BEAR LAKE PARADE OF HOMES

My sister's husband is a builder in Bear Lake and built this gorgeous home on the golf course.  They entered it in the Bear Lake Parade of Homes.  Andy did all of the metal work including some of his custom furniture being featured in the home.  And I got to help my mom and sister decorate the place.  SO MUCH FUN!

Natalee's Room complete with chandelier, bunked bed and a balcony overlooking the great room.

Living Room - gorgeous rock fireplace surround that just keeps going up, up, up.

And last but not least, Andy's custom railing - I LOVE how it turned out.

My camera was not cooperating so these are iPhone photos.

CENTRO PIZZERIA

Centro Pizzeria recently opened in Cedar City.  Funder Welding built the floating shelf, entry railing, and the fireplace surround.  It's a pretty great little place.  You should go check it out.

2012 St. George Parade of Homes

Recently had the chance to go to the St. George Parade of Homes, an annual tradition.  Andy had his garage booth, so Macy and I hooked up with friends and family to get in on the action.  It was lots of fun.  Most of these photos were captured with my iPhone, so forgive the quality.

Spring

I think spring just makes me want to refresh things and there is just something about making something out of nothing that feels oh so good.


WALL ART - FRAMES
When I lived in my little avenues apartment in Salt Lake, I had the greatest bedroom with old brick walls. I loved those walls because I could put as many holes in the mortar as I wanted! At one point, I picked up a bunch of picture frames from the DI and spray painted them all white and arranged them on the brick wall in a collage like so (those yellow flowers are the ones I got when Andy proposed to me):


Since Andy and I have been married, these frames have been in the bottom of the basement in a box. Because we live in a little old house with plaster walls, holes in the walls are problematic because they can make the wall crack. So, I thought my white frame collage was a thing of the past. Then, I had the idea to hot glue them together. We actually suspended them with fishing line from a hook that was already at the very top of the wall. And now I have a little something new to look at that cost $0 and didn't even require putting a hole in the wall. Score.


WALL ART - WHITE RHINO
I recently consigned a few items at the local consignment shop and with the earnings, I picked up this funky white rhino (which apparently is a form of marijuana, who knew?). It adds the right amount of edge to the room. I love it!


ZEBRA PILLOW
At my card/craft group, we made throw pillows and this is mine. I love how it turned out. I used stuffing from an old pillow and got the fabric 40% off at JoAnn's.


MOSS-COVERED LETTERS
I made these for my card/craft group girls and love how they turned out. They weren't free but they certainly weren't $79 like the Pottery Barn ones where I got the inspiration. More like $5.


And this one is mine...


BRINGING OUT SPRING
Just brought up a few items from seasonal storage.



I turned this tiered basket into our Easter baskets and made little tags to go along with it.




BEDSPREAD FLIP
Our bedspread was like this all winter:


I loved it but was ready for a change so I just flipped it over one day and turned the shams around and it satisfied my need for change beautifully.

Lovin' that new headboard...

GLITTER EGGS
Boiled, sprayed with spray adhesive and glittered.



Got hung up on the glitter concept and glittered some gifts for my nieces birthdays, Natalee and Ally.

Only do the glitter projects if you don't mind your hands looking like this.
