Stylish Girlie Wardrobe at a Fraction of the Price!
I've finally been inspired as a result of all the casa makeover posts to get up off my bum and do something!
My friend is moving house and as a house warming gift I thought us girls could club together and make her a gorgeous girlie wardobe- Laura Ashley inspired, Ikea+Ebay purchased!
I found a wardrobe for £99 at Ikea.
DIY jewelry tree branch
A lot of my design inspiration comes from nature, and tree branches are the easiest way to bring earthy elements to your home. West elm has jumped on this bandwagon, along with a hand full of other retailers. (click to enlarge my inspiration board below)
I am a HUGE accessories freak.
Ginger Glass: Garden Art: A work completed
With Pluckin' Joyful now complete, I've begun the process of translating Ginger Glass from digital illustration to traditional media. Once completed she will be the queen of The Slate Garden Gallery, providing a visual bridge between her sisters, The Farmer's Wife [patio privacy screen] and Pluckin' Joyful.
As is usual, I am working from sketches and digital mock-ups.
"New" Dining Room
This all started because I wanted a change in my dining room, and after coming across Damien Hirst's Valium online I knew it would be perfect for my dining room. The only problem... the $20,000 price tag for a print.
Garden Art: Say Cheese: Complete
Who said I don't have a sense of humor...
This whimsical, pop art styled cheese burger is the latest, and final addition to our patio.
Say Cheese...
Pomme d'Amour: Garden Art: A work completed
With most of our major projects now complete, my husband and I have been spending quite a lot of time on our patio and he's been continuing to encourage me to add another piece of artwork to the set, telling me that the space between our storage fridge and the grill "seems a bit too bare".
After due consideration I agreed with him and we've been discussing the theme of the painting over the course of the last few days. Given that the primary use of the space is to be an outdoor dining room and entertainment area, I thought that a still life of vegetables and fruit might be the most appropriate and that the subject would balance well with The Farmer's Wife privacy screen.
Before, During and After: The Slate Garden Gallery
With our patio project completed, my husband and I were more than encouraged to spruce up the rest of the yard behind our house. This is, more or less, a work in progress but we have made significant strides. The final intent of the space as a whole goes well beyond it being a rather lovely outdoor area to relax and entertain.
Pluckin' Joyful: Garden Art: Complete
If you've been following along in the VAFF or Su Casa groups, you already know that my husband and I have been actively engaged in a HUGE Garden and Patio Makeover project. Part of the Patio Project included creating a privacy screen, cut down to 6' wide by 4' high, from an 8' x 4' sheet of plywood. That 4' by 2' piece has now been put to work and used as a substrate for additional garden art, mountd on the wall of the work shed that my husband built in the summer of 2007.
Coaster project
I saw the DIY about the map coasters and I thought it was a great idea! I just got a set of coasters from my grandma that weren't really my style, so I went to Michael's to find some scrapbooking paper that looked like an old map...but I couldn't find any! So I got some that looked like old postcards instead.
