Grape and Berry Garland


Photobucket
 In a previous post some months ago, I mentioned that our kitchen had a bit of an identity crisis. Since then I've gotten it a little more "together." I've went with predominately red accessories, except above the cabinets where the majority of my antiques and things were blues and tans.

But after I decided to go with reds, my awesome mom brought me a whole box of grape garland. It was really pretty, so I just had to use it, but I also wanted to add some red elements to bring the top of the cabinets together with the rest of the space. So today I'm sharing my solution!

Fall Letter Craft Tutorial

I love fall crafts and decor!  I made this shabby style fall craft the other day.  I guess you'd call it a wall hanging (even though I've hung it on the fridge).  But the concept behind my little fall letters could also be applied to banners, cards, place mats and more.

Fall Leaf Jar


At Christmas I just love jars filled with Christmas balls, so last year I took the idea and applied it to fall. 

It turned out really cute, and the best part of all is that I didn't have to spend a dime. I already had the gold Christmas balls that I used.  And the leaves actually fell off of some fall garland that I had. Rather than throw them away, I figured why not use them for craft materials!

Bedroom Makeover

I recently did a slight revamp in our bedroom....nothing fancy, just a new bedspread and curtains.  I love the bedspread that we had, but we've been using for a while, and I thought the room could use a splash of color.

Summer Pinwheel and Burlap Wreath

I think pinwheels are so cute and fun for the summer!  Several weeks ago while making my flag wreath, I also put this little pinwheel wreath together.

Since it's made using the scrapbook paper of your choice, it's a very versatile project.  And I made fairly easy by using "flat pinwheels."  Hope you enjoy this tutorial.
