This weeks lovin

So I've had that feeling lately..... like I want to paint every single wall in my house and get some really awesome things to hang on the wall.... this feeling was bound to show up sooner or later.... afterall, we have live here for a-year-and-a-half!

I am in love with subway art right now! I'm going to attempt to make a "family rules" sign for our living room.

Of course I'm still loving this Amy Butler fabric. My comforter is screaming for a duvet cover so maybe.... just maybe I could sew a few straight lines and have myself a new comforter. Easier said than done... Joel told me that the seams that I sew are more crooked than an Illinois politician! Hey Joel, what about Aaron Schock?!?! He's not a crooked politician!

I'm sorry I don't have a source for this.... I have no idea where I found it but... I must have one.:)

I'd love to make one of these Pottery Barn knockoff growth charts in the kid's room. We tried marking Norah's height the other day(on a 2x4 in the furnace room) and she was less than impressed. We never did get her height marked....

If my first "subway art" sign turns out, I'll make a couple more. I'd love to have the "fruits of the Spirit" on a sign for the kids' room and I think I need this verse for my room;

³⁵ So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. ³⁶ You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. ³⁷ For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.”^[f] Hebrews 10:35-37

I think these letters would look great in a playroom! I just love the different fonts and that button for the letter "o" is so cute. At $175 per set, I think I'll try buying plain letters and painting them myself.

Of course I'm still lovin me some iced coffee! Have you tried the recipe I posted way back when? If not, give it a try. Recipe posted here.

So, I'll let you know how these projects turn out. I also have a couple before/after pictures I'd like to share. We refinished a dresser and a little rocking chair for the kids. More on that later.

My BFF Stella is flying in today to spend a week with us. I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I have been counting down the days until her arrival since May! It's going to be a really great week.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
