Random Projects

I am still working on a couple house projects at the moment, but I thought I would share a couple that I completed recently... you know just to keep your attention and keep ya coming back to visit us! ha!

I wanted an aqua mixer SO bad for the longest time, but the color just wasn't a very practical choice. Especially since I like to change things up often. I asked for a white one for Christmas and figured I could just dress it up with a fun decal in my favorite color! That way if I get sick of the decal I can just take it off! While browsing Marshalls I found some vinyl shelf liner that had a fun chevron print in my favorite color! I had to get it and had my mixer in mind when I bought it. I'll probably use the extra liner for more projects, just not sure what yet exactly...

I finally got around to adding the vinyl to it and I think it came out pretty good! One of my sweet friends, Reagan is sending me a monogram decal to go on it as well, which I'm pretty excited about! :)
Another project I finished recently is lining our living room/sitting room drapes with greek key ribbon. Since I'm sewing challenged, I chose the no-sew option with these using some Heat N Bond Ultrahold tape.  It was a simple way to add a little something to our drab linen drapes. I think it works well in the room!

*sorry for the poor quality pics :)
If anyone is interested, I got the ribbon trim at Joann's. Here is the info. for them!
I'm working on a roman shade for our kitchen, organizing our office and fixing up a coffee table I bought at a thrift store! More to come, soon!

    I absolutely love the greek key detail on the curtains! I am in love with anything with greek key detail! I may have to steal this idea (too)!

    I love your mixer decal.

    There is a coffee table I'm eyeing at a thrift store, but I'm so cheap I can't even bring myself to spend $50. It's been there a while so I know it will get marked down soon. Then I will pounce. haha

    I have so many projects going on in my head and I can never seem to find the exact pieces I'm looking for to complete them.
