Valentine's Day art

I saw this pretty DIY on A Beautiful Mess and loved the idea of using the vinyl stickers as a pattern.
So on Sunday I made this. So easy. Added bonus-- no pressure of making my letters perfect.

supplies used
press on vinyl letters from the hardware store
2" Gesso brush
Pro Art gesso
Stretched Canvas {16x20}
Primary Red Acrylic Paint
a freestyle Liquitex brush because i thought it looked fun. and now I think this brand is my new favorite.

are you making anything for Valentines day?
Look at these cute {FREE} posters you can download from Oh Happy Day. I just printed one at Staples as an engineer print. 

I made this mini book last year.

dreams and reality.

what I bought this week-

this adorable decal

for our new gray walls 

carpet in the house!

it's Mark Twain House Ombra Gray from Valspar

it's probably the nerd in me but I love all of their historical paint.

the trim is going to be Woodlawn Dewkist.

boots from uo

crazy good sale.

what I wish I bought:

frame wallpaper for the nook

vintage plaid mini dress

a haircut.

Happy Wednesday!

new house: kitchen

ok, I have the hardest time in the world making decisions.

especially huge decisions like paint color.

although I must say my grout pick for the bathroom is awesome.

our kitchen before tile

kitchen after

1. i love our new tile.

2. that wallpaper is coming down asap! ditto for the clock.

3. our little dining nook is going to be 10 kinds of cuteness.. 

I really like gray walls.

and these curtains

I have thing for these knife and fork prints

and our table could be identical with a coat of paint

my mam-maw had these in her kitchen for my entire existence.

hers were plain wood though.
