dIY Cardigans

Hey friends... I know I have not posted for awhile. I just haven't been crafting. I blame it on the season... but now that the sun is out more I feel my energy level pepping up, so hopefully I will be posting my own crafts soon. But until then here are a few cardigan embellishments that love so fun...

Quilting Hoop Displays

I love quilting hoop displays... I'll be honest, I have one myself, but it is kind of a flop. I did all white lacey fabrics in the hoops on a tan wall, and the wall is pretty large and my grouping looks too small. I'll have to try again with funner fabrics on a different wall I think... and maybe it can look as good as these photos...

One Sleepless Night

Last night i couldn't sleep... because of this I think it will lead to many more long nights. I spent my time looking at amazing projects... so now I have been inspired to do about 30 new projects. Check them out...

These three pieces of furniture are made from old doors and windows... of which I have an abundance of! I really want to do the red shelf project... but make two and paint them white. They are from http://www.myrepurposedlife.net/


I am thinking of doing this project for my bedroom.



I love love love this mirror... its made with paint stirring sticks. The wall stencils and the mirror are from http://www.centsationalgirl.com/


I have been struggling with what to to with Max's room... and then I saw this birch forest from http://prissthis.blogspot.com/

Nursery Inspiration






I have just spent the past hour looking through this website I found called project nursery. It is a website were people can make a profile and then post their nursery photos. It's a great place to get inspiration for nursery ideas. Above are a few of my favorites. I really like the color combination of soft blues, yellows and a little bit of red or pink. I might do something like for my little one.

The UnKnown Room

I have never had a porch before... it's an unknown space to me, but I am excited to figure out the function of this space. Right now our porch is being used for construction storage but in the future the main purpose of the space will be a sitting place for us to watch the passer-byers and a space for guests to use, to put on their shoes and such.
I have a few inspiration photos below.

Country Living
How these photos have inspired my porch plans:
1. use of greenery
2. wicker or bamboo furniture
3. use of fabrics
4. fun rug
5. a rustic feel

I want the whole world

I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it all up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me
Now!

This song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is stuck in my head right now... and its so fitting. I have been in such a money spending-purchase everything mood. Here are my latest four wants:

1. This throw from Anthropologie. I want this one bad... it's on sale for 50$ (regularly 230$). I had my credit card out ready to buy but then shipping and taxes was over 30$... so I am still thinking about it. Plus my grandma is over right now and she says she will teach me how to make crochet flowers.2. Trunk. I was thinking of using if for an end table.
3. Typewritter. When I showed my husband this picture and said I wanted to buy it... he laughed and said "you just really want to buy somthing, eh." I think it would be a very neat decoration.
4. This desk. My plan would be to stain it dark brown... maybe black, and then put wallpaper on the back board of the hutch. It is from kijiji for 60$... which is cheaper then the typewriter.
All of these items are wanted for the same space. I have this vision for one of our spare rooms. I am thinking white walls, with lots of color and wood and textures... and just eclectic items. (Hence the typewriter) This is one of my inspiration photos (It's in this past issue of Style at Home):

Whitewashed and Wonderful!

I love white bathrooms! Our master bath will have three windows making it very open, bright and airy. The color white will just add to this feeling. Here are a few of my favorite white bathrooms:
