I'm as well as thus excited to part individual actually exceptional amongst you lot today, Shannon from Burlap & Lace. Not exclusively is she a creative genius amongst major style, but she's sweetness as well as hilarious, too. I've asked Shannon to part her fave 6 projects amongst us today, as well as boy, did she deliver! I know you're gonna honey 'em!
Hi -ers! I'm Shannon from Burlap as well as Lace. I'm as well as thus excited to last posting hither on Virginia's blog! I honey her, as well as her beautiful home. She's basically my spirit animal, which is a lot coming from a crazy truthful cat lady. It's almost similar nosotros part the same mind. I'm non certain if that's cool or scary. We'll larn amongst cool. :) Anyway, Virginia asked me to part my half dozen favorite projects every bit a component of her Wednesday 6 series! So hither nosotros go!
(ahem...Virginia speaking. Tomorrow is my 30th birthday. I've never been anyone's spirit animate beingness before, as well as I volition accept this every bit a sign that my thirties are gonna last awesome. Thank you, Shannon. Continue on...Sorry for the interruption.)
First upwards is my TV Gallery Wall. I simply collected frames from yard sales, thrift stores, as well as IKEA to create a large focal hollo for to environment the TV. I figured that a TV is inevitable (if my married adult man has anything to tell close it), as well as thus I mightiness every bit good drive to arrive blend inwards amongst a gallery wall! I exclusively had 2 rules when it came to creating this bad boy. #1: I stuck amongst silver, gold, black, or white frames as well as #2: I exclusively framed things that I absolutely loved! I don't believe inwards color coordinating fine art on the wall. Find what you lot honey as well as display it! I also painted the feet gold on an former dresser to brand a TV console. You gotta piece of occupation amongst whatcha got!
(Pardon....it's me again. I simply desire to permit ya'll know that Shannon's gallery wall & gilded dipped footsies lead maintain sent me downward a wormhole of inspiration. Ya'll know I honey a gallery wall. And also, I'm pretty certain that's the same dresser that's inwards my bedroom. How really delightful. I hope to last serenity now.)
My 2nd favorite projection is my DIY Spotted Art. I honey to paint, as well as I honey this spotted designing that has been popping upwards everywhere, as well as thus I created my own! I simply spray painted some inexpensive poster frames gold, as well as popped the fine art inwards them without a mat. They brand a huge disputation without beingness every bit good bold! One of my favorite places inwards my describe of piece of occupation solid is my bar cart. I would tell that it was my favorite place, but that would brand me audio similar a lush. :) This fine art makes the whole infinite a trivial prettier! It's as well as thus slow to create your ain fine art to relieve coin as well as to last creative. I did it inwards my living room, too!
One of the easiest projects I've ever done is my DIY Pantone Paint Chip Memo Board. I gathered some Pantone pigment chips inwards pinkish shades, as well as used double sided record to adhere them to white paper. Then I popped it inwards a frame, as well as wrote on the drinking glass amongst a white erase marker! I go it to write downward my goals for the week, but you lot could go it every bit a calendar, a carte du jour planner, or fifty-fifty a grocery list. So as well as thus easy, as well as it exclusively cost me $4!
One of the boldest decisions I ever made was to pigment an entire hallway chalkboard paint. This happened belatedly at night, as well as I did it earlier I could alter my mind. I'm as well as thus glad I did! I go it all the fourth dimension to doodle on, as well as our friends honey it. We honey entertaining, as well as I ever decorate the wall amongst whatever the subject of the nighttime is. Functionality aside, I also honey how the dark actually contrasts amongst the balance of the house. I loved it as well as thus much, I also painted an entire wall inwards my component amongst chalkboard paint! This is definitely something that Virginia as well as I lead maintain inwards common- don't you lot honey her chalkboard cabinets?!
Another projection that I honey is my faux malachite tray. I honey love honey malachite, as well as emerald is the Color of the Year for 2013! What I don't honey close malachite, however, is the hefty toll tag. So I decided to brand my own! I primed a clearance tray that I flora at Target, as well as went to town brushing as well as scraping dark-green as well as dark pigment together to create the marbled effect. It was a lot easier than I thought, as well as amongst a glossy coat of lacquer on top, it almost looks similar the existent thing! You can't rhythm out it for a few dollars!
In add-on to DIY projects, I also lead maintain a weekly How To serial on how to compass the glossy journal expect inwards your ain home. I abide by that a lot of my clients lead maintain trouble choosing the correct sized rug, arranging pillows on your bed, as well as even displaying fine art inwards your home. But my favorite "How To" is my tips as well as tricks on pattern mixing! It's something that everyone has questions about, but let's last honest...who doesn't honey vivid colors as well as patterns? I'm a neutral gal at heart, but sometimes I gotta permit unloosen every in ane trial inwards a while. And these are as well as thus fun!
So that's a circular upwards of my half dozen favorite projects from my blog, Burlap as well as Lace! I'd honey for you lot to halt past times as well as tell hello. I'll last the daughter amongst the pigment inwards her pilus as well as vino inwards her hand. Thank you lot as well as thus much for having me, Virginia! One solar daytime we'll last those crazy ladies carrying their cats around inwards their travelling pocket acre the thrift store for things to spray paint.
