People are sharing this sign idea like crazy, and she only just posted it!

I have always been a big fan of bright colors. And glitter. So this holiday season, I decided to combine these loves into a fun Christmas sign!
It's a little non-traditional but still very festive and cheery! The 'Jingle Bells' lyrics have never looked so fun!

I first sanded and spray painted a wood board with some white paint. This way the letters would really POP. Then I cut out the black words in vinyl and the other letters in some double-sided adhesive with my cutting machine. Then those each got a coating of some colorful fine glitter.

Vintage Shutter Magazine Rack

This shutter comes to me from my good friend and neighbor Anita who is sadly moving. She had a couple shutters and 2 old cabinet doors displayed on her walls for years but her new house is lacking in wall space. She thought maybe I could put them to good use. Gladly.But now I find out that the shutters were taken off her family home years ago…they have sentimental value and they have a cool aged patina. I can’t keep her family heirloom but I could repurpose it and give it to her oldest son who just happens to be getting married. And just in case they don’t like heirlooms or shabby chic, I’m giving cash too :).

Who Doesn't Like a Tree in the Shower?

The trends for bathrooms it seems, is that they keep getting larger and larger with huge walk in showers, steam rooms and even spa lap tubs. Gone are the large whirlpool tubs that take forever to fill up, they cool off quickly and in most cases, hard to get into safely. In comes the large walk in showers....walk in, as in no door, just walk in to one end with usually 2 or more shower heads, body sprays, benches, niches and even full length windows.

Antique Mirror With An Acid Technique That Also Has A Love Story...

I had the vision of putting photos of my husband and I from our wedding. We've been married 24 yrs next month. Married at the rip age of 17 and 19 yrs old. Our road hasn't been easy (who's is?) and we have danced through many minefields over our lifetime. Which brings me to the lyrics on the mirror. Lyrics from our song, "Dancing in the Minefields" by Andrew Peterson. It's the most beautiful song that describes our ups and downs over the last 24 yrs. No matter what life threw at us, we clung to the promise of forgiveness, grace and unconditional love.
Sooooo now that you understand my heart behind this piece...lets get to the fun part!
It's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. The hand carved details are just gorgeous.

How to Paint an Old Carpet

Sometimes, you just have to go with a crazy idea and see how it works out! I have had this wool dhurrie in my kids' playroom for 4 years, and for 4 years, it's been bothering me. We got it as a gift to sweeten the deal on another rug that we bought in Rajasthan a few years ago - but the colours have faded and the olive, brick and mustard really didn't go anywhere in my house. So I took the plunge and decided to update it. Let me show you how to paint an old carpet!

When is a Pegboard Not an OBVIOUS Pegboard? When You Add Burlap!

I have been wanting to add a pegboard to my laundry room for a while. I have painted pegboards and stenciled them but wanted to try something different. Since I had a large amount of burlap, I thought I would give it a try. It is funny but none of the pictures seem to show the true color blue that this project turned out. The laundry room doesn't have any windows and doesn't get any natural light. It must be because I have to use the overhead light when I take a picture that it looks the way it does. In reality, it is a very pretty dark blue that almost looks like denim. There is one picture below that I think shows the color accurately. It is the one where one jar has been added and I am in the process of adding the second jar.
