Coordinate with Paint

I added this piece in our Sunroom (just not on the main

wall) and wanted to  have it flow with the room, 

so a bit of frog painter tape,

a touch of GOLD spray paint and tadaaa...

An easy way to update a piece of art or make

it coordinate with the tone of your room.

I actually like it better now!

DIY - Just Spray Paint It

Paint it....black GOLD!!!

If you happened upon my sunroom wall post, 

then you know I went a little crazy with the spray paint.

Step away from the can...haha

The reason the wall took me all day,

was because I tweaked a few things here and there

as I was hanging and just so happened to have one

can of spray paint in the house... Thanks to an

impulsive buy at the craft store and because I

give away all of our paint before we moved

this past summer, boo...

'Stuff'

The birdcage was fine but looked a little dull, so it

got a new facelift and now sits center stage ready

to clip some Instagram photos to it. Orange wasn't

happening in the room but I love the frame, so of 

course...gold but I'll probably end of repainting it 

black. I even got down and dirty with the screws

for the birdcage since they are visible. I think I

might be painting a few of my hubby's tools next!

'LOVE'

This little nugget was tucked away for a rainy day,

with plans to make a Shhh, don't ring, sign...but as

you can see, nada wholada going on with it. It was

however the perfect size and color for 'the wall', so

I dusted off the Cricut and made a very sketchy

stencil. I taped one letter outline down at a time,

using a bit of snail adhesive for the inside little bits

and sprayed. The paint dried fast, so I was able

to move onto the additional letters quickly. By the 

time I got to the 'e', I was pretty darn proud of

myself and will be trying my hand at more of this

in the future but maybe with proper tools.

Easy DIY Kids Art Display

Looking for a way to hang all of the beautiful art work your kids bring home from 

Church, School or home projects? If you have an empty door, you have 

the perfect spot without clogging up your kitchen refrigerator with magnets. 

This closet, I actually converted into our art cupboard by hanging a shoe

organizer on the inside of the door and having my hubby build a few shelves in 

place of where coats would hang. 

I took a spool of hemp twine and just tied sections around the door, knotting

on the inside of the door. The word ART was cut out of stiff felt, so no rolling 

of the corners as it hangs in place. My kids clipped mini clothes pins on the

twine and then we hung a few pieces of their artwork. 

An easy project and now their art won't fall off the refrigerator

 door everytime it opens!

How do you display your kids masterpieces at home?

Front Entryway is Finished

So I obviously meant to write up this post in the Spring...but 

sort of got sidetracked (hmmm, not sure why, haha)

I've been collecting items to hang in our front entryway for awhile now

and finally felt like I had everything to complete the look I was going for.

So, after piecing everything together on the living room floor, 

I found the right mix and called on

the hubs to hang everything for me.

What do you think? Fun and cheerful, eh?!

I LOVE it!

The prints and birdcage, I bought off Zulily, I really need a 

frequent buyer card for that site, danger zone, if you catch my drift!

The yellow and turquoise medallions, mirrors, cross, chevron frame, 

shadow box and two smaller frames are from Hobby Lobby.

The large frame and pillows are from Target.
