Easiest project ever!! All that is needed is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Pumpkins (fake or real--I used fake because I wanted the white background and wanted to keep them for next year)</li>
<li>Paint (I used Martha Stewart glitter paint because who doesn't love some sparkle?)</li>
<li>Paint Brushes</li>
</ul>
<br />

At first I was going to tape the chevron pattern on, hence the tape in the picture, but I got lazy and decided to free hand it. I also decided a cute polka dot pattern would be cute too!</div>

I think the slit makes it feel a little sexyish (maybe thats a word)-- more so then a normal maxi dress. I was told today that the dress style should be classified as a Greek Goddess dress to which I replied, "Or maybe just a fashionable dress" :)<br />

I have a wall in between my guest room and guest bath that had nothing on it. I decided to spice it up with a little creative arranging. I painted and distressed the cream frames, then arranged then on the floor in a pattern I liked before putting then up on the wall. Now I just need to find a bench to put underneath.</div>

My hubs and I went out to a nice steak/seafood place right on the water on Labor Day. I wanted to wear something cute, still summery but would be sufficient to keep me warm enough when the sun went down. Please excuse the hair... I took this picture when we got home and the ocean breeze was not kind!</div>

I saw a few different variations of this mirror on Pinterst so I decided to try my own and see how it turned out. I wanted to try and do this project for free but ended up buying some spray paint for $3.47 so total cost of the project $3.47!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Supplies:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
30 Paint Sticks (Home Depot or Lowes gives these things away for free!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
An Old Mirror</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hot Glue/Gun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Spray Paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a mirror I already had and all I had to do was unscrew it and put a piece of cardboard glued to the back to make the mirror even to glue the paint sticks on flat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I sprayed it yellow and sealed it and hung it up in my guest room. So cute for so cheap! I think it really makes a statement and takes up wall space!<br />

The thing I love about this outfit is my skinnys. These are "coated" jeans/jeggins that are coated with a sheen to look more like leather/ I love them. This night my husband and I went to see Brian Reagan, a comedian at an outdoor theater, hence the cowboy boots. </div>

The thing I love about this shirt is you could wear it either way, buttons in the back or front. Today I choose back because I was wearing my cute new necklace and didn't want to take away from that. I paired it with my bright pink skinnys, still trying to live each last day of summer! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
TIP OF THE DAY: One tip I always do with wearing skinnys is paring tight pants with a loose top, or vise versa, loose pants with a tighter top. I think this rule of thumb always works and helps bring balance to any outfit.</div>

I LOVE fall fashion. I love the leggings, boots, sweaters, scarfs, and dark nail polish that are only appropriate to wear in the fall. I can't WAIT! Pinterest has become my fashion best friend.<br />

So I saw pinterest that there was a way to spray paint your hardware to get that Oil Rubbed Bronze effect. I love that color and decided to take a go. I took the hardware off, sprayed the color as well as a finishing coat and let it dry for 48 hours before installing. The lady who did this said hers haven't chipped in 5 years so I thought I would use her process. </div>

Overall, I like the look. The hardware on the door handles now kinda has a weird feel. Plus where the tongue and groove part in the door is already stating to chip. So I definitely would not suggest doing your door handles unless they are the hideous brass that needs to go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BUT I would paint the towel rod and toilet paper holder (not pictured) again. Turned out so cute and plus I don't think it will chip! So learn from me and don't regret what you do!!</div>

