Sometimes you run across a great idea when you least expect to. Like this tabletop! Can you guess what it is made from?I figured it out before I got home so like the dork I am I had to call my sister on my way home just to let her know what I came up with (not that she was thinking about it...
Did you happen to see the Burlap vase tutorial on Dear Lillie last week ... I ended up making a couple.I was afraid I would make nothing but a mess, but they both turned out pretty well.I couldn't find our Sharpie so I used a fabric marker that I had on hand.I also found a font I liked, typed out the names I...
This photo has so many elements I like all in one room! The new ooh-la-la arm chair, ruffle ring items, cloverleaf sheets, and their vintage mirror! Ooh-La-La Arm Chair in Light Gray Clover Drape in Warm Gray. OK - in this photo I adore the paint color paired with the gray desk and that painted Banker's chair. I went to an Estate Sale...
