Haven Conference incorporates just the right balance of DIY projects and business sessions. When our sponsors say they would like to add a DIY project, hands-on session to their sponsorship package – HAVEN says “yippie” – Take a look here to see how our HAVEN mavens had some real tool time with our generous sponsors.

“I loved the make and take events because I made decor that I could bring home and got to learn about new products.” – HAVENmaven

Katie Bower of Bower Power and Rachel Pereira of Shades of Blue Interiors hosted the RustOleum session. They shared Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain and the metallic line of RustOleum spray paints.

Attendees chose their scroll cut word or phrase to glue onto their stained planks – Y’all! This project had to fit into our time frame….Look at what they created with RustOleum’s newest fast drying paint line.

Clever – Head over to Rachel’s post on her blog here, to see how you too can decorate a sign with RustOleum’s fast drying products.

 

Ryobi Chopped – An energetic competition hosted by Ryobi. The attendees were split into 3 groups lead by Jen Woodhouse, Jamison Rantz, Rogue Engineer, and Shanty 2 Chic sisters, Whitney and Ashley. Please see the experience write up for four of our HAVENmavens, here…

Need a HAND?  Quikrete and Ben Uyeda of Homemade Modern taught tips and tricks during this hands “in” session during the Haven Conference. Guests dug in a had a blast creating this whimsical addition to any room. 

How fun is this project? If you made a Quikrete Helping Hand, please tag us with @HAVENConference and @Quikrete on FB or IG with your hand and how you incorporated your artwork into your decor.

Amy Howard at Home brings us the BEST make and takes, no surprise there. Amy Howard has to be one of the most moving women we have met.  They chalk painted barnwood and stenciled a sign using products from her newest concept – A Maker’s Studio (launched at the HAVEN Conference 2018! – can you tell we are honored ;)). 

Detailing with Dremel, Gorilla Glue and hosted by Jen of Build-Basic was good fun – check out all of the inspiration over here 

Office Organizer? YES please – JOANN brought to Haven, the best office organizer for creatives – A Pin Board.

The HAVENmavens had so much creativity going – look at the finished products. We like the pineapple fabric, representing hospitality.

HomeRight – How adorable are Katie Cleveland of Addicted 2 DIY and Cory Decker of Sawdust 2 Stitches? They hosted the HomeRight Hands on Session, spraying in their spray tent.

See what they did at Haven Conference 2017 – here.

SEE! Our sponsors know what the HAVENmavens want to try and do – Celebrating that DIY spirit is our favorite thing to see…
