Forever and Ever Amen Wall Art...a closer look...


Do you remember the wall art I showed you in my bedroom?


I told you a little bit about it when I did the "big reveal" of my "Big Girl" ladder bed canopy.  You can see the rest of that post...my most popular post X 10!!!...HERE :)


Well, I had so many comments and emails about the details of my little framed art back there...that I decided to do a quick post giving a closer look.  I promise you, it's REALLY simple...anybody can whip one of these up in a "jiffy"...


Basically, I just hung a big, fun, "robin's egg" blue, empty...perfectly chippy...frame on the wall.


Then I just grabbed a couple of old paperback books I had purchased out of the .15 bin at the Goodwill, and started tearing out pages.
I used a combination of stencils and stamps to add the letters and symbols with a foam brush and gray acrylic paint. 
I think the key is to "mix it up"...tear the pages in different ways and sizes.  Keep it fun :)


After I decided the basic arrangement...I used wooden push pins to stick them right onto the wall...yep, it was as easy as that...


...TA DAAAA!!!

I think I'll love it forever and ever...AMEN :)

Hope this helps those of you who were interested!!  And in case you are wondering...because a lot you you were...that bedding was something I purchased at Target a few years ago.  It was from their "Casual HOME" line...and sad to say, I'm pretty sure I bought it on clearance, because that's how I "roll".  Sorry!!
(The bird pillow was also from Target, Dwell Studios for Target...and those cool Mr and Mrs pillows were (again) made by my friend Joan(Signs of the Times, on facebook

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday!!

Until next time,

A Leg Up...

That is...a garden table leg, "up" on my wall...


This was one of my first (and favorite) repurposing ideas.  My husband found these legs stashed in the garage and basically said we need to do something with them or get rid of them.  So I had to think fast :)


So up they went...


On either side of this ice box in the entry.  My "in-laws" gave us the cool refinished ice box...so it's only fair that they got the other 2 table legs right?  Fair trade??? ;)

(They make a great spot to feature Hinge Frames with the pics of my little cuite pies :))


A little rust here and there is always a good thing in my book.


Kept it simple by just adding a couple of "jaw" hooks to the back.  Nice and easy...just my style!

Much better on my walls than in the garage don't you think?  I do :)  Or under a table...huh, imagine that? ;)

 Have a great weekend...see you at these parties...
