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!

Vintage Deer Antler with Chevron Fabric

Newest set of antlers are done on a white washed plaque with orange chevron fabric and finished off with cream colored upholstery rope.  The antlers may not be large but they really pop. I think this is my favorite set so far. They're  available on our shop here: Orange Chevron Antlers

On an exciting side note we did our first custom order for a set of antlers!  Someone contacted us saying he loved the blue and faux burlap set we did that I posted about here and he had a little four point that he had been wanting to do something with. He sent us his set and we cleaned it up, cut out a plaque, painted it, mounted it, and added the fabric. Here's the finished result:

If anyone is interested in having us do a set for you just send us a message on Etsy and we would be more than happy to help you have your very own unique set of wall art!

Vintage Mason Jar Vase with Lace

Excited to put fresh cut spring flowers in these vintage blue mason jars. Note the fake flowers because it's not warm enough for spring flowers here yet.
The jars look extra cute wrapped in ecru lace<3

Upcycled Cheese Grater Earring Hanger

We found an old cheese grater and decided to make an earring holder out of it and decorate it with some ecru lace and mustard and ivory fabric rosettes. We attached the flowers to burlap first to give them some stability, then glued that onto the lace.  I think it's pretty adorable. I love the old metal with the delicateness of the ecru lace.
