Chairs

I picked up a wooden chair with a broken leg from outside the dumpster. I cloroxed the heck out of it, and then painted it in bright colors, put some ribbon on the seat, and viola! new chair for the baby room or outside on our patio :)

Lyrical Posters

My roommate brought me two posters home from his work. I painted them white and wrote song lyrics on them, all in different colors. cant wait until the next season and i can get my hands on some more!!!!

Cabinets

I hate my white cabinets. And since i took them off of my hutch, i didnt have a need for them. Creativity time! I put decorated construction paper from my awesome spree at michaels, and i decopauged them onto the cabinets. in the middle of two i wrote quotes and the outside of the other two. beautiful art!!!

Wine Wall!

I have a calendar of wine that i bought a while back. the dates are from the wrong year but the pictures are wonderful. going with my italian theme in my kitchen and dining room, i framed the pictures in black frames and lined them three across and four down. easy, cheap,and really beautiful :)

China Hutch - Redo

Remember my china hutch that i painted blue and made all pretty? well, i took all the doors off, added some organizational boxes, and made it even better!

Boxes

Michaels had the most AMAZING SALE EVER this week, and among other things, 5 for $7 memory boxes. So i bought five. and then i bought five more. and then my roommate bought five. :) haha! four of which were plain, white, and boring. I used my painters tape, again :) and taped off perfect lines on the lids of the boxes, and then painted them all different colors. Yellow, Pink, Green, Blue. when they were finished i put them in the top of my dresser, another post, and the pastels worked lovely. :) so if you find old sshoeboxes or photoboxes, dont discard! you can make them beautiful again! i think ill decopauge the last one! :)

Living Room Walls

I hate white walls! and cream walls! anything boring and what everyone else has. So i decided to change it. I put up stripes on my living room wall above the fireplace. I painted every other space white, and then laid on a second coat. I then peeled off the tape and painted brown inside, a cafe mocha type brown. the brown stripes are larger than the white because of the placement of the tape, done on purpose, but one can choose to do them evenly. with all the white in the room i wanted a lot of brown. the is tile on the wall around the fireplace, a full tile and about a 1/4th tile on the outside. there is black metal around the fireplace before the tile, so i painted the tiles black as well. It looks amazing! Next to do on this wall is a mantle i have been working on building, but youll have to wait for the next wall posting to see it!

Chevron Painting

This is for my roommates room, he loves orange, green... bright colors. 

I took a canvas and taped off the chevron pattern with painting tape.

This is the pattern: Black, White, Black White Black, Orange, Black, White, Black, White, Black.

The sections not holding tape were painted black, then i removed the tape, painted the middle peice orange, and filled in the rest with white paint. 

it turned out amazing!
