"R" you ready?


I love initials and monograms-
there's something special about personalizing spaces
 and I try to do a little bit in every room!

So, I had this little R just hanging around-

I've sprayed them-
wrapped them in twine-
mod podged them-
but never floralized them-
until now!!

With a small bunch of blue-violet hydrangeas
and a glue gun- I went to town!!
(pardon the pic but a rainy week means picture taking isn't pretty!)
But, here's my very pretty and oh, so, girly "R" -
I just love it !

Trays

                                          

This ugly and dirty round tray was a find at Goodwill.
It cost me a cool $2.99-
the frame was .99-
After a cleaning and a quick spray of primer,
I painted this with my bff - Behr heavy cream!
Aren't the lines of the edges pretty and feminine?

 
I had a roll of blue and white toile paper that I got year's ago.
It's a little thicker than wrapping paper.
 I cut it to fit the inside of the frames-
I mod podged the trays with a couple coats and they dried overnight!
Pretty feminine trays for my dining room-
May I serve you please??
haha, gotta fly-Claire

Medallion Makeover

            I picked this up at GW for $1.99- Doesn't it look like a heavy chunk of wood?                          
Guess what?
It's made out of foam,
 not spongy or squishy -
but more like a foamish ceiling tile-
 I painted it in Heavy Cream (Behr's)-
I know you will all faint when I don't use this paint
 but it's my new fav, the bff!!
 After painting, I sanded it down abit-a little distressing never hurt anyone!
Up close and personal-
It's a pretty little ditty and I'm lovin' the cream on cream look!!
