Fall Paper Decor

September 24, 2012 By Meegan 23 Comments

Okay, okay, now that Fall is really here according to the calendar, I can start sharing a few Fall projects around our home.  I just had to let Summer last as long as possible.  I just love Summer-what can I say??  I started by making some Fall Paper Decor.

I decided to use my grandpa’s croquet box as the base.  I played around with coffee filters after making the coffee filter wreath.  I decided to dye some in tea.  I soaked the filter in a pot of tea overnight.  So I taped up a few book page cones-and started to play.

This is my final result.  I am very pleased how she turned out.  I used a few empty jars, filled them with my book page cones, then added my tea dyed “flowers”.

I made the “flowers” just like I did for the coffee filter wreath-EASY PEASY!!

I also added torn pages to “fill in” in-between the jars.

I REALLY like my book page flower-so I clipped her onto the croquet box.  Great addition, don’t you think??

I was walking back from the pool and the pine cones caught my eye-just the right touch for Fall decor.

Now I have a little Fall decor with a little imagination.  She looks pretty right here for everyone to see.

I had fun add some Fall Paper Decor to begin Fall decorating.

What paper projects have you done lately?  Please share them with me.  I am discovering all kinds of different ways to use paper.  It is a creative outlet I am really enjoying.

Thanks for following me.

Make it a marvelous Monday!!

Stenciled, Refreshed Rug

September 20, 2012 By Meegan Leave a Comment

I have had rugs on my mind. I would like 2 new ones for the kitchen, one for the side of my bed, and a new one for the TV room. I look, and look, and look, and look everywhere!  I look for deals, I look for colors, and I look for makeovers ideas. I look around even when I don’t need a rug. So, I decided to make my own Stenciled, Refreshed Rug.

I painted one wall in our TV ROOM “A Hint of Olive” by Ace Hardware.  I LOVE how it turned out.

You can also view my pinkish frames, my pinkish pillow, my lampshade, the floating frames, AND my “pass it along gift-a handcrafted decoupage can” made by Debbie Doos on the table here.

TV Room Reveal

September 19, 2012 By Meegan 19 Comments

So good to be with you today! I feel like I am finally home. And ready to share my TV Room Reveal. I have been busy with traveling, and wedding flowers, not to mention having my husband home for a few days, AND our 35th Wedding Anniversary!

Anyway, in-between time I have been slowly working on our TV Room.  It is really a bedroom, but is more functional for us as a TV Room, and perfect for when company comes for a visit.
