Here is the low down on how we rocked the stripes in Eleanor's room....You know, in case you wanna give it the good old college try. They are big impact for a small price and just a tiny bit of elbow grease. Once you get rocking, this goes pretty fast. It seems daunting at first, but I promise you will be able to do it. So lets learn how to paint some stripes. Supplies: 2 different paint colors (Duh! We are painting stripes) a roller a brush for cutting in painters tape ...

Sprinklers and Umbrellas
You all remember back when I made my life list and photography was on it. Well I am proud to say these shots were all take in manual (Holla!). Shot with my Nikon d3100 and the standard 18-55 mm lens. The only photography class I ever took was with Bella Pop (<--- click here to see why I loved it!). Bella Pop is online so y'all can do it too! Last night we were hanging out on the deck and the kids were playing and I felt the urge to run in the house and grab the camera and capture ...

Stenciled Drapes
Let me start by saying I have never successfully stenciled anything. I see beautifully stenciled things and wonder, HOW DID THEY DO THAT? Making the decision to stencil my drapes was a big one!

That was Cutting Edge Stencils. I am in love with the results. I feel like they completely finish ...
Mod Podge Letter
As if Eleanor's Room needed anything else! I have an obsession with letters, and now she has a fun E to add to her decor. A super simple, quick project. Pinky swear. All you need is a cardboard letter, a sheet of scrapbook paper, fabric scraps (and glue gun) and Mod Podge (of course!). BLAH letter. Trace your letter form on your paper and cut it out. (You can always cut it out later, like when you are waiting for paint to dry.) Paint the sides of your letter. I used acrylic ...
