freezer paper stencil tutorial – baby gift

January 12, 2012 9 Comments

I'm going to start this post off with an apology for my photos. I've been playing with freezer paper stencils since this weekend as my first project for my Pinterest Resolutions. I actually made quite a few this past weekend but forgot to finish taking pictures of them. I was so excited how they came out, I just wrapped them up and realized after I had gifted them that there were no photos! I made these late last night...as in I'm writing this at 12:15 am. So these two special little … [Read more...]

I don't really do New Year's resolutions but I am making myself do some Pinterest resolutions this year. Yes, Pinterest resolutions. I'm sure most of you can relate.

fabric wreath tutorial

January 3, 2012 20 Comments

Some of my favorite decor pieces from the baby shower I just hosted were the fabric wreaths I made. I love how simple and elegant they came out and I also love the fact that I should be able to repurpose these for other events and holidays coming up. I made one large one for the front door using a 10 inch foam wreath form and two smaller ones for my back door using the 6 inch wreath forms. If you like these, I hope this fabric wreath tutorial will be helpful if you try and make one … [Read more...]

2011 wrap up – most popular posts

December 31, 2011 7 Comments

I'm loving all these year-end wrap ups I'm seeing so I decided to join in on the fun. Yes, I am following a trend but it is a fun trend! Granted, my stats are nothing crazy but it is still nice to see which posts were the most commented on or viewed. It has been an amazing first year of blogging. This is just a hobby for me and I went into it just to keep my close friends and family up to speed on our renovation. It is nice to share the ideas and inspiration with others who enjoy it and don't … [Read more...]

a simple cover up – fabric covered canvas

December 29, 2011 9 Comments

Do you have blank walls you have no idea what to do with? Or maybe like us, you have something you want to cover up quickly and cheaply? This is such an easy project and I'm really happy with how it came out. Looks like a nice print or painting, right? It is a fabric covered canvas. All that was needed was a canvas in the desired size, enough fabric to cover it with a few inches to spare on each side and a staple gun. This is the view of our family room towards the main part of the house. … [Read more...]
