i have been busy working on DIY projects for my office/entry.

i decided to take a break from painting the brick (hallelujah!) and make a sunburst mirror.

since i have only budgeted $100.00 for the space, it needed it to be very inexpensive.

here is how it came to be:

step 1: purchase flat wood sticks, mirror, embroidery hoops, and paint.

step 2: break sticks into the desired length

step 3: create design

step 4: paint sticks ( i mixed two colors together, metallic gold & splendid bold)

step 5: let sticks dry

step 6: lay sticks out

step 7: glue sticks on the back of the mirror

step 8: turn mirror over

step 9: paint embroidery hoop

step 10: glue embroidery hoop on top of mirror

step 11: glue hanging mechanism on back of mirror

and your finished!

total cost $19.00

it kinda has a retro feel.

i can’t wait to get my fireplace painted and the mirror hung!

i am spending the morning at the preemie clinic for emory’s biannual appointment.

last night i completed a DIY project that i can’t wait to share with you.

i couldn’t take pictures last night (bad lighting) so i have to wait until after the appointment.

check back later for more details!

i am so excited about this online nursery design i just completed.

* a gender neutral nursery

*modern yet cozy space

*loves pops of bright colors

*wallpaper of some sort

*glider

*fuzzy rug

*a space that can grow with the child.

i love all the organic lines, animal motifs, and natural wood.

i can’t wait to see this nursery come to life!

christine’s textile tour confirmed my love for schumacher chiang mai dragon fabric.

a little chiang mai dragon can go a long way.

being such an expensive fabric, it seems out of reach for many.

i recently came across willa skye home, an etsy shop with beautiful pillows.

they even sell an affordable chiang mai dragon pillow!

$46.00 for a 10 x 14.

i also selected it for a online living room design i am working on.

i think it ties everything together perfectly!

now i need one for myself 🙂
