latest projects

my sister in law, kadi, gave me this great idea to cover a canvas in fabric for my bedroom last summer. so i found some fabric that i was in love with and stapled it to a 24x36 canvas and hung it on my wall. voila! ...instant color and fun added to our room.


i recently bought some coordinating fabric to make a few throw pillows for our bed. here's my first completed pillow...


that nightstand on the left side of the bed i painted last spring. my friend, lindsay, literally had to hold my hand while i picked out paint and primer and handles and then painted it all. i totally love the way it turned out. here's how it all looks together (ollie saw me taking pictures and just had to hop in)...


and here's ollie because he's so cute...

SO cute, Whit! We've never had anything over our bed because I'm afraid of it falling on me, but that canvas would be just right. . . not too heavy.

The colors in your room are really cute! Love it!

Who would have thought?! I love that canvas idea-and will probably steal it for our new house....
