I’ve always been in touch with my artsy side (if you guys haven't already noticed) and I credit that to my grandfather. If you asked him, he was an artist with a day job and if you were to ask anyone else, he was a traveling salesman that had a painting hobby he just happened to be good at. Either way, all of my memories from visiting my grandparents as a child involved my grandfather's at-home “art studio”.

Confession: I may or may not have a slight (okay, okay… a major) addiction to stackable rings. Every time I go into a store I beeline right to the accessories and jewelry section – it's like instant tunnel vision takes over. I like to think of it as a gift, but my fiancé will argue otherwise. #sorrynotsorry #iwasbornthisway
Anyways, since I don’t really have a long-term living situation (we move often due to my fiancé's job) figured out yet it’s been really hard for me to justify spending a ton of money on the vanity or jewelry organizer of my dreams – because let's be honest, you can’t just pick those things up and move around with them (well, I guess you couldbut…too much work).
Each time I move, I always find myself coming up with every excuse under the sun to make a few trips to the closest Michaels or Home Goods store to search for a few things that will make my new living space feel a little less unfamiliar and a little more like a “home” (what’s a home anyway?! #gypsyprobz). As I’m sure most of you know, Home Goods is hit or miss and sometimes I just don’t have the energy to battle the masses and dig through piles of misplaced and unorganized trinkets just to find a chipped or less than ideal dish for my rings that I’ll be forced to throw out in a few months when I inevitably move, again.
So what’s a girl to do?! Well it just so happens that I LOVE a good DIY project so I put my creative hat on and got to werk. Whenever I need a good dose of inspiration I do two things: #1) go on Pinterest, duh and #2) head to the nearest craft store to wander the aisles. After a quick 30 minutes (a personal record, btw – I could spend HOURS) I left the store with a bag full of oven-bake clay, a gold-leaf paint pen, some glaze and a mission to create something amazing.
P.s You’ll have to excuse me for tooting my own horn here but I pretty much dominated this DIY so I’m spreading the crafty love and showing you how you can #nailit too! And BONUS: this entire project took less than 20 minutes! SAY WHAT?!
