Decorating

              

                Decorating has always been a passion and hobby of mine. It always gives me something to do while I'm bored. I always love refinishing things and re-arranging of furniture and photos. I love doing crafty things because it gives me a way to brighten up a room with simple and easy projects. Decorating also gives me a challenge of making my new project better than the last one. That is what makes me succeed at this passion of mine. I am very dedicated to it and I plan on even starting to sell some of the things I do.

              One of my favorite things that I have refinished is a desk that my mom wanted to be a color that matches the guest room. I was up for the challenge. I got the idea of the finish on Pinterest. I fell in love with it! Then we had a bunch of handles from another project. We had to sand the desk so that the paint would stay on. Finally, it was time to paint. The paint went on like a dream. While it dried I decide it needed something else. We were at a garage sale a week before and we found this cute little pitcher. It was perfect for the side of the table. I made a small burlap flower to go inside of the pitcher. Then I put a few pieces of wood next to it. I put the handles back on it and it was all done! I love this desk. And we always get complements on it. I am proud of myself for doing such a good job on this.

                           An outdoor piece that I did last summer was a pallet american flag. I found this idea also on Pintrest. It was perfect for out by our garden shed. We were holding a 4th of July party so I figured this was perfect. We had pallets from when we had our tile put in our house. I went to the shed got it out and put a tarp under it. I had paint from another project I did. I got everything taped and then I started painting. After it finished drying I found a star. We always have Texas stars around our house so I put that on there.

        

                            I recently just recovered a bunch of throw pillows for our guest room. They are so cute! The theme of the room is burlap and chevron. I found a video on Pintrest of a lady who didn't have to do anything to put this all together except for a knot at the middle. I didn't want anything to do sewing the edges of the wrap so this was perfect. All that I had to do was get a pillow that we wanted to change the print of. It was a super easy project and it works with any type of throw pillow. I got my fabric from Michael's. It wasn't expensive at all! Clearly, the smallest items can spice up any room.

                      I want to do this next because it is a cute little coffee nook that you could put in a kitchen. We have a Keurig that would fit perfectly on here and it would hold the little cup spinner. I love when things have the worn out look. It gives it more character and it will go along with the accents in our kitchen. I think I can find a similar stand like this on a buy, sell, trade site. It will take some searching but I'm up for the job. Clearly, I hope to get this one done here in the next month or so.
