Guys, I’ll admit this..I haven’t felt much inspiration lately. It is that awkward time in the Texas “fall” when the calander says October/FALL. But the temp gauge says 90 degrees and up. My desire to wear jeans, cords, long sleeves and tights is going hard. But I can’t. I would suffocate in this heat.. I’m in a funny state of mid season…I’ll get over it, but bear with me, PLEASE! Until then, we’ll focus on some other stuff. Including this DIY that I’ve been meaning to share FOREVER!!!
As you know, this whole year I’ve been redoing our apartment to fit “our” style, budget, and karma. This has included both bathrooms. Our master bath got a new color scheme of Black, Light Turquoise and Red. (it needed to flow with our master bedroom which is black, white, and bright blue).
I had this great Ikea UNG DRILL frame and knew I wanted to use it on a small wall for maximum effect. Previously, I found an frame/wall decor at Target that would have been PERFECT, thinking I could recreate it, I took a cell picture of it. When I finally got around to remaking it, the picture was GONE! I was heartbroken, but decided to wing it!
Supplies:
- White Poster board
- Scissors
- Exacto knife
- Elmer’s Glue Stick
- 4 Sheets of Scrapbook paper
- Red Craft Paint
- “LOVE” sparkly sticker
I took the backing off the frame and traced it onto the poster board. Then cut out the oval. I laid out my scrapbook paper. I had to use 4 sheets all lined up.
I glued them all to the poster board then turned it over and set shoe boxes on it to make sure it stuck. After about 30 minutes, I used an exacto knife to cut off the excess paper on the side of the oval. The seams of the paper are extremely unnoticeable.
I didn’t want it to look too perfect, so I finger painted a heart on the middle.
After it dried, I stuck the “Love” sticker directly in the middle of the heart and put it all back in the frame!
This is now the pretty print that hangs in our bathroom! It was an easy DIY that cost about $8 vs $25 for that first target print I saw.








Dinner consisted of wings,chips, salsa, brownies, and beer. I stayed in the master to watch a juicy episode of Gossip Girl. Hubs was nice enough to take these pics for me before the game started. Thanks, hun! He was already happy because he won in Fantasy Football from Sunday. Something I will never understand. Can we have a fantasy leauge for Fashion Week?! Someone jump on that..
