Spare Bedroom

My Mom and I get a little antsy in the Winter and want to redecorate. I thought I was all set with painting rooms until I saw a pretty blue gray in a magazine and I thought I could do that in the spare room. The color ended up being too dark, but I got a blue a few shades lighter and I love it. It reminds me of the downstairs bathroom blue that I loved for 14 years. I had all the bedding and curtains from our bedroom because I used to use blues with the cool gray and when I painted it over it was a warmer gray so the blue didn't go well. I cleaned everything when I put the room back together so another room is all Spring cleaned. Bonus!

Bathroom Wall

I added a few things to decorate the downstairs bathroom wall. The little washboard and the star. I added the lantern on the shelf and the sign. The jar with the star on it is from the upstairs bathroom and I'm thinking about doing a little update there too.

Bathroom Decor

I bought and made some new decor for the downstairs bathroom. A woman on ebay makes tissue box covers for the big boxes so I had her make me a tan one. I got the star block on ebay too. I bought a large candle ring with greenery and I split it into 2 tins I had. My Mom gave me the little washboard and I put tiny clothespins on the greenery in the big tin. I ordered some more things for the wall in there, but it hasn't come yet. I will post it when I get it.

Crackle Paint

This is my first attempt at crackle painting. I think it came out pretty good and I have a better feel for it now, so I might do more of it soon. I modeled this after something I saw on ebay and I thought it would look good in the downstairs bathroom.

Crafts

My Mom had an old plastic canvas wreath book and I decided to make some of them. I changed a couple a little and did the other two like they were shown. The flower wreath is supposed to be for Mother's Day. I don't know where I'm going to put it, but I thought it was cute. I'm working on the Christmas one now and those two are how they were in the book.
I took the hearts from the 4th of July wreath and made it into a Valentine's wreath instead.

New Bunnies

I had a problem going on ebay a few weeks ago. I won a bunch of stuff. I got this bunny. She's handmade and I'm going to keep her on the teal table in the living room for every day, but she's squeezed into the space with Winter stuff right now.
I also won this bunny. He's handmade and I'm going to keep him out for Spring and Summer because he's adorable and not Eastery.
