The picture with the stripes is using material as wallpaper. It was so easy and has stayed put for a long time! To do this I used liquid starch and applied it like you would wallpaper. This material was actually the sheet that came with the comforter

I'm sure you have seen these done as magnets but I tried them as pins and they worked great!!


Just some wall decor in my daughters room. The spiral thing is a clock and it was silver and I spray painted it pink.


The wall hanging above the bed that matches the bed was actually a bag the bedding came in. I cut it up and put it on some canvas and used a staple gun. I made two of these out of the bag!
I wanted some white in the room to add another color and I couldnt find any pictures I was crazy about so I bought the frames and found some cute scrap book paper and put them in the frames with a white matting. My daughter liked this cuz she changes the paper every once in a while for a different look.
This was great doing this -it actually got my daughter to get her room clean!! YEAH!!!


Virtual Home Tour

The first home on our tour is Karen's. Here is a message from her:

Hi girls! I just got these new chairs for my birthday and I am loving them. I fell in love with the green snake skin print pillows. They are in my living room with a special end table between them, given to me by my Grandma Curtis, which was given to her by her mother many years ago. I love sentimental pieces!























It's good to be home" is something my parents always said, and it's the same way I feel. Paul's mom had this hutch built for their first home over 60 years ago. It is an old piece we all treasure.



















Grandma Jones also gave us this old trunk which is a great place to display my favorite baby pictures of my little darlins'!













Thanks Karen!

Now on to Heather's home.
She sent some great photos of her bathroom and some great finds she has refurbished very inexpensively!
This is a fun 10 dollar DI find!!





















Some more BEFORE and AFTERS...





































Heather says, "I have a small bathroom...how do you take pictures of that? So I took pictures of some storage ideas in my cute bathroom!!"















I hate when I run out of toilet paper but where to store it? I love how clean and crisp this looks..and I always know when I am almost out!!














I got this at the thrift store and I love that all my stuff is in sight and in arms reach when I am running late daily!




















I love that all my pretty stuff is right where I can see it!















Thanks Heather!
