55 Home Decorating Projects - Part 10

Etch glass

There is something magical about etching glass ― the process turns plain glass pieces into decorative objects in minutes.

The secret is etching cream. You simply apply it to the glass, and the surface turns into a translucent white. The results are beautiful, subtle, and lasting.

Paint a floor canvas

A cool floor covering made from painted canvas is simple to make and surprisingly durable―and it adds instant graphic punch to your room.

You can paint one freehand or work with a favorite printed design.

Nature's stained glass

Chinese pistache leaves are translucent enough to glow like stained glass when lit from behind. To celebrate their vivid fall beauty indoors, display them on simple glass hurricane candle holders.

Gather leaf cuttings from your garden (ginkgo and Japanese maple are other good choices).

Press them in a book overnight to keep them from crinkling, then use one or two Glue Dots on the back of each stem, affixing each leaflet to the outside surface of the glass.

Make over a dresser

Remake a dresser with paint, a little wood putty, new drawer pulls, and fresh detailing.

We found this one on Craigslist, painted it black with grey accents, and added Mission-style square oak knobs.
