Shabby Glam Sign...

I found some curtains for my daughter's room at IKEA, and I've been slowly piecing her room together using those as my inspiration. I have an idea that I got from Char at Crap I've made that involves wood shutters. I made this sign SPECIFICALLY to be hung with the shutters once they are finished. I found them on Craigslist and am going to pick them up tomorrow! Talk about stoked. I can't wait to show you all the final product!!

To make my "shabby glam" sign I purchased a 16x20 canvas from Hobby Lobby, then painted it one of the colors that is in the curtains.

Here's your plain white canvas..

Paint please? I chose this color..

I really wanted to spray paint this to save time...oh well..

Most of you bloggies have worked with vinyl, have a machine that cuts it, etc. So I will save you time and won't bore you with the tutorial on how to cut/transfer/apply vinyl lettering :)

My next step was to apply the vinyl I designed and cut out to my dried canvas and glue on some "bling." I love it.  

Here's the end result with the curtains next to it..

It's feels soooo good to have this room coming together. I love having an idea in my head and actually seeing it come to life. Now on to the shutters...... ;-)

HELP! This table needs a lift!

What on Earth should we do with this entry table?? When we moved from Hawaii to Texas the movers JACKED up the varnish on this baby BAD. The top is absolutely hideous and needs to be saved! The options are ENDLESS I know, that's why I'm getting an expert opinion from the blogosphere. Should I paint it? Stain it? Throw it away? Change the knobs? Stencil?

The perfect mod tealight holder...

Wooo! My first post on the BADD Blog! I'm totally stoked ;)

So to keep things flowing and fresh... today is a craft post!

{side note... if you didn't get a chance to read Lauren's post
below - you must! I was a test tester, and they were divine!}

So I came across this modern tealight holder over the holidays,
and was totally obsessed. Seriously, every gift idea was some
variation of the tealight holder.
I found the tutorial on Noodlehead. Her directions are
pretty straight forward - and I love that it's a total low cost,
to no cost project. I had to buy a 1 1/2 inch bit, and the
wood, but if you have some 2x4's hanging around the garage,
even better!

I used maple wood, because my options were limited - but it
worked just fine. I sanded the board - then spray painted it
black. After the spray paint was dry, I sanded the edges a bit,
and distressed it. I love candlelight. A row of tealights, sitting on a romantic table
set for two... pretty much the perfect fit.
