You know, there is this thing called Pinterest.  I have got to tell you I am addicted.  It is usually a late night guilty pleasure.  Before, I used my favorites bar on my computer to store all the great ideas I found on the web.  Now, I have pinboards for that and lots of them.  Soooo many ideas, so little time is even more true now.  Luckily, I had some time to finish up one of those great ideas I found for Ella room.

A ribbon valance for her windows

I love the vintage/shabby chic feel it gives the room

The best part is it was super easy!  Just some jute and scrap fabric torn in strips tied onto it. 

lamp makeover

This plain Ikea lamp was in desperate need of a little oomph.

I'm thinking a little feminine touch with burlap.  Burlap is an addiction of mine. I just love the color and slightly rough texture.  This process is so simple. Just cut strips of burlap and tie it around the shade. This is my favorite kind of craft project. High impact with little effort

All tied off in bows adds just enough flair.

Here is halfway and I just love the look so far.

The way the light shines through the burlap is lovely.

Isn't she a beauty?

Ok just check out the before and after:

Quite a difference huh? The best part is it can just be untied and restyled using the same shade.

I created something new for the laundry room entry.  It was hard to decide what to do with the blank wall, but this should make for a good start. The best part is it didn't cost a dime.

All it took was a printable on regular paper

I cut some burlap I already had one hand using a frame I stashed in the closet. Easy enough when you use the paper it is packaged with as your template.

I trimmed the edges of the bird print with my paper cutter and used double stick tape to hold it and the burlap.
