Work is crazy-busy right now, so the 10 blog posts I have written in my head are going to have to wait a little longer. I did manage to find a little time for some personal crafting, whipping up this Pinterest-inspired wreath for my newly painted front door.
I found the tutorial for fabric rosettes on Little Birdie Secrets. Once you get the hang of twisting the fabric, it's a quick and easy project. The wreath was hiding in my attic and all the fabric was from previous projects, so this project cost me nothing.
I think it looks great on my new bright blue door! Our black door bugged me from the day we moved in, but this new color makes me smile every time I pull into the driveway.
I can't say it looked as good on my dog... or as pawprints on my hardwood floors, oriental rug, or tiled kitchen!
With some elbow grease, and a little help from a neighbor, I was able to get it all up. Although the dog still looks a little smurf-like. :)
It looks great! LOL about the smurf dog!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! So glad you got the paint off of everything else, well, except the dog!!
ReplyDeleteI love your door. It is wonderful that you found a shirt to match it.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks incredible!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!! Our new house is white with black shutters and door and I'm thinking our door will need a fun color too. Red maybe?
ReplyDeleteNow, my only question is...where is the adult book to go along with this project? :)
That does look really nice.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I think you should paint it a different color every year. That would be a hilarious story for the neighborhood. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty. A wreath has been on my to-do list for the past 5 years...maybe I'll give this a try. And that blue dog is just hilarious. :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny about your dog. Love it. I think the wreath turned out great and I LOVE the color of your door.

ReplyDeleteLove your wreath! just adorable!! I found myself @ the fabric store today, inspired myself to make one. :) Found you on pinterest!
ReplyDeleteI noticed (and loved) the blue door immediately even before reading the post. Looks splendid. Was your dog trying to be extra helpful?
ReplyDeleteLove the impact with the blue door! I wrote a tutorial on how to make a wreath from different types of vines in the garden and featured yours as a great way to dress it up. http://gardentherapy.ca/diy-grapevine-wreath/
