MY NEW TO ME LIVING ROOM

I chose gray and cream with pops of yellow a bold yellow for my new room.  

I am adding some rusty metals and some chevron in with the mix.  This is totally out of my element, but I think I really am liking it!!

Frames on each side of a window found at Michaels for $1.99 each.  The chevron hangy thing at HL for 50% off.
I need to find something to hang inside the other frame.



I slipcovered my wing chairs.  I found the pillow at TJ Maxx a while ago and knew I would use it.  The metal chicken wire can I got there also.  I am using it as a side table.

PALLET WOOD SIGN ALMOST FINISHED

MY FIRST PALLET BOARD SIGN



I AM GOING TO ADD A WORD IN THE MIDDLE I'M JUST NOT SURE WHAT YET I KNOW I WANT IT TO BE IN YELLOW BECAUSE IT IS IN THE LIVING ROOM.

IT WAS SO EASY I JUST CUT THREE OF THE BOARDS APPROXIMATE SIZE AND THEN ADDED TWO SMALLER BOARDS TO THE BACK, SCREWED THEM IN TO HOLD ALL THE BOARDS TOGETHER.  I THEN STAINED THEM A DARK WALNUT (I'M TRYING TO ADD MORE OF THE RUSTIC DARK WOOD IN WITH MY WHITE SHABBY ITEMS), THEN JUST STENCILED THE CHANDELIERS ON THE FRONT.

I AM MAKING SOME DIFFERENT ONES FOR OUR SALE COMING UP THIS WEEK.  I'LL SHOW PICS NEXT WEEK OF THEM.

More vignettes around the home.

Little vignettes around the house

Yes I am still here.  Sorry life has a way of getting away from me. 
 I thought I would do a few posts on some vignettes around the home I have done for summer. 
 We have remodeled some more, so I intend to post some pics of the new living room and the new pantry :)

Some vintage aqua jars with flowers from my garden.  I just got this basket at a yard sale.



My pantry screen door, I backed it with some burlap that has coffee phrases on it.




  Hope you all have a great week, I will post more later.
