The Dining Room

By -
I spent the better part of this weekend working on my Dining Room. It was so blah before. Now it has color and pictures on the wall.
I still need a new dining room table... Hello Craig's List! And maybe a buffet table. Other than that I'm almost set! Check out the Inspired Room Blog for some great decorating ideas!


The mirror, white chair and pillow were all found at thrift stores\garage sales.



The curtain is a sheet i turned into a curtain, another thrift store find. The pictures are framed scrap book pages.

Love! love! love! ...I'm a garage sales/thrift freak myself... and I have that same darn sheet (for my daughter's bed though, for my house is not "country" enough for me to put up flower print curtains... but I love it!).

The cherry color is amazing, the mirror too... everything is so lovely, Sabrina! What a great job!

That mirror was quite the score! If I were you (which I'm not so just take this with a grain of salt) I would take the raspberry color across that whole wall. Think how totally delish with the white doors and trim and the scallops over the doors--it makes me teeth hurt, it's so gorgeous in my mind. It's not as if there is that much wall space that it would be too over powering. At least I don't think so. But who am I?

Guess what? Big surprise....I LOVE IT! And what would it be to have me comment on your decor without telling you that I have something the same. Some of that scrapbook paper!! I used it to make birthday banners and little flags for birthday cakes. Good taste girl!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
