Color

I really love color. It makes me happy. My house is slowly becoming a hodgepodge of color. Whenever I start a new project I always think of a new color I want to use... so basically my house isn't color coordinated but not-matching is totally in right now, right? Right? 

Here is a chalkboard I made months and months ago (I'm really good at posting on this blog... obviously... *sheepish face*). Isn't it great? I love how big it is. It was originally intended to help my menu planning endeavors but since I just painted directly over a textured painting, it isn't the greatest at erasing... so I just leave it be. I still love it. Also, this is one of the aforementioned wall hangings in my kitchen/dining area.

See, here is what it looks like over my table.

Here are my coral and white curtains (also made months and months ago). I usually get sick of prints pretty quickly (as far as home decor goes) so I wanted these to mostly be solid with only an accent of a print in the hopes that I wouldn't get sick of them within 6 months. So far so good. I still love them. Also, half-off sales are the only way to buy home decor fabric. That stuff ain't cheap (or maybe I just am...).

Does anyone else have a really hard time photographing curtains?

Lastly (for now), is this awesome pillow cover I made only a few weeks ago (surprised it wasn't months ago? me too). If you saw this post you may have caught a glimpse of it in the background. Cute huh? I attached a doily to some mustard yellow fabric and had instant craft gratification.

Exposed What?

Over a month ago I made a pillow for my couch. And I'm just barely blogging about it... cause I'm lazy.

Pretty cute as is, right?

But wait a second... what is on the other side? An exposed zipper?! 

Nice! (I promise the pillow isn't as lumpy as it appears... there is a down pillow form inside that I didn't take the time to properly plump up.)

I got the idea from the awesome Freshly Picked blog. She even has a tutorial if you want to copy. Anyone else love the exposed zipper trend going on? I'm thinking of making a skirt with an exposed zipper down the back. It is really cute in my head but we'll see if I'm able to make it as cute as I imagine.
