{a simple six dollar upgrade}
I took this piece of furniture and wanted
it to look aged but not cheap.
I then painted it with a light yellowit to look aged but not cheap.
paint that i knew would stain well and
look old. I chose a light yellow over a
bright yellow because i felt it would look
more like a bruised banana than a whethered
piece of furniture ;)
I didn't prime it with anything because i
wanted the yellow to soak up the dark tint
the black would give and in return help even
more with the look i was going for.

slow going
Since it has been rainy and moist outside I havn't been able to finish any projects that require me to paint because the paint wont dry in moisture. ugh! So......I thought I would post up one of my next projects that will be done on the next weeekend that it is not rainy or gloomy out. I still am not quite sure what I am going to do to this yet, but it will be up fpr sale when I am done so be sure to watch for it. :)

fun and simple DIY!
I had 3 of these fabulous frames that I grabbed
them for a steal at $2.20 each at IKEA ;) I should have
grabbed a ton more now that I think about it.
But anyways....

I dug into my scrapbook paper and hopped on to the computer
and made these adorable quotes etc. I then cut, pasted and stuck
them onto.......
the back/front of the matt board that was already in the frames ( it it just the this plyboard stuff).
I was tring to think of how i could get a cheaper more inexpensive
version of matt board "looking" stuff so i didn't have to spend a fortune
on matt board. So......I LOVED the all natural look that the board had and
it looked great with my green, white, and black color scheme so i used what
i had and it didn't cost any extra! Now you gotta love that!
Hung them in the hallway like this..............

Fun Fun Fun and SO easy!
As you can see in the post below these 2 red topiaries are so stink'in adorable! right!? Well if you think so then here is how I made them. I had a foam cone, foam ball, fake dried rasberries (from target), glue sticks and glue gun. The metal pots I also had sitting around the house as well as the moss so I used them and they worked great!
I was inspired by a piece of wood!
