Decorating Ideas via Pinterest

I have a wall in my kitchen just about this side that I am seriously considering doing this on.  What do you think?

 

I have the board and the star fish to make this for my bathroom... I just need to do it.

I started to make this before the move.  I have the canvas painted with the branches.  I just need to add the flowers.

I am definitely doing a plate wall. I have a small wall space to the right of our sliding glass doors in the dining room.  It's going there.  I have picked up I think 8 plates or so already.  I need to buy the hangers.

I am not sure what quote I am going to use, but I definitely think this project is in my near future.

DIY - Bathroom Decor

I decided to do a beachy/ocean/nautical themed bathroom in our new house.  Our new bathroom has a lot of wall space.  I set out to create a 3 piece set of art for the bathroom.  I am so happy with how they turned out.

 I used Picnik to create my prints.  I saved them as JPEG files.  Then I uploaded them to CVS and ordered 5x7 prints (which were less than $1).  I got the frames for $1.99 each at this great little shop near our new house called Christmas Tree Shops. I love this store... I have picked up lots of fun items here...and it isn't what it sounds like... I only saw 1 aisle of Christmas stuff.

I traced around the frames on leftover packing paper, cut them out, and taped them up on the wall to make sure I had them spaced out how I wanted them.  Then I put the nail in the wall with the paper up and then removed the paper.  I will definitely be using this technique (which I saw on Pinterest) to hang the rest of our frames.

The set of these three prints are available for digital download in my etsy shop... if you are interested.  Use code "BLOG1" to save 15% off your first purchase.

Then you can print them out at your local drug store, Target, Costco, etc... and frame them. 

Contact me through etsy if you are interested in different colors or different sea creatures... I can do custom prints for you.

Dr. Seuss Bathroom ~ Printables

My sister re-did her kids' bathroom using the Pottery Barn Kid's Dr. Seuss shower curtain.  She asked me to make some prints for her to hang in the bathroom.  This is the shower curtain -

I cannot wait to see them framed and hung up in Owen and Olivia's bathroom.  I made them as 8x10 prints. I used Dr. Seuss quotes and come fun coordinating clip art.  I made her about 10 to choose from. 

Here are a few I came up with -

Living Room REDO

We are moving this summer.  I have decided since we have to move I am going to redo my living room.  Here is what we are working with.  We have this dark sand colored sectional from Lazy Boy. 

Currently we have burgandy panels on the windows.  We have these two fabrics on the couch in the form of pillows.  Originally I picked this fabric out because the patterned one had a monkey on it.  When the seamstress made the pillows...she cut out the monkey.   I was devestated.  I didn't specify KEEP THE MONKEYS...so I kept the pillows and have used them ever since.  Monkeys or not...they go well with the sectional.

Recently I stumbled across these fabrics.  They are made by Robert Kaufman and the design name is Metro Living.  I love them.  I am thinking of ordering all four fabrics and using the colors from them in the new living room (of the house we haven't even found yet...sigh).  I am going to have new pillows made as well.  I am going to focus on the yellow, green, and orange colors and use the black for the cording around the pillows.  What do you think?
