Oh by the way, remember when I said that we were going to move? Well we've decided to stay here for a little longer. There was just something unsettling about the landlords that we couldn't put our finger on. Anyways back to what I was saying, I bought a few cheep cans of spray paint and went through our store room and found some old mirrors that had been broken (probably by my honey moving things around, but sssshhhhh we won't tell him I know) and some old frames that I didn't want because they were just awful to look at and I started painting.
Our living room up until this point has been pretty boring considering we have brown micro-suede couches and a black entertainment center, so I thought we needed some color. Awhile back I found some beautiful material at an estate sale (we're talking almost 4 yards) for about .50 and it's just been sitting in the closet waiting for the perfect project. It has beautiful shades of red, turquoise, green and yellow so I decided that I was going to use it as my inspiration. I didn't want to overdue the color so I just used it in different places to add a pop to the living room and make it more comfy!!!
This photo shows it in use with our keys hanging for the hook and the cute little turquoise owl perched on top!! So pretty right?? |
This C I actually made a while back, but I never knew where I wanted it to hang. It's the perfect match for our newly decorated wall!!! |
I also made these pillows for our couch, I plan to make more but I ran out of polyfil so they will have to go on my to-do list. |
This is the fabric drawer (box) to hold all of our movies and xbox games. Out of sight, out of mind. Right? I got so tired of seeing all those movies and games they are not so pretty to look at. |
Happy Crafting!!!
Nothing like sitting back and enjoying your handiwork in your own home....makes it so much easier to relax and feel comforted when you're there :)
