Counting on Spring to Come Again

My friends Bevin and Dan got married in December and when the reception was over her mom told us to PLEASE take any of the arrangements. The wedding was beautifully decorated in what I would call a rustic Christmas wedding. Burlap squares covered the tables and I gathered them up not wanting them to go to waste. I didn't know what I was going to do with them until I stumbled upon this blog.

I thought..."Hey, I can do that." So I did. Just in my style. I bought a straw wreath to cover (3.99) and I used fabric I already had. This wreath cost me 4 dollars! I love it and can't wait until spring to put on my front door!

I know what you are thinking....

A ton of posts at once!  That's right.  I have a little time this morning before I head to work and my husband left his laptop at home (that NEVER happens).  I just recently decided that Carl and I aren't showing our true colors when it comes to our home's decor.  I have either taken what others were throwing out or I would buy something cheap just to put on the walls.  

It wasn't "US".

So I had a garage sale and sold it.   

Then I got really ambitious!  I decided to paint.  I really like how it came out.  The Dots are over our couch in the living room and I will be making throw pillows that will match.  The idea is to be clean and contemporary!
