DIY – How to protect and whiten your wooden table

DIY - How to protect and whiten your wooden table @ By Wilma

My dining table is something I will never trow away. It was a gift from my parents and I absolutely love this table. I have it now for 3 or 4 years and it already has had three different looks. It was painted grey when I got it. When I moved in with my boyfriend the table didn’t really fit into our home. So we used it as a desk in stead of a dining table. We painted the table white at that point. Now we are in our new home and the table is back in the kitchen. Because I don’t really like paint on top of my table (it stains so easily) I decided to remove all the paint. I love a wooden table that is lived on! We wanted to keep the wood of the table light so we tried store bought stain. It was terrible. Then we tried beeswax. Better, but we’ve got water damage right away. I didn’t want to spent to much money so I decided to try google. I found a perfect recipe for table oil (which I then chainged a little). Plus I defeloped a simple technique to whiten your table.

DIY – Restyled neon flower pot

How to create a pretty restyled flower pot with an on trend neon detail! @ By Wilma

Today I want to share a very simple DIY with you. Thrift stores are full with all kinds of flower pots, so I thought I could restyle one and make it a little more special and personal. I also added a little neon to go with the current neon trend. I love the little plant I bought to go with the pot. I have no idea what the name of this plant is, so if somebody here knows; please tell me! XO Wilma

We just removed all the paint of our table top. We absolutely love the look but we now get water marks very easily. That’s why I decided that we needed new coasters. Pretty coasters! I bought some cheap ones at the dollar store and created these pretty faux leather triangle coasters with them. Aren’t they pretty?

Recipe – Dutch hangop with blackberries and cantuccini biscuits

Recipe - Dutch hangop with blackberries and cantuccini biscuits @ By Wilma

Hangop is a classic, some will say old fashioned, Dutch dessert. Some of my friends never had one of these delicious soft and creamy desserts so I decided to make them my version. My hangop is made with blackberries and cantuccini biscuits. These Italian biscuits taste great with the hangop!
