How to Recover a Lampshade {step by step. Stained Glass Vase. The last house Paul and I rented had a bold red kitchen and serene sage colored living room walls, it rocked our world! Being a military family, we move so much and rent so often that painting walls is totally out of the question. Within a month of moving out of our colorful Florida abode and into our temporary rental home in NC, we were craving color. I fell in love with two canvas paintings that combined neutrals with a pop of vibrant red.
Hellooo Red! Welcome back into my life! Now that we have our accent color picked out, it's time to accessorize! I have a TON of glassware around the house, my collection of boring clear glass everything doubled after the wedding and rehearsal dinner decorations weaseled their way into my closet. First I started with a vase from one of my rehearsal dinner centerpieces. After washing and drying the vase thoroughly, I taped off the inside with blue painter's tape and rolled up a paper towel to block paint from getting on the inside of the vase. Braided headbands. I am STILL growing my hair out and while I have surpassed the really difficult stage, it seems I am always one bad hair day away from shaving my head.

For some reason, since coming home from the States, I've had a burning desire to get our house in order. I have a few partially completed decorating projects around the place and spent the past week or so getting back into them. The first was this lantern. You see them everywhere - plain white paper lanterns, this one cost me about 1.5€ at IKEA. Pleated tote (beach bag) tutorial.
Before we went away, I decided that a new bag for the beach was a must – something big and roomy to hold books, magazines, sunscreen, hats, and all that other good stuff.
So I made this big pleated tote, and it worked perfectly. This is a picture of it in action: And here’s a little tutorial in case you want to make one for yourself – doesn’t have to be for the beach either, it could come in handy for schlepping all kinds of things around town. Here’s what you need: two pieces of your main fabric cut in shape A four pieces of the top shape (B) in a contrasting fabric two pieces of a lining fabric in shape C one piece of the long rectangle for the strap in the contrasting fabric two pieces of the top shapes (B) and one of the strap in a medium weight interfacing 1) Along the longest (22″) edge of the main fabric pieces, mark along the top at the following intervals: 3″ – 4″ – 6″ – 7″ – 9″ – 10″ – 12″ – 13″ – 15″ – 16″ – 18″ – 19″ 13) And voila, this is what it should look like.
