Simple Table Decoration

Pin It


Hello friends! Happy Friday!!!  I am so happy its Friday...it means two whole days with my man! I just love our family times together and of course our boys love when Daddy is home and ready to play with them.  I hope you all have a great weekend full of fun or relaxation!

Yesterday I was going through some toys and getting things organized for a big kids consignment sale coming up next month.  ( I just love these sales....means I make some $$$ and I find great deals!)    Please forgive the poor quality of photos....my digital camera has to be charged everytime before I use it thus the bad phone pics.

I found this frame that my MIL had passed on a while ago.  I was going to take it to Goodwill but really liked how sturdy the frame was and liked the red color but hated the picture of dalmations.  Now I have nothing against dalmations its just not my taste and would match nothing in our house. 

I also found a metal candle holder that I had stashed away too.  I think I got it at Goodwill a few years ago for super cheap and have always liked it.  In the future, I would love to paint it a bright color. 

Plus my sweet hubby bought me a dozen roses for Valentines and I wanted to display them really nice somewhere.  We hardly ever splurge on stuff like flowers and I want to enjoy them until the last one dies!!

I started by looking in my fabric stash to find some cute green/tan striped fabric that would match the red frame. 

I then unscrewed the back of the frame and taking out the picture inside. 

Then I laid the fabric out how I wanted it, placed the picture on top of it, and cut around it leaving about an inch around on both sides. 

Then I taped it to the picture and placed it back in the frame. 

Place it on the table with the candle holder and my roses and viola a table top little decoration! (Someone please remind me to get a table cloth for my very loved table!)  

Bonus usage:  You could also hang it up and use it for a dry erase board.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Framed dry erase calendar

Happy Saturday! I made this project super quick yesterday and love it.  I found the idea on Pinterest.  There are quite a few different ways to do one but I just loved the cute little owl's on the printable calendar that I found on there.  Here is the completed project:  

For this project you will need:
-11x17 frame
-printer
-printer paper
That's it!

I found my frame at the dollar tree but you can go to walmart and find some for under $10 if you want something fancier.  I was happy only paying $1 but that's just me! lol

I found the printable owl calendar here:  http://anythingbutperfect.com/2011/08/free-printable-fall-2011-calendars/.  She has lots of cute printables and has calendar printables ready up til next February! I also wanted a to do and grocery list at the bottom of mine so I searched Pinterest for that as well.  I wanted to stick with the fall theme and found these which are from the same blog as the calendar: http://anythingbutperfect.com/2011/10/free-printable-fall-friends-to-do-lists/.  My printer is running low on ink so my colors aren't the brightest but I still love it.

Have a great weekend!
