A No Tile Backsplash with Wallpaper Scraps!

I happened to have some textured and fabric wallpaper scraps in earthy tones just lying around.  See, hoarding can have benefits!  I had been shopping around for inexpensive glass tile when I had the inspiration to go in a completely different direction.  It was even easier than putting up large sheets of wallpaper, more free hand and forgiving. Same process really.  I used border paste to attatch to the wall with a dab of elmers here and there at stubborn seems and it looks pretty custom and really cool. .



These sconces were crome.  I did a faux aged bronze paint job using rust spray paint and dry brushing with black paint to get that aged look.  Not bad for nothing! (already had the spray paint left from another job)




Now I just need to replace that countertop and sink.




Thanks for your visit. Peace Kelly

Ideas For DIY Garden Art

These dead trees have burned in patterns. I think this is so amazing! A beautiful succulent topiary lady. This one cracks me up! An old window and some dollar store beads and voila, a shimmering wall hanging. These mosaic columns are made from pvc piping scraps.  Pretty awesome! Got glass?  Now here is a cool reuse, make garden totems. Adorable little gnome house. A bundle of sticks make the base of these simple Zen looking pillars. Love the wabi sabiness of these! Save those lids and caps from your recycling and make a cute owl.  So simple. If you have a bunch of old hardware, bottle caps, hub caps, metal scraps, etc you too can make this fence or wall decoration. STAY GROOVY - Kelly

Barn Mural Revealed

Image
My huge white barn got the royal makeover these past couple of days when my girlfriend came to visit and help me with this massive project. My gal pal hard at work!  She even provided some of the exterior paint.... She rocks! We tried a bit of shading but it just didn't look good.  We ended up covering it up and going with simple clean lines. My bestie, Kelly O.  She worked her ass off and enjoyed every minute of it... Maybe it was the beer! Side angle view. The rest of the white will get a coat of tan to match the house trim. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself.  It turned out better than I thought it would! Thanks to Kelly, not many people would spend their short vacation painting barns for friends, she is amazing and talented.  I love love love the new look!!!!
