Mirror, Mirror!

· DIY Video

It’s not easy to photograph a mirror! You can see my remodeled kitchen in the background on this photo. Peek at my Kitchen Remodel post if you haven’t seen it yet. You can see it here ~ https://twistmyarmoire.blog/kitchen-remodel-is-done/

I bought this brass framed mirror at http://www.99only.com. I love the brass edge frame and the chain to hang it on.

I used the IOD transfer Ladies in Waiting, you can view all of my IOD products here ~ https://twistmyarmoire.com/collections/transfers

Feel free to email me with any questions ~ I’m happy to help! ~ Lisa

Thanks for watching!

Japonica Transfer

· 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!

· 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

Fun Finds ~ Week 2!

· Shopping Finds

I visit thrift stores probably 2 – 3 times per week. That probably sounds excessive and yes I am addicted…but, I also have a business that relies on fun finds to constantly be funneling through. I love what I do.

It’s funny, I left a thrift store today without anything and realized that I hardly every do that. I’ve become more particular with my purchases as I’ve learned what sells and what sits as well as what the customers like in both of my shop spaces. I just luck out most visits and find at least a couple of items … Read more

Fun Thrifting Finds!

· Shopping Finds

I am a scavenger at heart and I love thrift stores. My husband, on the other hand, will opt to stay in the car and wait for me.

Thrifting has become a big part of my Twist business. I have two shop spaces here in Arizona and I’m always looking for fun finds to add.

I’m going to share with you on a regular basis some of the fun finds I come across and what I plan to do with them.

Hope you enjoy!

Junking Saturday!

· Shopping Finds

I headed out to my favorite thrift stores this weekend and really got lucky! Funny how sometimes I find a ton and other trips a big zero. I have a new booth at 3 Vintage Chicks here in Phoenix and I’m having a blast buying goods for my new space. There is something so relaxing for me to roam a thrift store, I’m a natural born junker. Let me show you my finds!

Brass candlesticks are back in style! I found a pair and a single, but they look great as a trio! I paid $3.99 for the taller two … Read more

My Second Hand Home

· Shopping Finds

I was thinking the other day how my home is like a museum of all of my favorite belongings. Isn’t it amazing that there are no two homes decorated alike? Each one has the personality of the dweller. I just love this! My home is jam packed with hand me downs, either from my Mom or my sister (interior designer so this stuff is good!!) or things I’ve bought at garage sales and thrift shops. I’m a scavenger, if you don’t know that already about me. A good deal will make my entire day. Maybe two days.

So, I’m going … Read more
