Have you ever trolled Pinterest or the web looking for DIY tutorials related to decorating and design? Whatever project you’re looking to tackle, you’re sure to find a great tutorial out there to walk you through the steps.

I recently started saving decorating, decor and how-to tutorials on a Pinterest and thought it would be fun to share some of them with you from time to time. Today I’ve got a round-up of paint related tutorials, from furniture and walls to bathtubs (who knew you could paint a bathtub).

There is so much more to creative design than how the furniture is arranged or what type of artwork you have on the wall.

Creative design comes in all forms…

The next time you are at the thrift store, don’t overlook those old kids chairs. A little diy and you can turn them into stylish dog bowl holders that will feel apart of your décor.