If you remember in my previous post, I am in the middle of redoing my guest bathroom. One way to really change up a bathroom is to change out the light fixtures. I hated the builder grade one above the mirror and purchased a light fixture and installed it myself! I totally believe everyone can install a light fixture. I went on YouTube and watched a few videos and now I am a PRO!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Light Fixture I purchased from <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Otis-Designs-4-light-Chrome-Crystal-Wall-Sconce/5811472/product.html" target="_blank">Overstock</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeiWD9yLxm0RX8uzj1DSi2iLvsXViiXtSsTxGhPm3HWQNZxVDONae1mxW7xNh_h0ViqWj7hVwHRmXlNvJ9wO9NpbxgxftkRdHbaqf_kqlT9KmFqPgXCoWekE9BOV4DlrgOmeOrqnXApyq/s1600/IMG_0630.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeiWD9yLxm0RX8uzj1DSi2iLvsXViiXtSsTxGhPm3HWQNZxVDONae1mxW7xNh_h0ViqWj7hVwHRmXlNvJ9wO9NpbxgxftkRdHbaqf_kqlT9KmFqPgXCoWekE9BOV4DlrgOmeOrqnXApyq/s400/IMG_0630.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But since I couldn't afford another light fixture for over the toilet, I decided to make my own. I started with a really nasty fluorescent light. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To uninstall I just had to unscrew a few screws and untwist the orange caps keeping the wires together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next I found a crystal light holder at Hobby Lobby for $30!! I used it for decorating a wedding I did a year back and its been sitting with no home. I then went to Home Depot and bough a hanging light fixture kit in Nickel, they have all colors for $14.99. <br />
All I had to do was take out the candle holder center, attach the post of the lamp and affix the hanging chains to the top. Pretty simple!<br />
<br />

Summer Date Night! My husband and I went to this new "Luxury Movie Theater" right by our house called Cinepolis. It was AMAZING!! Full motorized reclining seats, huge arm rests, and a personal waiter who answered to your every want during the movie.

My walls in my guest room have been empty for a long time, I had no idea what to put on them. I needed some inexpensive and cute and finally came up with a really cute idea. </div>
<br />
I found some really cute cards at the Dollar Spot at Michaels that matched the theme of my room and even had some of my favorite bling on them.<br />
<br />
To make these framed cards you need:<br />
Cards ($1.00 Each from Michaels)<br />
<a href="http://www.target.com/p/room-essentials-frame-8x10-white-wood/-/A-13683249#?lnk=sc_qi_detailbutton" target="_blank">Frames</a> ($3.99 Each from Target)<br />
Mats ($2.49 Each from Michaels)<br />
Tape<br />
TOTAL= Less then $8.00 per frame, $32 for the set<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRE6cDuLaAOLm51nA6-M1cE2WFzPtHq36-asrY1rY5o0ownb2-Hgb8D-wh9IyQEmqC0eoWrCWHXzqKcUmFphkuGZ13x_b41RCgP9H1bi_piEN34ktRwjwViVBLCaM1IbpXRfEsZmtZ4g6c/s1600/IMG_0873.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRE6cDuLaAOLm51nA6-M1cE2WFzPtHq36-asrY1rY5o0ownb2-Hgb8D-wh9IyQEmqC0eoWrCWHXzqKcUmFphkuGZ13x_b41RCgP9H1bi_piEN34ktRwjwViVBLCaM1IbpXRfEsZmtZ4g6c/s400/IMG_0873.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
All I did was tape the cards to the mats and put them in the frames. Super easy, super cute, and super cheap!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I put the frames 2.5 inches apart. I tried other widths but this was my favorite</div>

One way to make a hug statement in a room is WALLPAPER!! I love the look of wallpaper but may have gone a little over board in my master bedroom. If I was doing it over again I would of just done one focus wall, like I did in the bathroom. But you live and learn, right??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some tips for DIY Wallpaper:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Make sure you buy pre-pasted, it will make your life so much easier!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. You definitely need a partner to make sure it all aligns correctly, the pattern I used was easy to align </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Make sure you measure correctly to order the right amount, no need to waste money and order more, and you FOR SURE don't want to be short!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Wallpaper always comes in a double roll, so if it is $10 a roll, you can only buy 2 for $20. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. I bought my wallpaper for cheap! <a href="http://www.wallpaperwholesaler.com/" target="_blank">Wallpaper Whole Sale </a>has tons of inexpensive items </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Growing up my dad ALWAYS would wear a denim shirt (usually with jeans also) and I would always make fun of him for it. Well, little did I know that these so called "chambray" shirts would come back in style, but I am not fancy so I call it denim. I can just see my dad gloating knowing he was always in style! </div>

