I am thrilled and excited to be a part of the Heart and Home blog hop. A big thank you to Pamela From My Front Porch To Yours. I have to admit I am a romantic by heart. Yes you can tell by the way I decorate my home with touches of pink, and yes roses. Today I wanted to share an easy DIY project. These pretty shabby coasters. And yes they have pink and rose's on the fabric. I can't believe the price of coasters. They can be very expensive. These are super easy to make and very cheap! They make a great gift too! You know how I am always finding pretty fabrics at the thrift store. Usually bed sheets and bed skirts. Or a pretty curtain panel. This is a Rachel Ashwell Curtain valance from her simply Shabby Chic line. I am also using a pink sheet from that same ... View Post
DIY Chippy Patina
Last week while I was pinning over on pinterest, I found a perfectly shabby chippy door. This old chippy door was being used as pantry door. Well, you know me and chippy paint. At that second , I had a light bulb moment. (Okay so as much as I would like to share my inspiration photo I can't. Did you know that you can be sued using someone's photo on your site without the original photographer's permission, even if it's from pinterest.) So......where do I begin. Here is how I stared my DIY chippy patina project. This was quite a process. As always I was experimenting and trying to figure out how to make my newer door get that chippy patina that I love, and look authentically old. My inspiration was my mantle that I created last year. You can view that HERE. Let's take a ... View Post

Shabby Repurposed Art
I found this chippy piece of wood and I knew I could make a shabby piece of art with it. The color and patina is perfection to me. I know most people think I am crazy for finding the beauty in scrap pieces of chippy wood. But there is something about imperfection that I love! I have lots of scrap fabrics in my studio. As I am shopping at a thrift shop I am always finding new pieces to add to my collection. Bed sheets are my favorite because you can do so many projects with just a little fabric. Here is a list of supplies needed for this project. Scraps of fabric(preferably a cotton sheet) Scrap piece of wood, with great patina Glue gun Twine Scissors First take a scrap piece of fabric, cut a piece about 1-2 inches wide.
