It's All in the Accessories

You could call this a fashion post, but it's not. My pink girl and I have been redecorating her room. We have been using her wearable fashion accessories as decorating accessories.

Tip #1 
Store pretty heeled shoes out in the open. 
Back and white damask velvet boxes coordinate with all shoe colors, (and keep things out of sight). The black hat and bow, as well as a couple of the shoes styles provide a vintage feel.


Tip #2
In the same area, repeat the theme of the accessories (vintage style) with another item.
Pink girl chose this fabulous couture poster with red dress and shoes.

Tip #3
Display bling on a wall. 
We displayed blingy bracelets on a shelf . It doesn't matter the "color" of your bedroom decor. The reflective quality of the bling makes it coordinate with everything!


My pink girl's accessories lean to the vintage style; netted headband, cameo, pearls, and tons of bling.  Perfect accessories for a girl's bedroom, and her outfits!


Tip #3
Display fashion accessories, on a dresser, like you would a picture frame. 
We used a wire easel stand to display hair flowers. The stand was originally used to hold messages. Now, instead of flower clips thrown in a drawer, they are right out in the open and ready to be worn.


A couple more pics of her room to show you the color scheme of peacock blue, turquoise, and red.


We participated in our first craft show of the season. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time. Thanks to all of you that stopped by my booth, especially the two ladies that took pics of my ruffled table cloth. You made my day!  

Have a blessed week,
Ele

Men+nail guns=?

Mr. Pink Heaven and his posse have been sawing wood, grouting ceramic tile, and using the nail gun. The sun room is progressing.

I have been filling nail holes, and painting the room a cottage white..
men+nail guns=a trillion gazillion nail holes.


I added amber glass knobs to a stained table.


Beadboard on the walls, a fabric basket to hold stray shoes, luscious pear candles, an art glass bowl for keys, and a sky blue mirror were all put in place. The mirror is a vintage find repurposed with spray paint.

This room is not finished yet. I still have more nail holes to fill!

Blessings,
Ele

My Favorite Table

Fav Table-

CRAFT TIP: The table (originally stained wood) received a coat of white flat paint. I used gold Pilot paint marker to write (cursive) flower names in Latin and English.


Wait at least 24 hours for the writing to dry and further embellish with Plaid Gold Wax Metallic Finish. I used my finger to wipe the wax on the edges of the table. I also lightly wiped the wax across some of the writing.
I have more Birthday treats to show you, so be sure to come back later in the week.

Blessings,
Ele
