Okay, wacky wall is done.

With the heart frame set up of last night, I had to redo the teeny skinny wall, and here it is.

I made the sign, can you tell?

Rearrangement

So as it usually goes, I have rearranged, which means I have an empty space I need to fill, so what will be my next project?  Hmmm...  No matter, here is what I did tonight!!!

 I moved these from my "game area."  See the undulate painting is gone?  My friend Davida made the mistake of telling me she liked it...  So it went home with her.
 Blank canvas.
 Tons of pictures.
 That's the latest empty space I need to fill...  I found a cool quote about brothers that may need to be placed there...
 Uh oh...  Wrapping paper time!!!
 Do you see it?  No?  HAHAHAHA!!!
 I don't need the grid, I just need a heart shape.  So I took a Sharpie and drew one out.
 Started hanging the pictures...
And then filled in the heart.  What do you think?

Coffee bar... NOW DONE!!!

Except for the Keurig...  It's in the mail.

 Finished my recycled magazine/cardboard and Dollar Tree mirror sunburst mirror...
And the pictures all developed.

Facebook Post

So I got greeted to Facebook today from a post in a mommy group I'm part of.  Rebecca is somewhere in Canada, and this cracks me up!!!

Rosco Lee McGhee has inspired me to be a little bolder with my home decorations. I had to buy a new shower curtain and bath mat (not exciting) and as I'm going to grab the neutral beige ones, I ask myself "what would Rosco do????" I ended up grabbing the curtain with the adorable yet bright frogs and matching mat. Thanks Rosco!! You are my inner Martha (without the convictions)


So am I a trend starter?  HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I *heart* Sailor Jerry

 So I was watching Ink Master the other night, and B actually sat and watched it with me.  CHAMP!!!  But they were talking old American tattoos, and you know I love me my Sailor Jerry tattoos.  So I was like hmmm...  A red wall...  What if I just did simple outlines of Sailor Jerry inspired pieces?  YES!!!  And seeing as how this will be a REAL coffee bar once I get my Keurig, OH IT'S ON!!!  So above you see the SH SH SHARK!!!  Did that one for B.  Love the anchor, and my friend Jaymie does, too.  Her hubby is a sailor!!!  And my horse shoe.
 My swallow, "R", navigational star and skull...  They are wacky and imperfect, but I love them.
 I used my Starbucks Christmas ornaments, and made me a coffee bar sign...
 I tie dyed coffee filters for the background.
I will do more fun Starbucks inspired pics.  I will keep Ro and Ivan and MAYBE the fun Super Hero pics. And B has asked how long this will stay, he claims if the house fell down, this wall is so painted it'll be left standing.  HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Reorg and Repurpose!

If you know us, you know our bar is called the "crap drop."  No matter how I reorg, it overflows.  So I've been thinking...  And rethinking...  And then I was like BING!!!

 FYI, Starbucks inspiration is gone...
 I bought these baskets at Lowes YEARS ago to store our DVD's at the old house, they've since just been hanging out in the laundry room wastefully holding cleaning supplies.
 That's the crap heap...
 So with 2 bulldogs, you can get this...
 SEEEEE!!!
 And look what comes back into the mix!  The bowl I made for B, well...  Before we were even married, I believe.
AND HERE YOU GO!!!
