Vintage Frame Turned Chalkboard

We finished another chalkboard! This one is my favorite (but I'm always partial to pink)

So adorable! It's always nice to see what a little bit of paint can do to spice up an old piece.  I can just see this in a little girl's room.

Bunting

Like I said....a bunting spree. We made 4 today.

 1. Rustic fun theme - Burnt orange chevron and linen Listed here

2. Summer theme - white and yellow.  The yellow is from a vintage tablecloth. Listed here

3. Nautical theme - blue and white, linen, and a printed anchor Listed here

4. Mustache modern theme - classic black and white with a twist of chevron fun.  The mustaches are printed with fabric paint. Listed here

I just can't decide which one is my favorite.  Will probably put some  f these on our shop, I'll link to them if we do.  If you like our work or would like some custom bunting, just comment or send us a message on our shop!

Printed mustache Bunting

My mom and I have officially gone on a bunting spree!
It started off with a custom order for another mustache bunting.  I had done one with sewn on fabric mustaches (very time consuming) so this time I opted for fabric paint mustaches.  So. Much. Easier.

If you haven't seen the wonderful trick of freezer paper you're missing out.  Basically you trace your design on the freezer paper (on the dull side) then you take a razor blade and cut the shape out, iron the stencil onto your fabric, sponge on the paint, peel off the paper and let it dry.

Crate Crazy!

My favorite finds are always crates, but the question becomes what do you do with these crates when you get them home? Here are some ways my mom and I thought to use some crates we had laying around.

Long thin ones look cute with jars and bottles in them to make cute center pieces or silverware caddies

Divided soda crates and soda bottles can make a cute table decoration, too. We came up with this:

But I can also picture this as a cute way of displaying place cards at a wedding.

They also look cute just stacked and decorated like little mini bookshelves

Or make a cute pillow, add legs, and make a pet bed!

We're also in the process of making a crate into a raised foot stool with a padded hinged top!
