mini project fun!

so i've been doing mini decor projects to make my new space more "me".

i hope you like them. =)

the first is a little fun i added to some candles i've had for awhile.

i got these little bead/marbles for christmas and with a little hot glue...

viola!
they sit on the back of my tiolet in my cute little bathroom! <3

the next was just spray paint! which i've said more than once that i LOVE!
it was this odd brown/copper color and i wanted it black to match my decor.

i covered the mirror with an old map and sprayed away!

look at that sparkle! haha. love it.

my favorite mini project...

i love van gogh, so i printed out one of my faves from his cypress tree collection and mod-podged it onto this glass jar that now holds my makeup brushes!

so fast and i love it!

speaking of mod-podge, i did this awhile ago.
just added cut-outs of vintage-y paper to an old flat black bowl.

what have you made recently?!
i would love to see pics!

diy jewelry project

so in style school (an amazing online class i am taking!) we were challenged to give something old or thrifted some new diy flair. so here is my little project!

i have a lot of jewelry and im pretty weird about being organized, so when my old jewelry display was giving out on me...i had to do something quick!

so i might be a little bit of a pack rat because i have had this empty frame for years! it was a green frame with a beautiful mirror, but with all my moving, it unfortunately broke and i couldn't ever part with it. i think its lovely. and it has been painted 6 other times. =)

i traced my shape out of the corkboard that i had in an existing bulletin board that i wasnt all too crazy about. i cut it pretty dead on so it fit really snugly in the frame which was nice because i just had to secure it with some masking tape. (it had a back board that was thick and heavy and i was happy to be rid of it!)

i spray painted all my tacks black to make the look a little bit more cohesive. i must say, i love me some spray paint! i got a little eager thats why there is no real "before" pic. haha.

and viola!

i reallly like how it turned out and it was so fast and easy.

the best part is that i had all the supplies!

i LOVE projects like that.

happpy mail!

here are some cutie things i got from (top) miss christine! and (bottom) from miss lindsay!both gifts were very thoughtful. lindsay is a fellow stylist so im sure she knows just how excited i was about the appointment planner and the cricket combs! christine earned her spot in happy mail hall of fame with the treasure troll! i absolutely adore them. both girls sent me chocolate which may or may not have ended up in the top pic because i may or may not have been eating it before the pic! haha.
i just barely sent out my happy mail! love miss jamie for setting it up. <3
im having issues with limewire.any other like programs that work great?!
