"That's so Wrong" Wednesday Vol. 13

Embrace the lawn art, people. You know you want to.

I'm thinking about starting my own lawn art collection. What do you think?



Until next time...

Better Late Than Never

Most people will tell you, "well, it's better late than never," but when you have family coming to stay in your guest room "better late than never" doesn't really apply to the delivery of your window coverings. Late stinks. 

My parents came into town this past weekend and their arrival was the deadline for getting some window treatments up in the guest room. The hubbs and I decided on some curtains from West Elm to add a bit of pattern into the guest room. Unfortunately, the item we wanted was sold out online and in our local store so I had to call a handful of stores to finally track down the four window panels that I needed. I was pumped...until the tracking information told me it was being delivered on Monday. (Mom and Dad were leaving on Sunday. So not helpful.)

So although Mom and Dad just got some classy sheets over the windows while they were here, our West Elm curtains are now up, in place and looking good (if I do say so myself) in the guest room. 



I guess we need another set of visitors now.

Until next time...

"Thats so Wrong"Wednesday Vol. 12

I'm pretty sure my friend Shane would be terrified of this bathroom. How about you?

Hmmm...

Has anyone noticed the accent pillows YHL used in their blue guest room? Look familiar? Hmmm... Seriously, please get out of my head.


At least the curtains I ordered from West Elm aren't a blue circle pattern. Now if they would just get here already.


Until next time...

Use Whatcha Got

If God gives you lemons, make lemonade...

If God gives you random leftover home decor items make art? (Eh, it kinda works...although I'm sure he didn't want me to buy the random leftover crap to begin with.) 

Anyway, here's what I was up to on Sunday:


Project 1: 

  • Woven Placemat
  • IKEA silver frame (been waiting to be put to use)
  • small IKEA mirror (1 of 4)
  • Left over Guest Room wall paint
  • Paper from IKEA frame

All of this eventually became a new mirror for our guest room.



  
  





Project 2:
  • Old Target Artwork (was originally in our apartment bathroom)
  • Left over white trim paint
  • Pottery Barn Keys
  • Gorilla Glue
All that equals some fabulous new art for our living room that I love.








Yay for simple free artwork completed in a hour! Woop, Woop.

Until next time...
