Try it Tuesday!

So excited for these features today, I hope you will share my excitement with them too!

I love all things that shiny...it's my weakness, that is exactly what this WREATH is! I feel in love with this when I saw it over at Junkin' Junky! Isn't it GORGEOUS!?! You have to go over and check out how to make one, and look at all of Mel's other amazingly gorgeous creations! I have to say I could have done like my whole "Try it Tuesday" post on things on her site!

Look at these cute pillows too! Love.

I thought this next idea was a cute spin on an old idea...it's a Christmas Countdown Frame! I've been wanting to do a countdown craft, just wasn't sure what kind of one until now! Head on over to A little of this, a little of that to get the full tutorial!

I guess I got a little ahead of myself on letting loose my Christmas excitement and forgetting that Thanksgiving is 2 days away. This next craft I might have to whip up tonight to have it in time for Turkey day, and maybe switch them up a bit so they can be used for Christmas and New Years! Aren't these place mats cute!? I think so! Head on over to It's Always Craft Time and give her some love! 

I hope some of you feel inspired to make your own creations! If you have any projects that you want featured be sure to email me at dotdotdotthis{at}gmail{dot}com! I would love to see them!

Thanks!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving week!

Fabric Wall of curtains!

I have two embarrassing problems:

I can't believe I am showing this to everyone...
Problem #1

Unsightly cords draped down my wall because, neither myself or my hubster are electricians.

P.S. I don't ever watch Soaps, sorry, I couldn't find the remote so it was left on that channel! :)

Problem # 2

A toilet view from our bed. Sexy right?

That was one thing that I noticed when we were looking at our house to buy it. When we went home to talk about things my hubster assured me that there was in fact a door there and that I must have not seen it. I mean who doesn't put a door from their bedroom to their toilet? Then after a quick buy, and move in day, I then assured him that there was in fact NOT a stinkin door there!

What the crap right? (no pun intended)

 Anyway, after almost 3 years in the house and staring at the toilet every night as I lay my head to sleep, I decided I could not go on like this anymore. This is what we did. I love love love it!

I wanted it to go from wall to wall and touch the ceiling so there would be no gaps. We screwed those little loop things on the two side walls and then strung the wire through, then tightened it at the end. I also used some sticky back velcro to help close things up.

I want to get a hook to hold back the one drape from the door. For now the chair works!

My bathroom is the next project on my list of to-dos...don't judge!

If I had the rest of my room finished I would show you a picture of the whole room, but that will be in a few weeks..hopefully! I was afraid at first, that because the curtains are chocolate brown, they would make the room feel smaller, but I think it makes it look more GRAND because they are floor to ceiling and shimmery!

Now the T.V. looks like it's floating!

I also wanted to do a little stencil on the curtains, my significant other says no, he is old fashioned I guess. I think I might do it while he is at work and then he will come home and may have a seizure at first from the amount of drama on the wall, but I think after awhile his brain and eyes will adjust.

This is a mock-up of what it would look like if I decide to do the stencil. I would move the chair with the damask print away from the room, so there wouldn't be too much print.

I think I would do a goldish color of paint on the curtains so it wouldn't be too dramatic, but I think an off-white would look pretty too!

This is something that would be so awesome if you lived in an apartment and you couldn't paint, but you wanted the drama of a stenciled wall!

What do you think?

All the ideas and opinions expressed are my own. No monetary compensation was received for doing this post, however, I was provided with a discount code.

Pottery Barn inspired desk.

Maybe I am obsessed with turquoise and glazing.

I love it!

Before:

After:

I know I should stop using this color, but I can't!

I think of turquoise as a neutral, because it looks good with almost any color..don't you think?!

It's like a Pop Neutral, it matches everything, but still adds that pop in the room that you need!

Say what?!

This item is FOR SALE in my Shop!

Email me for details!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

I'm linking to the PARTIES on my right! Go check them out!!

Try it Tuesday!

LOVE these ideas!

I have been dying to have a fireplace in my front room, obviously a real one is out of the question with my budget! That's when I figured I would do a faux one, well that has taken some years time to get my hubster to help me. Then I came across this amazing tutorial and realized that I could totally do this myself, or at least enough of it that would get the hubster to have to help me finish...right? Go check this DIY Faux Fireplace at Vintage Revivals! Thanks for the inspiration Mandi!

I am in need of some super cute Christmas decor, and these Ruffled Trees are perfect! They are cute and elegant, and best of all...super inexpensive! Head on over to Shanty 2 Chic to get the complete tutorial!

Can't wait to go get the supplies and get started!

I thought this last idea would be a fun 12 Days of Christmas gift starter! I ran across it over at Diary of a Preppy Mom. They are cute little Christmas Crayons, go check out her tutorial!

This last feature is a tutorial submitted by Stephanie at Luxe Boulevard! She made a No Sew Bow Tie, perfect for the upcoming Christmas dress parties. Put your little boy in one, and instantly makes it look fancy!

 

Thanks to all of these ladies for sharing their great ideas!

If any of you have a project you want featured please email me, I would love to see it!

Have a great Tuesday!
