I love getting emails from my readers, and this weekend I got not one but
two wonderful emails regarding projects they've tackled. I was so flattered! It's so fun to think that something I've posted about has inspired someone
else to tackle it in their own home, and wow did they ever tackle it! These two did an amazing job. Amy wrote me saying she followed my wall
string art tutorial from way back, in her own home. Check out her awesome wall:
Boom! Oh wow, I love how it came out. I think my favorites are the large one on the left, and that one directly over the bed. Wait, and that large one that is almost a wreath - oh they are all great! The placement is nice too, very good design Amy! She also plans to do a ladybug theme in her daughters room, and I hope we're lucky enough to see those pictures too. (Please share with us, Amy!)
Another reader, Abby, wrote me to share that she tried her hand at the
Striped Round Table tutorial (that seems to have really been popular on Pinterest, thanks y'all!) and now has an adorable kitchen table. Take a look at her table before, via craigslist:
Brace yourselves for the after shot:
Came out so cute! I love that she did matching chairs, they look incredible. You can tell by the glare that the finish is probably
so soft. I really like her stripes here too, the middle one is a little larger than the surrounding two. This looks really nice, kudos Abby on a fantastic job! Some tips we were discussing, that I should share with you, is how horrible & boring of a time painting spindles can be! She was about to seal it when I suggested getting a spray seal for those chair spindles, when she replied saying she had done just that! Great minds think alike I guess, hehe. Seriously folks, this is a wonderful project to do - and if you try it, it's no longer just me suggesting some spray for those areas! It's just easier, and more fun. And these things are supposed to be fun, too!
What do you think, didn't these ladies do a great job? Special shout out & thank yous to Amy & Abby for sharing there projects with me, and allowing me to share with all of you! Give them a round of applause, or some comment-love since we can't hear each others clapping...
If you've tackled a project, I'd
love to see it & share it with everyone here, just shoot me an
e-mail and include your photos. Have a fantastic Thursday - know what will make today even better? Tomorrow is Friday!
