DIY Holiday Decor

The holidays are fast approaching and the time to decorate is now! It may be hard to find decorations this late in the game, so try your hand at some of these cute DIY decorations!

Christmas: Salt Dough Christmas Ornaments

If you’re on the hunt for some cute holiday decor to celebrate Christmas, take a look at these salt dough ornaments! The great thing about these is that they look as great in the kitchen as they do on a tree. You can create a garland out of your creations, hang them on hooks, or push pin them to the wall. You could even make an adorable mobile! All you need for these ornaments is flour, salt, and warm water. Mix them together to form the dough, shape them by hand or with cookie cutters, punch a hole so you can hang them, and bake them in your oven. When they’re done, you can add some festive ribbon hangers, paint them, or glue on some candy (similar to a gingerbread house.) For a more rustic look, leave the “cookies” unpainted so they always look fresh out of the oven! Find the recipe and some super cute ideas here: https://bsyl.ink/SaltDoughOrnaments . You can store your new holiday decorations to hang up again next year. They may break if you aren’t careful, but that just means more “baking” fun next Christmas!

 

Hannukah: Paper Dreidel Garland 

This DIY garland is absolutely adorable. With the easy-to-follow pattern from bhg.com makes it easier than ever to whip out this DIY holiday decoration. The fun part about these dreidels is that you can make them in any color you’d like! Stick to traditional Hannukah colors of silver, blue, gold, and white, or change it up with some fun reds, pastels, greens, or glitters! If you’re feeling extra crafty, you can paint on Hebrew letters. These DIY decorations are sure to be a family favorite! You can save them for use next year, add to them, or opt to start fresh for an annual holiday crafting party. While these garlands look fantastic draped over the fireplace mantle, these can also be put up in your kitchen or any room you spend time in. Some suggested places include the wall space between your countertops and wall cabinets, the edge of an island, any empty wall space, or along a window. Be sure to avoid hanging your holiday decor anywhere near heat or flame such as over the stove or near candles.

Have you ever thought about what type of material would make the best kitchen countertop? Well, you're in luck. Today, we're diving into a fantastic option for your kitchen - porcelain counters. When it comes to kitchen countertop options, porcelain stands out as a strong contender that radiates style. And who better to help you understand all about porcelain than Planet Stone, the experts in everything related to countertops? Serving Los Angeles homes and businesses since 2005, Planet Stone has become synonymous with quality and style. Our range of granite, quartz, and porcelain countertops can cater to any preference or budget. An In-depth Look at Porcelain Let's start by taking a closer look at our star material today - porcelain. It was developed centuries ago by our creative ancestors looking for ways to create beautiful, durable chinaware for daily use. Porcelain is an incredibly dense type of ceramic made from clays, feldspar, and other minerals fused at high temperatures up to 1400°C. The result is a non-porous, stain-resistant, and remarkably sturdy substance perfect for kitchen use. While porcelain has been valued for centuries in art and dishware, it's only in recent years that manufacturers have optimized it as a smooth and hygienic countertop surface. Benefits of Choosing Porcelain Counters So why is porcelain now considered among the best kitchen countertop options for contemporary homes? Let's explore the more specific benefits. Boosting Kitchen Efficiency Cooking dinner or baking cookies often gets messy, which is why having an easy-to-clean countertop is every cook's wish. Porcelain delivers on this big time! Its smooth surface and non-porous nature make it super easy to clean. Say goodbye to scrubbing hard, resistant stains off your counters! Durability Another thing that sets porcelain countertops apart from other kitchen countertop options is their sturdiness. Got hot pans? No problem! Porcelain doesn't chip or crack under heat. The same applies to sharp knives, too, as porcelain is highly scratch-resistant! Cost-effectiveness While porcelain counters may have a higher upfront price tag than options like laminate, they pay off in the long run. Their durability saves you money by avoiding costly repairs or replacements down the road. With a life span of 20+ years with proper care, porcelain counters end up being more wallet-friendly than choices prone to damage. Hygiene Porcelain's non-porous nature resists bacteria growth and keeps your counters exceptionally hygienic. No need to worry about grime or germs building up over time. Porcelain surfaces also maintain their smooth and pristine finish. Prep your salads, meats, and other ingredients with total peace of mind and confidence in the cleanliness of your kitchen. Aesthetic Appeal When we visualize dream kitchens—we see soothing colors merged seamlessly with efficient spaces. From retro diner-chic to ultra-modern luxury, it adapts to any kitchen aesthetic. Rich vivid colors, realistic natural patterns, a sleek glass-like finish - the options are limitless. With custom edges and built-in accents, you can create a unique porcelain countertop style that will surely wow guests. Customization is a significant benefit, allowing you to maximize every inch of space in your kitchen for an efficient and eye-catching result. Is a Porcelain Kitchen Right for You? The verdict is clear - porcelain counters are a cutting-edge option that delivers on all fronts. Planet Stone's custom-made offerings in porcelain bring a world of opportunities to amp up aesthetics in your favorite cooking space. Contact us to explore your porcelain countertop options today!
