A big thank you to all who left such kind comments and emails regarding our new look for an antique bed. Here is Sweet Guy’s new bedding. Most of it came from our linen closet. When talking about what look he wanted for his room he chose this image. I asked him what elements he liked about the space and it was the color gray, the street signs, painted “Beatles” wall and the exposed brick. I told him that since we were moving the wall elements might have to wait until we were settled ... View the Post
A New Look For An Antique Bed
This project has been in the works for awhile. You might recall that back in January I shared Sweet Guy’s travel themed bedroom. I mentioned that he had outgrown the bed with the lovely antique pine headboard and needed something bigger. About the same time the Fashionista returned home as we put the condo that she was living in on the market. So we had no room for the guest room bed I had found a few years ago on Craiglist. It was a lovely frame that had come with a really bad white ... View the Post
A Spring Makeover For Me
I have been SO busy with school that I haven’t been to the hairdresser's since January! I had been cutting my bangs and the front myself. Does anyone else do that? But the back of my hair was horrible, and you can visibly see that it had been quite a while since my hair had met foil. (Yes, I am very blessed that at my age, I only have to highlight my hair. My grandfather Roy still had a head of dark, wavy hair well into his 80s, and I am crossing my fingers!) I was ready for A Spring ... View the Post
The Final Exam
I love bible studies, do you? It's the best prep for The Final Exam. The Final Exam This past week I’ve been doing another type of studying…. for college exams. As always, it’s been a bit of a challenge to be a 45-year-old college student who is also a wife, mother, designer, and blogger. In addition, Mr. Décor is currently in Florida. Math is finished. I still have History of Photography which has NOT been as fun as it sounds. Then there is a two-part level 2 oral French exam. ... View the Post
Updating Thrift Store Art
I’ve been busy transforming free and thrift store art to create a nautical themed gallery wall in my hallway. It’s coming along pretty well and I am in the home stretch. Do you want to see how dated they looked before? Keep reading! Over two years ago I had hit the thrift store jackpot when I came upon an entire cache of vintage French and Italian metal frames for mere pennies. I used a few of the frames on my entry way gallery wall. As well as creating a bit of lampshade ... View the Post
Creating 3 D Seashell Art
I am in the process of creating a gallery wall that will brighten up my very dark hallway. My budget for Creating 3 D Seashell Art is around $10. Creating 3 D Seashell Art I purchased two value packs of 5” x 7” canvases at Michael’s. Using a coupon the canvases were just $1.62 each. ($6.48 for all four.) I had several bottles of acrylic paint leftover from previous projects and picked out various seaside colors to paint each canvas. The secret to painting, whether it be acrylic, ... View the Post
