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.

Fall in LOVE with Decorating

Swung by Wally World today to snag a few of my favorite

glass jars (yup, I just said Wally World) and to my surprise, 

I found a few other fun items, to get me in the mood to pull

out the dreaded but fun orange topped tubs from storage...

Two pieces of black 'creepy' gauze, One large glass jar, One 

black large pumpkin, A sparkly BEWARE sign, A large black owl

and A roll of black sparkly tulle were the only purchases. 

The rest was tucked away, nothing got broken in the move, woohoo!!

I didn't realize my hubby had a fear of rats until last year,

when his co workers would leave them in unsuspecting places

and he'd end up chucking them back at them...haha

...let's see if he can find the two in our house! 

A little bit creepy, a little bit dreamy...

and a lot of fun, don't you think?

Sunroom Wall Decor

Every room in our home is starting to feel a bit more complete. 

Yesterday, I finished this wall in our sunroom/mudroom

and love gazing at all the fun pieces.

I used a can of gold spray paint to make a few items 

fit the color scheme I was working towards and...

ta daa

Do you have a wall that is looking for a change? 

Try grouping 'like' items together and lay everything

out on the floor, moving things around until you like

the arrangement, then grab a hammer. Happy Hanging!

An afternoon coffee is always a welcome treat

after a productive day!

LeroyLime Craft Room Reveal

 The BIG craft room reveal is finally here!!! 

I'm happy to say, the shop is now open again and off of vacation mode.

Moving is a far cry from vacation and it feels oh so wonderful to 

call a place home again...

without further ado, please excuse the photo overload

and enjoy my new crafty space!

My old desk, along the back wall. My handy hubby cut the

top down to fit the space and sanded off the dings and marks

from moving...I love the new vintage look of the corners and 

decided to not repaint it.

 The new desk is simple, huge and pretty much

pure awesomeness!! 5 X 5' top with two IKEA shelving

units as the legs and lots of storage, yipee!!

The punch board made it through the move and was

screwed directly into the studs...this bad boy is heavy 

without the punches on there but makes great use

of wall space. I picked up a few new buckets from IKEA

since we live near one again.

I bought these almost 9 years ago (my first Etsy purchase)

and they've been amazing for my ink pads. Keeps them all

accessible and in view so I can easily snag the color or colors

I'm working with at the time.

I love these little bars and picked up a few with the intent

of possibly using them in the space but not sure where or

what for. Once the ink pad holders were up, I needed

something to fill the space between them and voila!

The perfect place for scissors, adhesive and other items

I use on a daily basis.

These old DVD holders from IKEA have been my 

go to for stamp sets...if there's any advice I can give

about organizing a craft room, 

UTILIZE YOUR WALL SPACE!!

It's a must, products actually get used since

they are in plain sight and aren't stashed away,

clearly forgotten in a bin or box.

Filing cabinets for all of my 8-1/2 X 11" Cardstock

Clear glass jars for visible and cute storage!

I've had one bookcase for years BUT picked up

a second to even out my space. No worries, I had

plenty to put on the shelves! haha

If you use glitter or embossing powder, this is THE 

BEST way to store it. I keep a plastic spoon in each 

container and sprinkle on what is needed directly

over the container with all the extra falling back

inside. Pop the top back on and no mess to clean up!

A skinny IKEA shelf for my 12X12" Cardstock

A small spot between the windows was perfect

for this little shelving unit. My hubby just had to 

lop off a bit from the top molding so it would fit

and he aged it up with the sander.

A bright photo without my chair. I LOVE 

all the natural light that pours in.

What's your favorite part??

 If you need me, this is where I'll be planting my 

backside...off to get some paper cuts, my friends!

Craft Room

We've had formal dining rooms before and find that

with small children, we don't use them as often as a kitchen

nook or counter space...so, meet my new 

LeroyLime Dining Room Craft Room!!

Our entire house was painted a cream/off white/beige

color...blah, right?? We chose Perspective CSP5, a

light and dreamy shade of grey.

and now for the organizing...hanging and tackling

the remainder of my craft boxes.

Stay tuned for the end result!

Laundry Room

A new house...not a rental, 

not base housing, 

just means one thing...

time to make it ours!!

We started in the laundry room closet and added a yummy

half cedar wall, stained Driftwood, which came out a light

grey. I love the grain of the wood and knots 

showing through the stain. Perfectly imperfect!

Here's the wood, cut to size, laid out on our driveway

BEFORE

and AFTER

 Who doesn't love their very own handy man?!! 

 We owned the drawer pedestals, which worked great 

in our last four homes BUT since we don't have a room

and rather a closet this time, no place for dirty laundry, so...

a DIY pedestal, that three laundry baskets fit perfectly!

There was quite a bit of unused space in the closet with 

the funny cutout to the left of the washer, so the hubs

installed two shelves, perfect for storing laundry room

odds and ends.

A bit of yellow paint, which is also going in the 

baby room, brightened up the space even more. 

We love it so much, we just might take the doors off

since they don't really drown out noise...slats and all, ahem.

What's your favorite part of our new laundry space?

Have you updated your laundry room recently, 

add your link below, I'd love to check it out!
