diy

I found a poem that I stored away from a friend

& wanted to display it on my gallery wall...

I was given this standard wooden frame from my best friend, Catherine. 

Was never sure what I wanted to do with it, figured this was the best opportunity :) 

 I painted the frame with acrylic paint in color: flesh

& hot glued gold ribbon on the edge to add a little bit of flair.

When the paint on the frame was drying I decided to paint the border of the glass gold, to give it an antique feel.

I love the way it turned out!

& I absolutely love what it adds to my wall!

Below is another diy that I did last night. 

We had some plastic candleholders just sitting on the kitchen counter. 

I really liked the design of them just not the icky beige color. 

I spruced them up with a layer of acrylic paint in Emerald

& then an antique finish in gold. 

I've really been digging metallic accents in everything I create. 

Adds a bit of vintage elegance, don't ya think?

Have you been creating anything lately?

What's your take on metallic?

Springing it up

I've been really in the mood for change lately & what better than my bedroom!

Spring is around the corner, so I thought I would bring a bit of sunshine into my room:

I got this tangerine throw from JCPenny.

Fell in love. 

Ten dollars well-spent, inspired me to add a little spring-like contrast to my ever-present teal.

I really love the warmth it brings in.

I added fiery sticks to my vase to mimic the warmth in the throw.

"Fear not, only believe"

I chose to put this at the head of my bed, so I would see it the moment I wake up.

Keep the faith.

My birdcage :) 

I don't know exactly what it is about this little thing, but I adore it. 

It reads peace to me. 

I made this yesterday! 

Stretched burlap, wooden letter, scrap book paper, paint & adhesive

Simple

Cover the face of the wooden letter with a selected piece of scrap book paper, adhere it to the surface & then have fun!

Once dry adhere it to the burlap and allow to dry

Laugh, Love, Live, Lead, Leap, Learn, Let, Light, Listen.

Perfect piece to add to my new gallery wall!

I really love the way this turned out

& 

I am so excited to add more!

What do you think?

Have you been up to any recent room projects?

With love!
