Nothing, absolutely nothing, is on the books for tonight -- and that's so exciting. You'll most likely be able to find Ian and I lounging on the couch watching Dateline and eating take-out. Love it. Tomorrow we will be waking bright and early and heading up to the mountains. We've talked about going skiing or snow tubing tomorrow and I think we're leaning towards the latter.
We've done a lot of work to our home recently, which includes painting the guest bathroom. I can't wait to share pictures with you soon! The color is ... well, full of life. :)
For the wall in that room, I put together a fun project that I thought I'd share.
From family trips to Mexico, I'd built a small collection of these painted tin hearts. I was immediately drawn to them as they reminded me of some of my most favorite Latin American art. Being a Spanish major with a Latin American concentration, I fell head over heels in love with the art of Frida Kahlo. Check her out; an interesting life story and breathtaking art.
In my old apartment, I'd just hung them from the wall in a group, but I wanted something that looked a little more polished for our home.
Enter my friend, the shadowbox.
I scored him 50% off at Michaels.
It was plenty thick to accomodate the width of the tin hearts.
The only issue I had with it was the black felt backing, which looked a little cheap to me and didn't really mesh with the colors of our home.
Burlap to the rescue! I had a small amount in my fabric collection that I'd purchased from the remnants area of Hobby Lobby. I ironed it on a low setting to get the wrinkles out from where it had been folded.
Then I just wrapped the burlap right over the black felt backing and secured it on the back with tape.
From there, I used the pearl pins that came with the shadow box to hang the hearts in the shadowbox.
I'm so happy with how it turned out. Next week I'll give a peek of the guest bath with this new addition and the very lovely new walls!
Love it! You are so adorable...and I feel the same way about this weekend :) -Melissa
