But a trend I’ve been following that takes the black and white decor to another level is black and copper! I feel that black and copper is just as classy as black and white so for this month’s I hope you love this black and copper furniture makeover as much as I do and be sure to check out the contest entries! | Bottom Left is Saved by Scottie | Middle is the creator of the contest and owner of Evey’s Creations | Top Right is Jodi of Glittered Barn Designs

Want to know how to paint tile with chalk paint? I know most people think there’s no prep when working with chalk paint but for best results, you want to do a little prep to the surface. When stenciling tile you want to paint every other tile so that the previous tile can dry. The process doesn’t always go as smooth as you hope, while it took longer than I expected (because of the tile surface), it wasn’t hard to do.

We hung onto these two pallets from our DIY Pallet Wall because I knew I wanted to turn them into something new. We set up our table saw and miter saw on the back patio then started measuring. We used Kreg Jig screws since we had them but you can also use a square head screw and bit. We used our mini Kreg Jig to drill pilot holes in the back of each side of the pallet.

Before using Daddy Van’s decorative waxes I had only used wax as a protective layer. That’s where decorative wax comes to the rescue giving the piece dimension and life. Decorative wax isn’t like the wax I have previously mentioned. The process for decorative wax is similar but you don’t have to apply it to the entire piece.