There is nothing worse then builder grade level mirrors in the bathroom... Yuck. So I decided to frame those suckers just like everyone else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Remove the little tabs holding the mirror in place. I have helped many friends do this project and I have never seen a mirror that wasn't glued to the wall, those tabs are just a little extra hold. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWu9cN1xkkraOK_Qo4x1_FtFgKOni8ZrgfbwLgAaC6YkunnUY_vSsUik1RQyR6dyGoOdM3bo877pLBONwOvJgRLsM7Tf1U2be1Mz_LkxRbM_m-yuhNaEbZDptzu7kD7XLUSPqmfmpWOAk/s1600/PB110052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWu9cN1xkkraOK_Qo4x1_FtFgKOni8ZrgfbwLgAaC6YkunnUY_vSsUik1RQyR6dyGoOdM3bo877pLBONwOvJgRLsM7Tf1U2be1Mz_LkxRbM_m-yuhNaEbZDptzu7kD7XLUSPqmfmpWOAk/s400/PB110052.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Next measure out the pieces and decide how you want to proceed. Personally I am not too handy and had the guys at Home Depot cut my pieces for me. I also didn't want to deal with the angle cuts so I used the cheater way of corner pieces and I think it still looks good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhinQBCtHUvFRtj3kzUFB_Yclxn2_bswTguWdYh8-JMhWjLQZjNAJ91zxMh-Il61q2yH5fyMWH8IY0KnrwHg9ZiMRCpkZPP_j0GtU022cqs6Xuv7mVl7nTacOaum6x9rUuMgzHG4vZ64FHY/s1600/IMG_0866.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhinQBCtHUvFRtj3kzUFB_Yclxn2_bswTguWdYh8-JMhWjLQZjNAJ91zxMh-Il61q2yH5fyMWH8IY0KnrwHg9ZiMRCpkZPP_j0GtU022cqs6Xuv7mVl7nTacOaum6x9rUuMgzHG4vZ64FHY/s400/IMG_0866.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Next I stained the wood I bought. I would not recommend this. My next mirror I bought the lightweight white fake wood and painted it. Since it was MUCH lighter, it stuck up there so easy and I didn't need the excessive tape you see in the next picture!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwPD70ZMmlbZIrG0YW-EF6eq5h5ohqD0PMxKSLXV52IHEfSCsVXNbvf8lU14SWnKtqJ8v60XRKqRh8jiKxzZxAYe_KJz-epmLoDzOSueiVTGQjdOFjcledSIGmKe1dutZWm56U_0utOsGJ/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwPD70ZMmlbZIrG0YW-EF6eq5h5ohqD0PMxKSLXV52IHEfSCsVXNbvf8lU14SWnKtqJ8v60XRKqRh8jiKxzZxAYe_KJz-epmLoDzOSueiVTGQjdOFjcledSIGmKe1dutZWm56U_0utOsGJ/s400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Next using Liquid Nails for Mirrors (I didn't use the mirror one the first time and the frame slid right off) Put glue everywhere expect for about 1/2 inch on the edge closest to the mirror. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Start in a corner and put corner piece, press and hold for a few minutes and then move on to the frame, and continue the same process.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Tape it up so it doesn't slide around</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfPF7xd0xEvX9zfRSWom8lrzKY5hDiYb-3_hAbl7pkfvKmggfqca09cQxhZMtRrRuIYPZvDfl5lmu2jyKpy0UDmgEps8N2jNupMHjDzR6bTnzEm_PgQKyEgpv6wsFmbZdf4vgDSaObSnh/s1600/PB120054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfPF7xd0xEvX9zfRSWom8lrzKY5hDiYb-3_hAbl7pkfvKmggfqca09cQxhZMtRrRuIYPZvDfl5lmu2jyKpy0UDmgEps8N2jNupMHjDzR6bTnzEm_PgQKyEgpv6wsFmbZdf4vgDSaObSnh/s400/PB120054.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
7. Finish it off with a sealer and you are done! Such an upgrade!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I wanted to tape as little as possible and came up with a genius, if I do say so myself, solution to only tape once.<br />
<br />
1. Decide what size you want your stripes, then overestimate and freehand painting those stripes on the wall. This may look frightening, but it works!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODKcyGbetiRpx5t1H7FhgweDoSPzZ7ohEKztooabTihAOpPaL0-gxAN38b5CtAeS-kx-Dg9P19t7R7XO-7ip9rICb7eCntBtlSY364_ib79iHEbFY7dlZNRVxkpfaCND0evbO2qmZ4KSJ/s1600/2-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODKcyGbetiRpx5t1H7FhgweDoSPzZ7ohEKztooabTihAOpPaL0-gxAN38b5CtAeS-kx-Dg9P19t7R7XO-7ip9rICb7eCntBtlSY364_ib79iHEbFY7dlZNRVxkpfaCND0evbO2qmZ4KSJ/s400/2-2.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Measure out and tape off your stripes. To make sure they are level, I duct taped my level to a yard stick. Pretty high class<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLiU_kEZ0i53q0BfC-bEinthNauh6duwH3VbwZ1yO4ZGnqqdkmffKvpuL6rIUHh-6P1OyUroDDKHEj8rBVfoy2ASpYjVwE45GhhyphenhyphenkRKsR54my-1ndqWIjKHentsVVQKRM6xGFLvsY2ZsXU/s1600/2-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLiU_kEZ0i53q0BfC-bEinthNauh6duwH3VbwZ1yO4ZGnqqdkmffKvpuL6rIUHh-6P1OyUroDDKHEj8rBVfoy2ASpYjVwE45GhhyphenhyphenkRKsR54my-1ndqWIjKHentsVVQKRM6xGFLvsY2ZsXU/s400/2-1.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Choose a color for the stripes, I used Martha Stewarts Sharkey Grey, its a perfect mix of grey with a brownish undertone to go with my wood furniture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
4. Lastly, my favorite part, peel off the tape and stand back in awe!! Now I just need to fill up those walls.<br />

