Fall Subway Art

I made a stop at the Goodwill the other day and found some small canvases. They weren’t really my taste, but I knew I could paint them and they were only 1.58. I think they originally came from Target.

I cannot wait for Fall, it’s my favorite season, so I decided to make some Fall art.

I painted the canvas white and used the leftover part of some scrapbook stickers for a template. I mixed up some orange and green paint for the letters and then applied some watered down stain over the whole thing.


Sorry for the blurry pic…


I tried to put in things that I think of when I think of Fall.
Dairy Days is the fall festival in my home town.

I love going to haunted houses!

Pottery Barn Crates

The other day, I was checking out Pottery Barn online looking for some inspiration and I came across these.
 

Pottery Barn – 24.00

I love these old crates, not just because they are adorable, but because they remind me of my childhood. We had 4 or 5 of these growing up and used them for everything from magazine storage, Christmas card holder, storing cups, and my favorite was to stand it up on it’s side and use it as a doll house for my strawberry shortcake dolls. I still have a RC crate, so you know after seeing it in Pottery Barn I had to break mine out.





So far, I’ve just got some candles,picture frames, and a vase sitting in mine.


Have you seen this candle at Wal-Mart?? I love them.. They smell like Caramel and Coffee and are only 5.00.

I'm off for a day of swimming with Kim and then we're having game night tonight.

Relaxing Wall Art

Did you guys watch the Bachelorette? I was hoping she would pick Roberto. They make such a cute couple!

Recently, I’ve been loving old wooden signs that look like they have been beat up and left laying around for years. I had some wood laying around so I decided to try to make my own to hang in our bedroom. 

The stain and distressing isn’t this dark in person.
