Kids Room Revealed

When I first found out I was pregnant with my son Landon, I decided to go neutral when it came to bedding, because we knew that most likely our kids would be sharing a room. I originally went with black and cream french toile, then I accented with blue. My original plan was: add pink when I find out I'm having a little girl...so originally thats what I did! I went to DI, and I also found old frames lying around the house....I just painted some pink and blue picture frames. I liked it at first...but then I thought it was kind of girly considering Landon. So....I changed it....again...I was inspired by some vintage flash cards that I bought at Thanksgiving point a few years ago.

The inspiration:

After:

I was also inspired by the vintage toys that target now carries....that's what's on the shelves in the pic above...Paul and I made those shelves by the way....only $8 each!

We decided to go with a bunk bed for Landon's bed...he of course is on the bottom...I lucked out and was able to get the same bedding that we bought for the crib when Landon was a baby.

I bought these vintage flash cards off of etsy and hung them with jute and clothespins....I took apart the clothespins and painted them....Love it!

This is above the closet

We needed a little extra storage, so I bought these metal paint buckets at Lowe's...they work great and have that vintage look I was going for!

In My Laundry Room

I just recently, today to be exact, made some Laundry Room decor! My Laundry Room was very much in need of being decorated!

Wash. Dry. Fold. Repeat. on the wall. Isn't my ironing board cover cute!? I got it here. I also found this cute bucket at Lowe's and decided to use is as a trash can.

To make the bucket cute, I decided to put the word "trash" on it! Haha! It's the perfect size for Laundry Room Trash!

I made this sign.

This is on the wall above where the Laundry baskets go! The Laundry baskets are far too full, I am embarrassed to show them in the picture!

I found theses Jars at Target and Wal-mart. And labled them with vinyl, Dryer Sheets, Laundry Soap, and Oxi Clean!

Here's a view from a different angle. The metal bucket in the back was also purchased at Lowe's. It is holding my bleach, starch, and stain removers!

My newly decorated Laundry Room!

Photo Wall

I have tons of random frames, so I decided to make this photo wall in my room. I think it looks better in person, but I really like it!

Decorating with Vinyl

When I first got my vinyl machine, Paul and I made this family definition and put it on a mirror. I never posted it, so I thought I would!

I just love this picture of the Las Vegas Temple. I decided to add a vinyl scroll above it...it gives it a little something extra!

Baby Shower

I threw a baby shower this weekend for a very good friend of mine! The colors: Teal and Brown! I had so many ideas of things I wanted to make! Unfortunately I didn't get to do everything I wanted to, but I did do most of it! The thing I was most excited about was this banner! I used all Stampin' Up! paper, my cricut, double sided tape, toile, and ribbon! That's it!

This is the banner!

With it also being the holiday season, I decided to make peppermint bark for the take-home treat! All you do is crush candy canes, stir them into melted white chocolate, lay flat on wax paper, refrigerate until hard, and break into pieces! What a yummy snack! I wanted to stick to the teal and brown, so I used teal paper with brown polka dots to cover the treat baggies. Then I stapled the baggies shut! 

I made these for the cupcake toppers! The cupcakes where chocolate with chocolate frosting of course! Yummy! 

Since I have a vinyl machine, I decided to do different vinyl projects for game prizes!

This is prize #1

Prize #2

Prize #3

Prize #4

Prize #5

Prize #6

Prize #7

Since every good place to hang a banner is being occupied by garland for Christmas....I used the TV haha!

I also made these plaques. They were used as a shower decoration, plus they are a nursery decoration.

I found this cute cupcake stand at Williams-Sonoma! I love it!

MORE CUPCAKES!

Fall decoration

Last year I saw this idea in a magazine, and I though I'd share it with all of you. The wreath is sitting on an easel, and the vinyl lettering board is on the easel with the wreath as a background. Super cute! I think so anyways! I think I've done this idea for every Holiday!

Decorate your chairs for Halloween!

I just love to decorate for the holidays! My new favorite thing to decorate is the back of my dining room chairs. About 2 months ago when I was in Utah, I stopped at the Gatehouse in Orem (on State Street) and purchased these Halloween Wreaths, Postcards and Ribbon. This is a cute idea that can be used for any holiday!
