In the Meantime…

Today I received the pics from Josh and Ellie Kate’s birthday party from my photographer FIL, but while I “tweak” them, lets take a peek at a couple of house projects I’ve been working on lately.

run-on sentence much?

First up, we needed something to take up this empty wall space in our hallway. I found two old canvas prints of casino-ish, pin up-ish, art (if thats what you call it) from Josh’s bachelor days and I decided they needed a makeover. Check it out!

Using this stencil, I traced and painted until I had completed the pattern on both canvases. I love the simplicity of the pattern.

 

Next, I decided our kitchen needed a little more *oomph*

I mean, what kitchen doesnt?

So I used my cricut machine and some black vinyl to make this:

Now when you come visit, you will never go hungry. You will always know where the food is!

I also added some numbers to our coffee canisters. I luuurve them. I’m thinking about adding a tiny “No.” next to each one, what do you think?

My last project was a restyle of a little flower print that no longer matched our bathroom decor. I painted the whole thing white using craft paint, and added some black vinyl wording and a cute little bird. Now this is what greets us when we come in through the garage door.
