For the Love of...Paint!

Painting and drawing have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. After highschool and starting a family, I lost touch with it; however, I am trying to get back into it.

I just completed a new addition to Kylie's toddler room...what do you think?

If you recall from a previous post, I am doing her room with a pink and black theme. You can't tell from the picture but the quatrefoil center is painted in a metallic silver.

Check out our Etsy page, where I will list a custom order for one of these!

Orlando, Fl

I am in Orlando with my hubby.  He has a meeting here this morning and then tonight we get to celebrate Valentine's Day a little late!  I am so excited to get to wear my new Miss Me jeans!  We are staying at the Courtyard at Lake Lucerne and I recommend this to everyone!  The part that our room is in is called the Wellborn Suites.  It was built in 1940 in the art deco style.  I absolutely love it!  Check it out here http://www.orlandohistoricinn.com/.

Collegiate Country Wine Glasses

These were fun to make.  I don't care for "wine" but I think these would be awesome for some sweet tea!

Repurposed Binder Mechanism

Kaylyn and I salvaged this binder mechanism because I thought that there was surely another use for it.  And so, here is my new belt rack!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. Thanks for stopping by! I must say that we have not been on top of this blog lately, but one of my New Year's resolutions is to actually finish projects that I have around the house.

So I started off with this frame that I purchased from Goodwill. It cost me only $2.42! I loved the intricate details to it. I wasn't crazy about the sailboats. As you can tell, I started painting before I got a 'before' shot.

I used just a black acrylic paint....

Here is the final result! Isn't she a cutie?

 We hope you have a great new year!

Green & Gold Christmas

Hey again! I am on a roll with the wreaths this week..I told someone today that I don't even have a Christmas wreath made for myself!

This particular wreath was made for another auction for the Child Advocacy Center to be auctioned off this weekend. I hope this wreath will earn this organization much needed $$!

I am in love with animal prints and I couldn't believe I came across the green and gold leopard and zebra printed ribbon...so this is what this wreath was built around. Hope you enjoy!
