My first project for 2013.  I have been wanting to make one of these coffee filter wreaths for a while.  Then my sister in law made a gorgeous one and told me how easy it was, Thank you Mary :).

I like how it turned out and it only took about an hour, and I added two burlap roses with some bling to it and another silk flower I had.  I don't think it is as pretty as my sister in laws but I can live with it.  :)   My new Years resolution is to post more on my blog in 2013.  I hope to stick with it!!  I have had a hard time learning to balance work, home, church and just life.   But I plan to do better in 2013.   Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!!!

My repurposed bowl into vessel sink

For our anniversary my husband was going to make me a vessel sink.  I just had to find the bowl I wanted to use.  That took me two months because I am too cheap to pay two hundred for a metal bowl when I always see cool ones at Goodwill or Salvation Army stores (until I am actually looking for one).  This pic is my before, not pretty the sink is plastic and had melted spots on it and the faucet was nasty.  Excuse my mess please :)

I finally found a hammered metal bowl at a thrift store for .95 cents I was thrilled.  My hubby built me a butcher block top and stained it in a dark walnut and added the bowl and new faucet.  I am not sure wether I will paint the vanity bottom or not yet.  If you have an idea let me know. :)

What a wonderful husband I have !! 

A Corner of the room

This is a corner of my bedroom.  I am trying to do the rustic with the elegant mix.  I used an old door I had stored in our shed and added chicken wire to it and used some little clothespins to hang some old lace and old pics I had and other little things.  I hung an old lace scarf I had found at the Salvation Army store.  I found an old mirror at Goodwill and spray painted it the same metallic color as the stenciled wall.  I then took a large jar and filled it with some of my lace and then added a bouquet of silk flowers.  (Note to self when you take a pic of a mirror it will show you in your pjs :))

My Bedroom Reveal

This is one photo of the bedroom redo.  You can see how the stenciled wall has a sheen to it.  I need to take some more pics of different angles.  But I just wanted to let you know that it is almost finished :)  I like how it all turned out.  At first I was fretting it :).


I will post more pics later of the different decor I used.   I tried to put some rustic in with the elegance to sort of balance it out  (and to help the hubby feel better).  I actually am very lucky in that area he lets me decorate any way I want to as long a s I am happy he says :).
