Framed Cards

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.  

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.

To make these framed cards you need:
Cards ($1.00 Each from Michaels)
Frames ($3.99 Each from Target)
Mats ($2.49 Each from Michaels)
Tape
TOTAL= Less then $8.00 per frame, $32 for the set

All I did was tape the cards to the mats and put them in the frames.  Super easy, super cute, and super cheap!

Obsessed!

I put the frames 2.5 inches apart.  I tried other widths but this was my favorite

The Guest Room so far.  I have lots of other ideas for the walls that I can't wait to start!

Quilt: Target

Black and White Stripes

I go to church on Sundays and I love that it give me an excuse to wear cute skirts and dresses.  This outfit works because I am paring a bold pattern (the striped skirt) with a plain bright top.

 Skirt: Nordstrom Rack (bought yesterday for $21)

Shirt: Nordstrom Caslon Elbow Sleeve Ruched Tee in Roco Red

(I love the ruched, it makes you look skinny!)

Shoes: Target

Necklace: Target Clearance 

Watch: Michael Kors

Stripe Painting Made Easy

I have been loving all of the stripes I have seen, and wanted to paint some in my guest room, but I am a bit lazy and hate taping with a passion.  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.

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!

 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

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. 

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