Turquoise Armoire

 

My Husband just finished this beautiful piece of furniture for a client.

Love the color, the design, the scale, the damask stencil,

 I love everything about this piece.

And when he told me it is being used to hold shoes!!

I love it even more!!

 

This is such a happy color...

 

Great Jewelry Selection!

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Family Portrait Spoof

Ever wondered how it would be to live in the 17th or 18th century?

Diy Mohawk YSL shoes

 I LOVE SHOES!!

 

I know I should be faux finishing or painting something for the blog but

I found these online and fell in love with these funky shoes, but was not in love with the price tag. OUCH!!!

 

I knew exactly how I was going to make them.

Here is my version..

These are all the materials your going to need.

Start with the right shape shoes.

These resemble the heel of the original YSL shoe.

They don't have to be exact but they do have to be comfortable.

I found these at Nordstom rack.

I purchased 7 inches of faux fur from the trim section of the fabric store.

I cut it in the direction of the length

Combed it

Spiked it with hairspray

Glued the back with clear tack glue

Placed it on the back of the heel.

Slapped them on my bird legs.

Love them!!!

 

I spent less than $4.00 for this project and they look FAB YOU LUS!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trellis Stencil Pattern with Metallic Paint

Our Blurry Office..

We recently purchased a house and carefully chose the room

 that would be our new office.

Unfortunately, I didn't take a good before picture so

I used the poor quality listing picture, hence the blurriness

(Is that a real word...)

I've been seeing a lot of trellis patterns in interior design and I'm totally in love.

Lets do a featured trellis wall!!

I researched many stencils and chose cuttingedgestencils.com

We're impatient so out goes the blow dryer!

on cool a setting of coarse.

It's very important to use a level when preparing a starting point

so your pattern stays level and consistent throughout

oh... and and tape the edge of the ceilings
 

 

   Make sure to keep the pattern level or you'll have a wall from
 Ripley's Believe It or Not.



                     

This is a before picture of the featured wall

I should mention we converted the closet into an open

space to place our office credenza.

Fits like a glove....
 



We used a metallic paint so taking a picture was challenging.

The pictures captured a halo.





 

I painted an abstract painting of lips in silver shades