Boring nothing wall in my dinning room that I had no clue what to fill it with. I then purchased the <a href="http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/moroccan-stencil-pattern-3.html" target="_blank">"Rabbat All Over Stencil"</a> from Cutting Edge Designs and went to work. </div>

1. I had to paint the wall white since I wanted the stencil part to be white and the rest to match my wall color.</div>

2. I started from the bottom and worked my way up. What I learned is to let the paint dry up a bit before you go to the next section. Since the stencil I purchased you had to overlap, if you didn't let it dry, it would smudge all over... Trust me, don't do it!!</div>

The hardest part was bending the stencil to do the tops and sides. I should of waited till the hubs got home because using your 2 hands and 1 foot to hold in place was pretty difucult.</div>

3. Finish up by taking a small paint brush and using the white fill in all of the little slip ups you may have had (Don't worry, we all have them) </div>

The wall then seemed still a little empty so I bought these <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/rhona-round-gilt-mirrors/?pkey=e%7Cmirror%7C77%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C19&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-Sku_Top_Marketing_Rule%7CMirror%20Search%20Term-_-" target="_blank">mirrors</a> from Pottery Barn and these <a href="http://www.kirklands.com/product/FURNITURE/Seating/Seafoam-Parsons-Chair/pc/2285/c/0/sc/2316/160502.uts" target="_blank">chairs</a> on clearance at Kirkland Home.
