Project #1: Car canvas

I just finished T's car canvas.  I used an old canvas and painted over it... did some short brush strokes to give the canvas some texture.  I bought two retro Matchbox cars and glued them on.... overall this project cost me $2 (cars $99 cents each).  Not bad, huh?

DONE!

I FINALLY finished editing the wedding photos.  After taking a brief vacation from them while I went to FL, I'm done ;)  I went from 500 photos to about 250... I think I did an OK job on their wedding and I wouldn't mind doing a wedding again.  While it was stressful it was a lot of fun as well.  If you want to check out the photos click here and let me know what you think!

Toby's Room Mockup

Home Improvement

Not the 90s show, my house ;)  Although I do wonder what JTT is doing now....

Anyway,  I'm getting ready to re-do Toby's room and our bathroom.  I played around on the Behr website and came up with the final colors for both rooms.  Toby's room is going to be car themed since my sister gave me a traffic light and traffic signs while I was in FL and Toby was in love.  I'm SO not ready to part with the baby room that I spent so much time planning but the kid has his own mind now.  Our master bathroom is going to be what I call "beachy" with blue walls, white trim and dark brown cabinets.

Toby's room... the wall where his bed is is going to be blue and the other walls will be tan.  The trim, door, etc will be white.  The accessories have red and yellow and other primary bright colors.  I think the colors I picked will go with any other theme he might be interested in later on.

The bathroom walls will be the blue.... the cabinet color will be something much darker than what's here... couldn't find what I wanted on the Behr site.  Trim and doors will be white and accessories will have tan/blue and some splashes of color.

Paint purchased.   Decor items mapped out and some even purchased.  Operation re-decor is a go!

Do blondes have more fun?

I sure hope so!  I went in for "partial" highlights and came out blonde.  I'm in shock... I didn't go in for such a drastic change so it'll take a while to get used to.  What do you think?

Fabrics and projects galore!

I have a stack of fabrics and a collection of projects just waiting to put that fabric to good use.  Now the issue is-- which project to do first!?


Decisions, decisions....
