Vintage Frame Project For {Our Home}

I went to Ikea for the first time about a month ago and fell in LOVE!
While I was there, I bought this black filigree picture frame for our home as well as this black and white little clock which I found to be adorable! :)
For the frame, I took out the glass and added muslin fabric and sewed a teal letter L (for our last name) and heart onto the muslin. I also added several different black vintage buttons to the center of the heart to tie it into the black frame.

The teal colored bookcase was given to me from my grandmother. Isn't it cute? :)

I also made these yellow felt pom pom flowers with pearl details to add some bright color to the room :)
You can also purchase these little flowers from my shop here.

Ok, that's my latest project for our home...for now :)

You are my SUNSHINE

One of the many projects I have set out to create for our little man's nursery is the "You are my Sunshine" frame on the wall where the rocking chair will go. I have always loved the chorus lyrics to the song--"You are my Sunshine" and ever since I found out that my husband & I are expecting, I have hummed the tune to our little baby numerous times.

After finding an amazing frame from the local antique and vintage shop, it took me a couple of days to finish this project & I am really excited and happy with it! :)

This was the frame that my husband & I found before anything was done to it...


I started by painting the frame "antique white" shabby chic.



Then, I found some light green and yellow striped fabric for the background of the frame and started painting away! I painted completely freehanded (no rulers, stencils, etc.) with just the frame laying on top of the fabric so I could get everything as centered as possible.





Once I finished painting the lyrics, I added some color to the inside of the words I left outlined. Then, I attached the fabric to the back of the frame & cut the extra fabric off.







& here's the finished project after my amazing husband put it up on the wall :) (excuse the little mess in the room...we are still organizing)







There's still the fabric leaves I have to finish making for the tree painted on the wall where the crib will go...about 45 more leaves to make and a post will be up about that project! :D
