Over the Bed Wall Decor

I've just gotten the wall over our bed the way that I want it. So I thought I'd share it!

Here it is!

I used my Cricut to cut out the vinyl letters... and used a painting I already had plus...

a canvas that I used hot glue to make the pattern and painted over in one color, and finally...

a picture on wood that I found at Goodwill and recovered!

Now that I got it closer to the way I wanted we get to move in a couple months and I get to redo a whole new apartment!

Pretty excited about getting to decorate the new space and find some fun ways to save space! It's gonna be a tight fit folks!

Anyway have a lovely Tuesday everybody and be inspired to transform your own spaces!

XOXO,

DIY Mail Center

Finished product

I was thrifting at Goodwill the other day and came across this...

Most people would see a banged up piece of particle board nailed together in a funny way...I saw MAIL CENTER.

I decided to tear it down using a hammer and just keep the skeleton. I painted it black with two coats of craft paint.

Then I cut out a piece of scrapbook paper (I just love polka dots, don't you?!) and double sided taped it to the inside.

Then I decided to paint MAIL on the top in an antique way. (I sketched out the letters first with pencil and kinda traced them with paint. Even using those sticker letters would be cute!

After that I decided that instead of using the wood I had salvaged from the inside of the piece (which would have looked cool too) I would attach coordinating ribbon with a hot glue gun from one side to the other.

And voila... Our new mail center that looks cute and original.  Only cost me $1 (it was 1/2 off) + stuff I already had.

Hope you like it! We sure do! It keeps our ingoing and outgoing mail off the counter and we hubs always knows where to put/look for the mail now! Yay organization!!!

XOXO,

My Fall Centerpiece

I couldn't help but put out my Fall decorations last night.  Here is one of them! The all important table centerpiece.

Here are some of the things I try to keep in mind when putting together a centerpiece.

1. Levels- Make sure you have some high, low and middle.
2. Coordinating colors and theme- The mercury glass goes with the rustic look of the pumpkins, silver and details etc.
3. CANDLES- I love candles and always try to incorporate at least one.

There you go! My fall centerpiece!
