Ways to Add Your Favorite Color to a Room

I have placed some turquoise accents in the guest room, so now it goes with the rest of the house.

Some of the easiest ways to add a favorite color to a room, is with pillows, throws, candles, pictures, etc. I've made a few changes in the guest room again.

I placed the white quilt on this bed a few weeks ago, and since I decided to add some turquoise accessories, I switched out the curtains with some I already had.

 I hung curtains that are sheer, but have aqua and green and taupe print on them, along with a turquoise throw, and a green pillow.


The little dress is the one I was wearing when our house burned.  I was 2 years old, and my Mother had made the dress from a flour or feed sack.  She saved it for years and I'll always keep it.
Turquoise accessories are on the night stand, and now this door can be used to enter the screened porch.

That's how easy it is to add your favorite color to a room. Just shop your house.

You don't have to have lots of the color, just enough to give your room interest.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
