Fall Ombre

I’ve been inspired by all the ombre trends I’ve seen lately.

I haven’t been able to get this great dress from Project Runway out of my head.
So, I decided to translate all this inspiration into an idea of my own:

Here’s how I did it:

I picked up 3 bunches of fall flowers at HL.

I enlisted some help to pull the petals apart.

Then we cut each one in half.

I drew my B on a piece of plywood and used a jigsaw to cut it out.

Somebody thought it needed sanded before I spray painted it.

Then I started gluing on petals, using my hot glue gun.  I started at the bottom since i wanted them to overlap each other.

I switched to the brown about 1/3 of the way up, and then gold for the last 1/3.

I used a golden ribbon to hang it by the front door.  C’mom fall!

Another giant B

I love words.  And letters. 

Needless to say, that means that I’m loving all the subway art I’ve seen recently. (Exhibit A: my header.  Exhibit B:  the morning chore reminder.)

While curly, swirly monograms aren’t my favorite, I am also in love with all the modern, giant letters I see showing up on Pinterest.  (Follow me here.)

So, when our local HL ran chipboard letters for about 50% off, I grabbed a 10-inch ‘B’ for $1 and a skein of grey yarn.  One episode of PR later, I had this:

grey yarn B

So easy, so cool.  It’s the perfect touch to our updated (read as "new shower curtain and a print”) yellow, grey and aqua bathroom.
