Dining room and other projects

Quilt fabrics for the quilt I will be making with Mandy and Jane! I hope M likes it!! I'm loving the vibrant colors that will work in M's room and the living room for playtime!


Home office wall art! I had been searching for inexpensive art with turquoise and black, but came up empty-handed! So, I tried my hand at the embroidery hoop method I have seen several places online. SUPER easy and cheap! All you need is fabric, scissors, hoops and a glue gun. It totally works with the whole modern/mod vibe we went with in this room.
Before: a few things had already been removed from the room, but it was still really blah

After! I went bold with the wall color, but after a few days of shock, I love it! It is so happy and makes everything pop! It really makes the crown molding pop, too! My dining, living and kitchen all tie together well, now!

No-sew curtains: 3 yards toile + 1/2 yard houndstooth check (used iron-on hem tape for the bottom of the houndstooth check and just clipped the rest to the rings!) EASY!!! I cheated and didn't even hem the rest of it!
