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!!

My Friday Fave Pins

 

Are you following Donna from Funky Junk??  If not, you are missing out!  Her love of turning “junk” into functioning, working decor is such a great talent!!

ffDSC_1003In this picture Donna is using a ladder in her bathroom as a shelf and towel holder.  I like the sides painted black and the spindles are still rough looking.  Great texture.  What is not to love about this??   Funky Junk Interiors is one of my fave blogs!!

Courtney used a repurposed ladder for a gallery of pictures!!  How cool is this??  It looks great and functional.  I really like the screen behind it to highlight the ladder and pictures.

ffIMG_1024To see the full tutorial visit A Diamond In The Stuff.  Courtney is always busy sharing her talents and style.  You will not be disappointed!!

I love this ladder done by Amanda.  She decoupaged the spindles with fabric!!  Awesome!!

fffullI love the look of the books, pictures, and monogram highlighting the look and feel.  Visit Crafts By Amanda for a step by step tutorial.  She is very talented!

Becky brought her old ladder in the kitchen!!  With the vintage towels hanging from the ladder, it gives a feel of warmth and comfort.

The wire basket filled with burlap and flowers is just the right touch, don’t you think?  I hope you visit Becky over with Buckets of Burlap.  You are gonna love her!!

Okay, now Beth blew my mind with this PB knock-off ladder!!  Who wouldn’t love this on their back patio??  Mason jars, candles, a vintage, rustic look-LOVE it!!

ffladder with mason jars and star lanternSeriously incredibly done and absolutely a perfect knock off!  You will learn a lot from Beth at Unskinny Boppy.

Sarah brought her ladder in the kitchen and utilizes it for her kitchen needs.  Along with a few homey touches.

ff6a00e5536576ef88340120a50340a7970b-800wiThe basket, lantern, and fresh rosemary have my heart in this picture!!  If you like the Beach Cottage look, then visit Sarah asap.  So much inspiration there!!

For my last ladder pin today, Sarah made a coat rack with her ladder.  This hangs in her mudroom!!

ffinstall2I love all of the elements on this ladder.  From the dried flowers, to the Home sign.  It is balanced and inviting.  Thanks Sarah!!  Visit Linley House to see Sarah’s full mudroom makeover.  You will want to take notes.

I’ve Got The Monday Blues

April 22, 2013 By Meegan Leave a Comment

Hello Hello!!  I’ve got the Monday Blues!!  Even though I am visiting a new grand baby, the Monday blues hits me every time!!  Every Monday I share the blues that catch my eye during the previous week.

Since I have so many relatively new followers, I thought it would be fun to share some of my have blues in our home.
mondayblues

First, one of the blues in our home is in the laundry closet  I made this pair of mod-podge stenciled birdies just for the laundry area.  Everytime I open the doors, these birds make me smile.

I am loving this blue lamp.  My sweet friend bought me some blue paint and the first thing I wanted to do was to paint my lamp.  She looks pretty with my DIY floral lampshade.

Monday Blues

I like silhouettes, don’t you?  These 3 frames were black until I got to them.  They fit perfectly on the tiny wall in our office.  (Yes, the silhouettes are our 7 kids as children)

I've Got The Monday Blues

This corsage is my favorite, because I love the ribbon color, and the scent of fresh flowers in our home while I am doing bridal flowers.

I get some many compliments on this wall.  This is also in our office.  I love empty frames, and decided to paint the frames blue to add to our decor.

I've got the Monday Blues

My blue birdcage looks amazing in our guest bathroom.  When I received her as a gift from my father, I couldn’t help but add blue to her already beautifulness.  I have tiny white lights in her all year long, so when we have guests they see my pretty blue birdcage.

I've got the monday bluesI hope you have enjoyed the Monday Blues as much as I enjoyed sharing them with you today.  Blue always make me smile and gives me such a calm and relaxing feeling.

I've Got The Monday Blues-Cottage Style

What’s not to love about this kitchen?  The accents are perfectly balanced.  The counters and the pantry door are what caught my eye.  Maybe I need a screen door.  What about you?

mb5cafec23f253213d4e7b5278af578cfaCompletely Coastal

The crisp white walls and the simple blue accents are an excellent way to bring in a cottage feel.  The blue tray filled with blue accents-perfection!  Gotta love the ocean pillow, too.

ambtumblr_mlis8nolIB1r4h5f7o1_500The Little Corner

I am loving all of the blue textures in this tiny space.  The blue table, bottles, rocker, plates and throw-mmmm…love it.  Lots of blue eye candy here.

Sweet for a nice touch in a bathroom-A blue chair of course!!  With blue towels and fresh flowers, who could go wrong with this look?

mbhmrzr0d0k2ogqqtq7tug513169fd5f218Dishfunctional Designs

Okay, I have a thing for blue doors, I can’t help it.  You must admit this is a delightful addition for your garden wall.  And the cans-so creative and inviting!!

Everything about this space makes me smile.  The various blues, the shells, the baskets, the tea towels, and fresh flowers are everything my blues love.

I know, another blue door-I seriously love blue doors.  Look at this dining room set??  The blue chairs, the white table with a simple, yet warm centerpiece.  And, don’t miss the awesome chandy.  Too fun!!

mbb189a3d40eae624bd84d72cbacd834e5Cottage Industry Interior

 I am inspired by this cozy corner.  Detailed without being too crowded.  The blue shelf and lantern make my blues so happy!!  Anything mentioning the beach makes me happy.

Wow!  What a collection of the Monday Blues-Cottage Style!  I am enjoying the Spring and Summer looks this year.
