Good Morning, Sunshine!

Remember how the Tune My Heart piece was my favorite? Well, that was before I made this piece over the weekend:

good morning sunshineThe inspiration for this piece came from LifeAsAThrifter and LittleBitFunky. It’s amazing how some old wooden boards glued together can look so great with a little bit of paint. :)

Tune My Heart

One of my favorite projects I’ve worked on lately is this piece for above our piano. I came across this idea on Pinterest and absolutely loved it! I used the tutorial from HomeSpun Happenings to etch my letters into the wood and it worked brilliantly! {side note: I didn’t use the charcoal on the back of the paper, but I did trace the letters and used the indentations as a guide}.

etchingI printed out the letters, taped them to my board, then traced the letters until there were indentations in the wood. I used a Sharpie to trace the indentations and viola!

etchingYou can see the indentation for the Y here before I filled it in with Sharpie.

Touches of Tiffany Blue

I mentioned earlier this week that I wanted to share some of the fun projects we’ve worked on lately. There are too many to all put in one post so I thought I’d start with a few of my spray-paint successes. :)

wreathOur new wreath! I spray painted it and glued on these cute little flowers. So simple, but so cute!

watering canI couldn’t find a cute watering can so I bought the cheapest one I could find and just spray painted it to make it look cute. :)

dining roomI spray painted a couple of cheap black frames that I had laying around and made these cute little sayings for our dining room.

bless this foodI found inspiration for this all around the internet, but here’s an example. I love the sentiment here. :)

be merry“Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we all die” can be a selfish way of living because it is so focused on self. So I wanted to redeem this phrase a bit and added the “and very thankful!” as a reminder that enjoying the life you have is great when you are grateful for it. :)

micah 6 8 And one of my favorite creations. Tiffany blue, chevron, and this reminder from Micah 6:8 for every time we walk in or out the door.

If you want printables of any of these, just let me know. I’m more than happy to share them with you guys. I can email you the originals for printing. More of our projects coming soon. Just wanted to share the Tiffany Blue bits today. :)
