around the house...

i did a couple of quick little projects with leftover spray paint...
i found this little random house shaped wire tray at DI ($.75) one day, it started as this dusty blue color (there's the Krylon Bahama Sea paint)


avery saw me painting it outside and she said, "you're painting it the same color mom!"  well, it's brighter i think:)  i love it...eventually i want to have little hearts for each of our family members in the house..appropriate for valentine's day...or anytime

the same day i was at DI i found this little fishy ($3)...i think it was once used as a vase but he's just pretty 
and apparently i have an affection for white vase-like things...most of these are milk glass..i'm always on the lookout..so the fishy fits right in...in the living room:)  hey, there's kendall and me on our wedding day....awwww.....


we just had craft day at my house Tuesday day, Tuesday night and Wednesday day...a couple of things i made...this vinyl was a groopdealz i ordered for those that wanted it....here's the other leftover spray paint on the frame (dark gray, from Ethan's Dresser)
here's a wreath i did that i big time love...inspiration here (we made our own frames for it, by cutting moving boxes into a heart and gluing two thicknesses together so it would be strong.  worked REALLY well...it's a lot of ribbon, i used parts of 7 spools of ribbon...i did 4 inch loops, and i had about 120-130 loops, which is  about 13 yards, if anyone is counting!)
i especially love the glitter ribbons..you can't seem them very well in any of the pics, but they are super cute:)

that's what going on around our house lately...

I heart white glass too!! Although I haven't been brave enough to put it in the house yet. I have seen it in tons and tons of home decorating magazines and I love it. Love that fish next to that blue glass ball it looks so cool and modern. Sweet finds lady.
