This Weeks Projects

Lately I have been consumed with decorating.  When I have this momentum I try to take full advantage because like most busy moms something more pressing is always around the corner.
So this past week I have finally completed some unfinished projects, I tackled projects I have been trying to start & I finally committed to some purchases.  I don’t know about you but I like choices, I woo them, I drag them out, hymn and haw until I make a decision or  move on to something else. 
But this week I actually made progress & I am super excited to share.

Bird Silhouettes

 
 Ikea frames, cheap & pretty when grouped.

 

Picture Frame Re-Do
Before
After
I use craft paper on everything.
I love the color & texture. 
This is a simple decoupage project using Mod Podge, craft paper & raw umber to age the edges. Bring your patience if you tackle this project but stick with it, it comes out beautiful.
It’s a great way to transform picture frames especially if you are like me & have a ton of mismatched ones.
 I absolutely LOVE how this turned out, they look like worn leather & give another layer of texture.
 
  
The Chairs

 After
I had been looking for 1 year for these & finally found them at Home Goods. 
Gotta Love HG!
Silhouettes Of My Boys
  
 I was surprised by how easy this was.  I am going to do a DIY tutorial for this project next week.
Happy Thursday Everyone!

Whale Art: Beach House Inspired

As most of you know I have been busy working on my boys rooms. It seems like these makeovers have taken me months, I have waited so long to do these rooms that I want to do it right. I don’t like to rush design, that is when I make mistakes. Plus, it is way more fun to be deliberate about the things you plan, choose and eventually select. For me the hunt is my idea of a good time, anyone else? So you can imagine my excitement when I found these stunning & playful whale prints below from Minted. Since I was/am going for a modern coastal look in Jack’s room I loved the abstract nature of these watercolor prints. I can just picture these in a beach house that has a rustic, modern aesthetic, can’t you? In any case they are just perfect, so I had to share.

A Teacher Gift Idea That Smells Great + Free Printable

Happy May! Emily here from The Wicker House and I have a cute teacher gift to share with you today. My boys get out of school at the end of the month and I’m blown away because that is just weeks away! Where does the time go? My boys are pretty excited to get started on their summer vacation but they are also a bit sad to have to say goodbye to their teachers. They both have such wonderful teachers and so I have come up with a sweet little gift that they can give to them on the last day of school.
