Spring Wreath

I took a wreath purchased at Goodwill for $1.99 and transformed it to my liking. I bought some flowers at the Dollar Tree and used some left over ribbon from my Christmas wreath. The letter "R" I also had.

Materials used:

Wreath ($1.99 @ Goodwill)
Flowers ($2)
Ribbon (already had)
Letter (already had)
Paint (already had)

Tools Needed:

Scissors
Paint brush
Hot glue gun
Twine

BEFORE

I removed the ribbon, white flowers, and greenery. I kept the purple flowers because I felt they looked well paired with the flowers I bought.

Next, I started cutting flowers from the stem then hot gluing them onto my wreath.

Then, started painting my letter gray and when dried I then placed in the center of my wreath. Hot glued in place.

Finally, comes the the ribbon. I don't know about you but I was struggle when trying to make a bow...So I have found a way to cheat in making it. I make each individual loops, ribbon ends, and center then hot glue all together and VOILA a perfect bow.

Glam Your Laundry Room

Accessorizing Your Laundry Room
Although, it may seem like the laundry room is the least important room in the house,
I wanted mine to shine. I felt the need to accessorize it, paint it, and make it glamorous
that way it would make doing laundry more FUN! Just a theory of mine. It's just about complete, still need a counter top on top of washer and dryer and a hook for my ironing board.

My laundry room walls started off with just a Milk Chocolate paint, it was a Pinterest pin that inspired me to do more from the blog dancingcommas. I instantly fell in love with the herringbone design. I had some blue tape and some paint that I had got FREE from a garage sale. So, I started rummaging through the paint and found the right combo for my herringbone wall.

Now, that my wall is complete (and by the way still loving it!), I needed to start putting things back and get the look together. I decided that my accent colors would be a hot pink and a silver metallic. I found small flower vases at a thrift shop, I think I paid  $1 for two. Then, I filled with fake flowers from the Dollar Tree. My Frame is from Home Goods and the white floating shelf got at a garage sale for $1. But the shelf wasn't so great on the floating part, so I bought brackets (on sale) from my favorite store TARGET. They also add the metallic look I was going for, so a win-win.

  

My laundry room is not very large, so I need to maximize on the space I do have. I have my iron in a rack I got at IKEA. I think it was to place iron and ironing board, but my ironing board is too big. But it does the trick. My ironing board at the moment is just leaning against the wall.
