A Few Things...
I'm knee articulation deep (more similar cervix deep!) inwards a diversity of projects but I wanted to pop inwards in addition to give y'all a piddling peek of what's coming. I oftentimes portion bits in addition to pieces on my Instagram stories of what I'm working on, but I realize that many of y'all mightiness non run across those hence I idea I'd portion here, too.
First up, I told y'all a few weeks agone that I had plans for the shelves inwards the living room. That projection stretched out for close two weeks working off in addition to on when I decided to mitt pigment a pattern on it. It got a chip deadening in addition to I had flashbacks of paradigm the Powder Bath walls, but I'm hence happy alongside how it turned out! Here's a piddling peek. As many of y'all suggested I decided to pigment the mantel white in addition to although I was worried close it beingness also stark against the brick, it's non in addition to I honey it!
I can't hold off to present y'all more, the novel pigment has totally transformed the expect of the living room! I've had the itch to alter a few other things inwards the living room too, hence I bought yards in addition to yards of these fabrics for something new-

in addition to a piddling chip of this happy fabric to throw inwards the mix too. The colors are hence good!
Here are a few tips that inwards the procedure of sharing mightiness give y'all a hint of what I'm doing alongside all of that fabric. Because of i of my projects, all of my drape rods needed an overhaul. This is how I rigged them upwards for easy, all at i time painting. I used some jute rope to hang the rods, leaving the finials unscrewed a chip hence the robe could claw inwards betwixt the finial in addition to the rod. Then, I strung some other occupation in addition to clipped all of the drape rings to it. Some of them didn't have got a clip attached hence a Christmas decoration claw comes inwards handy to claw it to the rope. I'm genuinely sewing my rings on this fourth dimension instead of using the band clips, but I waited until afterwards I painted them to take away the clips.
(our piteous brownish landscape...hurry upwards Spring!)
Speaking of rods, drapery hardware is expensive! I demand genuinely long rods inwards my living in addition to dining areas (like 10-12+ feet) in addition to if you've shopped y'all know that sturdy rods that long terms a fortune. To relieve money, I purchase an unfinished wooden pole from the lumber department at Home Depot. I tin cutting it to just the length I desire in addition to I intend the 12' rod was around $20. You can't vanquish that! Then, I drill holes inwards the terminate in addition to add together the finials I desire to use. I unremarkably role a coupon at Hobby Lobby for the brackets in addition to rings if I demand them (or they have got a expert choice at Home Depot), although I've had most of those things for years in addition to could re-use them this time.
Speaking of finials, I did desire to alter those out to something to a greater extent than substantial than what I had before. These were on clearance for $4.25 at Hobby Lobby, hurry in addition to acquire a pack if y'all demand some!
They are a expert size in addition to although I intend they jibe a 2" rod, my rod is 1 3/8" in addition to they worked fine for it too. The white is the alone color on clearance but I knew I was going to pigment them anyway hence they were fine.
I had a friend on Instagram inquire how the pigment on the rods holds upwards afterwards alongside daily use. I've never had a work alongside it, in addition to if anything the move yesteryear of the rod mightiness acquire a chip worn from the rings sliding dorsum in addition to forth, but mine never genuinely have. And no i tin run across the move yesteryear of the rod anyway if it does!
One to a greater extent than drapery tip that I learned from my friend Emily- When cutting out large pieces of cloth that are all the same (like for curtains, wink wink), mensurate out the length y'all desire to cutting in addition to grade it alongside masking record on the floor. I measured each terminate carefully in addition to used a Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation degree to brand certain my record lines were straight. Then, simply gyre out your cloth in addition to cutting away! I used to mensurate every piece alongside a measuring tape, I can't say y'all how much faster in addition to easier this is (and why had I never idea of it before???). I neglected to have got a nonetheless film but here's a hide shot from the video clip I shared on Instagram, lamentable for the piteous character but y'all acquire the gist. (You can't run across the other terminate of the record but it extends out across the left side of the cloth too.)
Lastly, I in all probability won't hold out doing a Five Fri Favorites post this week, but I wanted to portion this Bamboo Ark Bag before also much longer! It's been super pop lately in addition to I can't hold off to role it this Spring in addition to Summer. The designer version tin sell for hundreds of dollars, hence this i is a steal coming inwards around $40.
It comes inwards two dissimilar sizes, modest in addition to large. Mine is the large, I wanted to brand certain that I could jibe all of my necessities in, but the modest would have got in all probability been fine for a slim wallet, phone, in addition to modest cosmetic bag. The character is really expert in addition to I was super impressed yesteryear the packaging- they fifty-fifty threw some sweetness freebies inwards similar a modest scarf to necktie on in addition to a few other things. It's packaged hence nicely that this would hold out perfect to ship take to mortal equally a gift!
It's super cute plainly or necktie on a scarf to complement your outfit. The slats are really unopen together hence I wouldn't worry close anything falling out (I hateful a credit carte du jour mightiness if it's loose inwards your bag, but a pen wouldn't), but I computer program to role a few modest bags within to comprise the contents (like these!- Hobby Lobby has some cute sets).

(My kids were variety of enthralled yesteryear it when they saw it sitting on the table... "What is that?" H5N1 purse. "Are y'all going to role it?" YES! "It looks similar Noah's Ark." (which I idea particularly hilarious considering the lift of the pocketbook which my kids had no clue about... ha!)
