Decorating with rust, metal and unique finds!

Dave and I stumbled on to this store recently and I could have spent the afternoon there! Filled with chippy wood, rusty metal and unique finds!

The shop is The Art of Rust, located in Phoenix, Arizona. Follow them on FB @ The Art of Rust and IG @ The Art of Rust to see all of their new shipments and special events. Check their website here for their hours before you visit because they travel now and then to shop for new product.

It’s a small shop, most of it is outdoors, … Read more

The Red Door ~ Sprucing it up for a little holiday DIY!

November 12, 2020 · Home Projects

A DIY project for the holidays!

I bought this door/board dealio months ago and it’s been hanging out in my shop. I wasn’t sure what to do with it but knew I wanted it when I saw it. It was painted red, but had splatters of other colors on it as well. It was a perfect DIY project for the holidays!

We just had our house painted and painted our front door a beautiful red, for a little pop of color. We used Sherwin Williams Spiced Cherry and it was going to be perfect for this project.

So, I put … Read more

Weekly Faves!

October 9, 2020 · Shopping Finds

I run across so many beautiful pieces, several great deals and I just can’t stop! It’s an addiction.

Sometimes all it takes is a couple of new items to freshen up a room. I’m a huge believer in buying what you love, regardless of style. Makes your home your personality and that, to me, is charm.

Don’t you love these pumpkins!?!

Black & Natural = Cozy!

October 7, 2020 · Shopping Finds

Who doesn’t love black and natural combined in a room?!? You could add a little zing of color too, maybe cognac or chartreuse…what ever color blows your skirt up! Black and natural, to me, is warm and timeless.

This chair is a must have!

Cutting boards are a common thrift store find too, just sand them down a bit and seal them with hemp oil (makes it food friendly). I see them all the time in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

The little marble and wood cake stand sits on my kitchen counter for my diffuser and sugar bowl. … Read more

Fall Vibes!

September 29, 2020 · Shopping Finds

Have you started decorating for fall yet? My favorite part of decorating for fall are the colors, especially the deep oranges, greens and cognac is my new fave!!

It’s still over 100 degrees here in Phoenix so it’s a little hard to feel fall, but the temps are dropping each week and I can smell the fall air, just a bit.

Here are some of my faves:

I’m loving the felt acorns!

Don’t forget your fall diffuser with essential oils! I’ll post all the info you’ll need on that next!

Thanks for being here with me! ~ Lisa

Japonica Transfer

September 16, 2020 · DIY Video

I picked up this framed mirror at a thrift store several months ago. It was $12.99 and I knew I’d either sell it as is or decorate it somehow, eventually.

I decided to put an IOD transfer on it today and I chose Japonica. I carry several IOD transfers in my online shop and you can view all of them here https://twistmyarmoire.com/collections/transfers?page=1

I cleaned the mirror with vinegar and water and a soft cloth before applying the transfer.

It’s so fun using IOD transfers, the possibilities are endless and it is really so simple to apply them. Anybody can do … Read more

Kitchen remodel is done!

September 8, 2020 · Home Projects

Dave and I have owned this home for four years now. I knew when we bought it I would want to update the kitchen at some point, but we were fortunate in that it was clean and definitely usable in the meantime.

This was the original version. Laminate counter tops, decent cabinets in that ever so popular honey color, standard sink.

For the past couple of years I knew I wanted to paint the cabinets and I was leaning towards a grey/green color. The cabinets are a good quality and didn’t have any issues, so painting them was going to … Read more
