Going Strong

Just something I finished today :)  It seems like everyone has the sign that says "Est In Year" so I tried to come up with something not as popular.  My husband and I got married in 2005...hence the sign.  I spray painted the board black and then used Champagne lightly over it to get this color.  I think it turned out awesome.  I used chipboard letters painted black and white and  I also used the 2in stencils for the numbers.  I really like how it turned out....what do you think?

PS.  Olivia's new project for school turned out great as well...Mrs. Happy Tooth :)

Unique Centerpieces

During our recent trip to Home Depot I picked up some floor samples.  I originally thought they would look awesome as coasters but this morning I got the bright idea to piece them together and use them as "doilies" I guess you would say.  Our living room is in different coordinating browns so this fits right in.  I also snapped shots of other various end tables to give you a feel of how I decorate.  Feel free to give your opinion or let me know if I am pushing it with this one :)

Scrabble Crossword/Dominoes

When my son brought home this game from a yard sale I thought it looked kind of weird.  Maybe a knock off?  When I researched it I found that it is authentic but that was last summer and I researched it today.  Well we definitely put the game to good use but unfortunately in the process of moving and it belonging to my 10 yr old, we lost a significant amount of tiles.  Since the tiles are now either going to be thrown out or lost I thought I should find something cool to do with them.  I am sure you all have seen some sort of seasonal blocks where you can just turn the block for new letters, right? Well I used these tiles to make the 7 block edition.  I also added the tiles to my DIY dry erase frame.  I am sure I will come up with other projects but for now these will do :)
