Home Decor Ideas

This past week, we had some friends visiting (and we had a BLAST!).  I got some decorating ideas for a blank wall that I have been wondering what to put on it.  (The wall is a bit awkward with thermostat on it and a vent).  I have some plates and a thrifted mirror that I will be using.  I am extremely excited!

I thought I would share with you some great finds for home decor I found on Pinterest this week.  (Click on image for the source).

Linking up here and here.

A Window From My Past

I went to a home show two years ago and that is where my inspiration came from!  My parents are replacing old windows, so I got this one for free!  All I did was clean the window and spray-painted it white.  I found the berry wreath at my local craft store one sale.  (I had been wanting one of these for a while).  I pounded a nail in the top and hung the wreath with a piece of wire.

Here it is on my wall.  Love it!

I realize the wreath could use a little help!  These are a pain to get right...geez.  I would like to add some vinyl to the window, but just can't decide what to use.  Any ideas?  Also, I thought it would be awesome to sand the edges to give it a shabby look.  What do you think?

This week, I am partying over at a variety of places.  Check out my new "blog parties" page for some sweeeet ideas and to see where I party!

Chicken Wire Jewelry Holder

I was inspired to create jewelry holder when I came across Ucreate Crafts earlier this month.  I clicked on the link Create With Me and found out that each month, she has a craft you create and then share.  This is my first time, and I have been so excited about doing it!  Go check it out, it is lots of fun!

I started out with a thrift store frame, which was super ugly.  It was speckled with black, white, and gray. See?  This picture doesn't really show just how hideous it was.

I painted the Beast with lavender and then distressed it with black.  I stapled the chicken wire to the back and sanded the edges to give it a shabby look.  I am loving this beauty!

Distressed Family Frame

I make display projects for a local craft store.  This is one of my latest creations.

It originally started out as an Easter decoration, with embellished papers in each of the windows.  The store wanted me to add pictures so they could display it longer.  I have to admit, I was a little disappointed, because I have been excited to get this one back to hang in my home.  I have the perfect place for it! 

I think it would look super cool with mirrors in it.  What do you think?
