It all comes out in the wash: Part 2

It took a little longer then expected but I finally decorated the laundry room. Here it is!

The flash makes the color of the walls look odd, but here is the view of the room from the hallway.

I found most of the things on this shelf at an antique shop.  I also made another wreath, put old picture frames, and extra towels out to fill the shelf space.

I bought an old picture from Salvation Army.  I took the picture out of the frame.  Then made this with those wedding photo booth pictures you never know what to do with.

Here is another angle.  I am very pleased with the vinyl wall art.  I could see myself doing it again.  It was a very cheep way to decorate the wall, and it was not as cheesy looking as I was afraid it might be. 

Now that the laundry room is complete, I think I will tackle our mudroom area.

Lamp Shade Make Over!

My husband has kindly asked me to stop turning things into chalkboard around the house because I went a little crazy after I bought some chalkboard spray paint. Now he has asked me to stop covering things in burlap. Here is my latest burlap project. I took an old IKEA lamp that I have kept on my desk at school and covered it with scraps of burlap. Its new home is my laundry room.

Old IKEA lamp shade.

I covered it with burlap.

I glued A LOT of burlap scraps.

FINISHED!

The lamp's new home

Wreath Making

I started working on this burlap wreath this past weekend.  I just finished it and I am pretty pleased!  Here is how I did it.  It was very easy!

My materials:

The first thing you do is poke a hole.

Then you add glue.

Twist a square of burlap onto the screwdriver and plug it into the hole.

Half finished!

Finished!

I decided to put it on my fireplace!  I love it!

Birthday Presents!

Last weekend was my birthday.  I received some fun gifts for our home.  I thought I would share them!

One of my best friends made me this below.  We put it in our entryway.  I love it!

My parents gave me these pillows for our couches in the living room.  They have roosters on them, which I find to be unique and fun.  They put a little more color to the room, without going overboard.  The solid colored pillows are from Stein Mart.  They look like the Pottery Barn ones, but are 1/4 of the price!
