Burlap Wreath Tutorial

Image
I.am.ready.for.fall. Since Fall is around the corner, and I have a few spare moments with the kiddos back in school, I have been able to catch up on some decor projects I have been wanting to tackle. One of them being a burlap wreath.  You can't have Fall without a burlap wreath. It's in the rule books somewhere...I'm sure of it.  There are so many different styles. Raggedy, bubbly, smooth, etc. I went for more of a shabby look...sounds better than raggedy, right? Today I'm sharing how quick and easy this project is.   Your list of supplies: 3 yards of burlap(I used two colors)(Burlap is $3.99 at my Hobby Lobby. I used a 40% off Q) Wire hanger( Joan Crawford would die) Needle Nose pliers Scissors Tape Measure Start off by cutting your strips. I cut mine at 5" wide. Then you will want to straighten out the wire hanger.  Once all of the burlap is cut, do a fan fold. When finished, you will roughly have a 5x5 square. Thread the wire hanger through the square.  ...

Drawer-Turned-Bathroom Shelf

School is back in session here, so I actually have time to sit down and do some posts. I realized today that there are several projects that I talked about on Facebook, but never posted about them, so I 'm going to have to get with it:o) Speaking of Facebook, the  LEGO Table  has been unbelievably popular. Y'all have been blowin' up my feed! It's already more popular than my  Menu Board ...cuh-razy! So today is all about this cute little shelf that's hanging in our newly remodeled half bath . This is where I started. I found this drawer, along with another on the side of the road when I was on my way to drop S.R. off for preschool last year. The hubs wasn't happy about it, so to the attic it went and sat for over a year.  I've seen a lot of drawer-to-shelf makeovers here lately but I really didn't know where I would put one until I was in need of a shelf for the bathroom. Awesome!  I was not about to sand this piece down because I didn't know what ki...

Pottery Barn's Hadley Ruched Duvet Knock Off

Image
I hope that you all had a wonderful Mother's Day.  S.R. has a sinus infection right now, so things have been a little off kilter around here. I still haven't been able to use my chalk paint yet, but I am really looking forward to it:o)  I did get the chance to finish a project that I have been working on. A couple of weeks ago the Pottery Barn catalog came in the mail. I always get excited when those things come because they have so many beautiful things in them.  When I saw the  Hadley Ruched Duvet Cover , I wanted it....badly. Isn't it beautiful? Photo Credit: Pottery Barn I really wanted it for MY bed, but the hubs and the color white aren't on good terms, so I knew that having it in our room was a no-go:o/ The guest room needs a makeover, so I decided to put it there. I knew that this was something that I could make. Pottery Barn sells this duvet cover for $179.00. That's just the cover...if you don't have a duvet, then there is another added cost. So after ...
