DIY Monogram Welcome Sign Chalkboard

May 16, 2014


I have such an easy decorating idea for you today.  You may already be familiar with this and some other DIY gilded chalkboards I made a while ago.  And all the ways I've used it thus far to add just the right touch to my faux mini-mantle when it's needed that extra sumptin-sumptin around certain holidays. 

For Christmas:




And most recently for Easter:




The word for the day is V-E-R-S-A-T-I-L-E. 

Well, I've just gone and added a new look to it.


Nothing fancy.  Just plain old Welcome.  And a capital "A" for our family name initial.  And you can never go wrong with that boxwood wreath.  I think this works well for us right now as we try and make the house welcoming but not too "personal" for prospective buyers.  You can see where I copied the font from here.


I tried the look with some of my myrtle topiaries, which I love!  You can see where I talk about them here.

I really do love experimenting with vignettes on my faux mini-mantle of sorts.  I think this one is my favorite so far.


Which one is YOUR favorite?

Myrtle Topiaries and Kitchen Counters

August 9, 2013

 
I've been in love with myrtle topiaries for like, forever. You see them in all those yummy photo shoots of farmhouse kitchens. And I wanted one for myself. A real one.
 
But they were always too expensive.  Recently I was lucky enough to find one for a reasonable price at, of all places, an antique mall.   
 
And here she is.
 
 
Don't you just love the mossy clay pot?  I placed her on a silver stand for effect.
 
What do you keep on your kitchen counters?  I don't have a very green thumb at all but for some reason I really felt the need to go with this.
 
I added a vintage, chippy lamp to the mix and I was hooked. 
 

My baby tears is still gong strong, too.


I also added in my Goodwill faux boxwood topiary as well as my Antique Farmhouse boxwood wreath hanging in the window.
 
I think it creates a warm feeling that you can only accomplish with the green stuff.
 
What do you think?
