Good morning!  I hope that you are having a great week so far.  Please go check out my latest review and giveaway at Tatertots and Jello.

Today, I want to show you a cute little project that I have in my daughter’s room.

This is an easy project that anyone can do.  It would look great in most rooms including a bathroom, entry way, laundry room, master bedroom or daughters, room!

You will need….

a picture frame (or multiple)

ribbon

staple nail gun

I used 3 frames like this one.

Then cut some ribbon.

Staple it to the back of the frame.

Cut another piece of ribbon and tie it into a bow over the other ribbon.

Like this.

Then hang then it from a nail or screw.

I have three in a row in my daughter’s room.

This is how it looks.

    

          

This is a really EASY project that anyone can do!  I feel like is adds so much to her room.  It is so cute and girly!!!

You can do this with any frame and any ribbon.

What do you think?

Have a great day!!!

Bonnie :)

Volunteer Tomato PlantsJune 25, 2010
We've had a fair amount of warm days followed by rain in the afternoon and evenings mixed with rainy days.  The combination has seen weeds sprout up on the garden paths so they are getting to the point of needed to be cleared again.  A couple of days ago I noticed two volunteer tomato plants on one of the paths and there is another one in the first raised bed.

Road DaylilyJune 24, 2010
The large clump of road daylilies are in bloom, waving gracefully in the breeze.  These are a common daylily here quite often found growing wild in ditches and along farm fences.  As such they tend to be fairly common daylilies in many home gardens.  Most daylilies are rather problem free, low maintenance garden plants that naturalize easily.  The road daylily is perhaps

Burlesque DayliliesJune 24, 2010
The Burlesque daylilies are in full bloom now putting on a lovely show.   They are in with the Stella d'Or daylilies and their numbers have increased over the last couple of years.  The Stella d'Or daylilies were fewer this year with only a couple appearing.  I don't know if they have hybridized with the Burlesque or this just wasn't a good year for them.

Happy

I looked high and low for horseradish for the garden unsuccessfully at all the local nurseries.  I even tried the local grocery stores for horseradish root in the produce section hoping I could plant it.  I had had success a few years ago with a piece of horseradish root that grew in the house for awhile.  A kind soul on one of the groups I followed suggested I check out Richters.  Richters Herbs

Things are progressing nicely in the garden.  I am still planting but that is normal for the square foot garden method.  I have a lot more vegetables and herbs planted in containers this year.  This does seem to be the year of dealing with various insects and their damage but with the wild rabbits mysteriously absent there is no large scale damage so far. 

I only have one zucchini plant this

Earwigs (Forficula auricularia) are a common sight in many gardens.  They are attracted to damp locations so can be found under plants, in mulch and anywhere else damp like decaying vegetable matter.  Earwings are more of a nuisance indoors.  Despite their appearance earwigs aren't harmful to humans.  There is the old wives' tale that earwigs get into your ears when you are sleeping and while it

Having a baby is probably the most wonderful news for the parents, and it comes with a lot of preparation and anticipation. I have some wonderful ideas for parents who would love to do up a room for their baby. Because the design and color of the room would be soo vastly different for a baby girl or boy, I am taking it in different posts.

In this post I bring to you some beautiful ways to do up the room. I have done a post before..check it here; here I am showing some designs for a baby GIRL :D They are so precious the little ones that any amount of trouble is still little compared to the joy they bring.


What more could be more girlie than pink and pretty flowers. This is so beautiful with butterfly and flowers and lovely shades of pink to it. Go all out and pick up the favourite bits of fabric and design your own room with a little inspiration for this.



Since pink is a choice by default for all little girl's room. How about using some more colors for a different look. This design is just that with the brown color on furniture, the brown butterfly print shows up beautifully. The green is so refreshing . In all a beautiful way to do up a room for a little cutie.

















Having posted on ways to do up your little princess room I have to do another for the apple of your eye too; one for the little blue eyed boys :) Watch out for it.

That was a before and after picture of my downstairs powder room.   I decorated this bathroom for CHEAP!!!

I not totally done with it, but I am happy for now. 

One of the things that I still want to do is to add molding around the mirror.  Do you think that I should go white or black???

I guess that I will start off with  my curtain and rod.

I actually made this curtain with fabric that I already had……FREE!  The rod was brand new from the Goodwill for $5.  (It is originally from Target.)

Here is a better look.

 

I got this holdback on Clearance from Wal-Mart for like $7 (and it came in a pack of 2, so I get to use another on some where else.)

 

These rings were a little more than I wanted to spend….they were $10 from Linens n Things.  I really wanted the big rings!

  

This wall clock was only 5 bucks from a garage sale.

I got these flowers for $3- GS.

Because we save some much on decorating our house by finding EVERYTHING from garage sales, over the winter, we splurged and  got granite in here and the kitchen.  I had to say that I am loving it.

This artwork was only $3 from a GS.

 

I bought this tot stool from a GS for $2 and I painted the top black.  (It was a light oak color.)

We bought all of our hardware on ebay for half price.  They were under $2 each!

   

I bought this mirror for 1 dollar!!!!  Where you ask?  A Garage Sale of course!!!

I accessories are from Aldi special purchase.  Once a year, they had great bathroom deals.  I got a light fixture, towel ring,  towel bar,  tp holder and towel hook for $40.  I also used the kit here.

Here is a picture of the tp holder, nice huh?

 

I got that lamp for $3.

This soap dispenser was from the Goodwill for like $3.

 

This is the light that came with the house, but I think that I will be changing it soon.

 

Here is the before. 

Here is the after.  Oh yeah, before I forget, I  My husband painted this room Capilano Bridge from Benjamin Moore.

I hope that you like it.  You don’t have to spend a lot of money to decorate.

I hope that you have a great day!

Bonnie :)
