faux tile, faux granite and more creative decorating ideas

this is not tile it is faux tile i.e painted to look like tile.  Soon we will be doing this on a piece of furniture and will video tape it and explain step by step how this is created

foe granite, believe it or not this is not granite it is paint, and not counter-top paint either, this was done long before it was popular to paint your counters.  It is done with paint and lots of polyurethane

faux tile on the island in kitchen

an old window frame painted and then stenciled in with the words live, laugh, love and used as a picture frame.  This was my sisters brilliant idea

on the left is a painted frame for the hanging decoration, the curtains were made by using plant hangers on the ends, a curtain rod in the middle and the fabric was measured out and sewed at home to fit
