An easy DIY to update ceramic Christmas houses for a modern Christmas village.

How I transformed a thrifted caned chair and gave it a more coastal vibe using chalk paint in the color Night Owl by Sherwin Williams. I also lightened the caning using Rustoleum 2x Spray Paint in the color Khaki.

I upcycled a pair of vintage wicker shelves with spray paint to dress up my outdoor area! Found the perfect paint color to mimic natural wicker.

Shortly after moving into our house, I found this amazing dresser at a thrift store for $60! It was solid wood and offered the perfect amount of storage we were looking for in a side board behind the couch. Originally, we painted it white, which has served us well (especially while our living room wall was teal), but I was ready for a change.
