Inspired by Flower Patch Farmgirl

Once I saw Flower Patch Farmgirl’s post, I knew I wanted to try this. I needed a break from being on the computer and watching TV. So this was the perfect solution!

Now all I had to do was find something pretty to cut up. I then remembered that I had books from Sabrina Ward Harrison that I bought a few years ago. Without any hesitation, I torn out my favorite pages. It was either making my wall pretty or just keeping the books stored in the closet. I chose to make my walls pretty of course!

I didn’t have a heart punch so I went with the manual method of folding and cutting heart shapes myself. I put them together and taped it together on the front and back. Once I finished that, Tyler hot glued the pennies on for me.

Now I wanted these to go up on the wall where there is an intercom which makes it kind of hard to decorate around an intercom. So that’s why that wall has been neglected until now. So anyway, we did it the old fashioned way and taped them to the wall since they were not that heavy. After all…a penny weighs somewhere between 2 to 3 grams.

This project only cost me 15 cents….sweet!!! ;)

I’m crazy about polka dots so when I came across these napkins from Paper Source, I knew I had to buy them! The color’s just perfect for spring.

I wanted to use them immediately and not just use them as napkins, so I decided to use them as plate mats.

Please ignore the winkly lines! I plan on ironing them but got too excited and wanted to take pictures before it got dark outside. It looks lovely with my Kate Spade china which I absolutely loooove!

We still have to get around to doing our dining room. Heck, our dining table isn’t even a dining table at all! Believe it or not, it’s a desk from IKEA that we bought when we were tight on money a few years ago. I consider it as a placeholder until we get around to doing our dining room.

There’s way too many things on our “house” list and it’s hard trying to figure out what to do first, second, third and so on. It’s all good, we’ll be living here for a while!
