Happy Sunday lovelies,
Its a rainy day here in the South and I’m trying to get geared up for a week of paint projects and design inspiration. Seems far off at the moment as I haven’t touched a thing to prepare.
My angels, the cleaning ladies, come tomorrow. I say a small prayer shortly before they arrive, “please don’t fire me this week. I promise to be better next time.” So I really need to get motivated and start picking up because I’m so grateful for the clean slate they provide me to get started with this week’s hopes and dreams:
1. Gallery wall in master bedroom, before and after photos. Need your thoughts on a diy idea for my sconces.
2. Finish jazzing up our family’s seashell collection for the beach house. Every beach trip we collect seashells and put them in labeled jars to remember them by.
3. Paint vertical stripes along one wall in the guest bedroom and style and photograph it for you.
4. Mud room make over is almost complete! Before and after coming soon. My handyman is hanging the hooks as I type this.
5. Father’s Day is coming up. The hubs has requested the kids paint a picture of our home or our family cottage on Torch Lake (great idea babe). He suggested using this wonderful painting as a guide. It was my Valentine’s Day gift to him from our sweet and talented neighbor, Artist Deborah Pellock. Follow her HERE.
I’ve got my own ideas for Daddy’s gift. It involves a painting something like the one below with lyrics from a favorite song…
6. Paint this pedestal to give it some layers. Thank you Reed family for the yard sale reject! He is also an artist. See his work HERE.
Sophia and I picked up a bunch of buttons last week to start embellishing the frames of my inspiration boards. This will be a fun craft for her and her little friends to participate in. I need to gather all of the stray buttons I have lying around the house to give it that one-of-a-kind touch.
Anyway, on the occasion of father’s day from my side, I might plan to give him a t-shirt quilt out of his favorite t-shirts that he no longer wears. I saw such memory quilts on social networking sites and had been planning to give him something similar ever since. Let’s see how things go.
Before there was Pinterest, there was my design bible. If the entire magazine issue isn’t worth saving (a rare occurrence these days), I rip out my favorite images and file them away in this huge three ring binder. I need to finish filing so we can take a deep dive inside here. It is loaded up with crazy INSPIRATION.
And I’m way behind on my research pile. I need to go through again and make sure I haven’t missed something fabulous to pin or rip out.
