home Depot has recently expanded their locations for free in store Do-It-Herself workshops.  On Thursday, November 21st they are offering a workshop to show you how to make their festive monogram wreath.  Click here to register for a workshop near you. 

I will be at a local Detroit area location (Canton, Mi) sharing details how I put my spin on their wreath. I may even be caught showing attendees how to find inspiration online through sites like pinterest. 

You can visit me there by clicking here to rsvp.

I will be taking lots of pictures during the event.  There will also be facebook posts, instagram shouts and live tweeting going on throughout the evening.  If you aren't in Detroit and can't make it out to your local Home Depot, but still want to get in on the fun, follow me on instagram, twitter and facebook.  

It's going to be too much fun my friends.  If you have ever wondered what it would be like to make something yourself, this is a great opportunity to learn how choose the right tools and also see how to operate them at The Home Depot.  Although there will be lots of ladies attending, this workshop is a great opportunity for anyone!
