INSPIRATION FOR YOUR NEST: UPGRADE YOUR DINNERWARE

I love being able to take simple and inexpensive pieces, put a little creatively into it, and make it into something new and completely unique! For this week's Inspiration for your Nest, I've collected a series of easy DIY dinnerware inspiration for you to get creative with your plain pieces. These ideas make perfect wedding//home-warming gifts. Thrift some plain glassware or white porcelain pieces from your local thrift store and let the creativity begin!

In early December, Jenny and I decided to start an every-other-month "Pinterest Party" get-together for local ladies in the Atlanta area to build community and get crafty. :) Our first project was decorating white porcelain pieces with porcelain paint. They all turned out super cute! I highly recommend using "Pebeo" porcelain paint. You can find it at Michael's and most craft supply stores. (Photo source #3 has great tips on using porcelain paint!)
