Crafty Lady

I've been feeling very crafty lately. Maybe because I haven't made any hand-made creations lately or maybe because I've been feeling very inspired by some blogs I've read. But I've had the urge to create some things.

I think that working in hotels for many years inspired this first project. I can't tell you how many times I've walked down hallways lined with numbered doors. I've seen letters like these before so I decided to make my own using wire, glass pearls and a hot glue gun to mark our doorways in our home. There's a letter 'A' in next to Allie's bedroom door, and the letters 'M' and 'H' next to our master bedroom door. I can't wait to add some more letters to other bedroom doors when we decide to have some more munchkins. :)




And this next project came after walking through some model homes with my best decorating friend Bri. Bri and I love to get ideas from other people's homes (and I've actual gotten many of my ideas from Bri's amazing home!)


These 'his' and 'hers' signs hang above our towel hooks in our master bathroom. I got the wood plaques from Joanns, painted them first chocolate brown and then white. I sanded the edges so that the brown would show through. Then I got some vinyl letters here and stuck them on. Viola! Now Matt will always know which towel is his!
