I know you've seen these types of cloches floating around Pinterest. I love the look and just happened to have a petite lampshade lying around from a past Goodwill visit. I simply removed the fabric cover revealing the vintage-looking wire. No painting, no distressing - nothing more to do! Except add some pretty vintage teacups. I think this would also look lovely with a small bird's nest or on a book stack. So many possibilities! Jeanine...
Truth be told, when I bought this chevron burlap from Walmart last week, I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with it. After unraveling it a bit, I saw it was the perfect size for banner pendants. I broke out some twine, scissors and fabric glue, and got busy. After cutting each pendant, I added some fabric glue to the bottom edges and the tops so they wouldn't be sliding up and...
Sharing some random Frenchy projects that I've finished over the past week. I jazzed the photos up via Instagram, which I believe I am quite possibly obsessed with. If you're on it, you know what I'm talking about! This is that big garage sale basket that I got for $2 a couple of weeks ago. I gave it a few coats of white spray paint and French labels on each basket top. Hard to see...
A few months ago, Debra from Common Ground posted some beautiful numbered wreaths. I believe she used them for some pretty holiday napkins. I saved the image to my computer and finally found a way to use them. These are slightly larger peat pots than what I am used to getting. I picked them up at Walmart last weekend. I started by giving each a coat of white acrylic paint. While the paint was drying,...
While I was at Ikea earlier this week, I grabbed a few of these white picture frames. In a matter of minutes, you can turn them into... Mini, free-standing chalkboard frames. Super cute, right? So perfect for a kitchen counter. I used chalkboard paper for this one - just peel and stick. I have another one drying in the garage that I used chalkboard paint spray on. I like to play around with different textures...
I popped into Ikea yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by their newest candles. Have you seen them? How perfect are these for the 4th of July? Sadly, none with stars but I'm digging the stripes, and they work so well for this quickie centerpiece idea. I'm using a chalkboard painted Dollar Store tray as my base. I used a pretty patriotic image (from The Graphics Fairy) for my candle holders. I printed the image...
