Hi -ers! I'm Shannon from Burlap in addition to Lace. I'm in addition to thus excited to endure posting hither on Virginia's blog! I dearest her, in addition to her beautiful home. She's basically my spirit animal, which is a lot coming from a crazy truthful cat lady. It's almost similar nosotros part the same mind. I'm non certain if that's cool or scary. We'll become alongside cool. :) Anyway, Virginia asked me to part my half-dozen favorite projects every bit a portion of her Wednesday 6 series! So hither nosotros go!

(ahem...Virginia speaking. Tomorrow is my 30th birthday. I've never been anyone's spirit fauna before, in addition to I volition direct keep this every bit a sign that my thirties are gonna endure awesome. Thank you, Shannon. Continue on...Sorry for the interruption.)

First upwards is my TV Gallery Wall. I simply collected frames from yard sales, thrift stores, in addition to IKEA to create a large focal betoken to environment the TV. I figured that a TV is inevitable (if my hubby has anything to country nearly it), in addition to thus I powerfulness every bit good drive to instruct inwards blend inwards alongside a gallery wall! I exclusively had 2 rules when it came to creating this bad boy. #1: I stuck alongside silver, gold, black, or white frames in addition to #2: I exclusively framed things that I absolutely loved! I don't believe inwards color coordinating fine art on the wall. Find what you lot dearest in addition to display it! I also painted the feet gold on an former dresser to brand a TV console. You gotta move alongside whatcha got!

(Pardon....it's me again. I simply desire to permit ya'll know that Shannon's gallery wall & gilt dipped footsies direct keep sent me downward a wormhole of inspiration. Ya'll know I dearest a gallery wall. And also, I'm pretty certain that's the same dresser that's inwards my bedroom. How rattling delightful. I hope to endure tranquillity now.)

My instant favorite projection is my DIY Spotted Art. I dearest to paint, in addition to I dearest this spotted designing that has been popping upwards everywhere, in addition to thus I created my own! I simply spray painted some inexpensive poster frames gold, in addition to popped the fine art inwards them without a mat. They brand a huge controversy without existence likewise bold! One of my favorite places inwards my solid is my bar cart. I would country that it was my favorite place, but that would brand me audio similar a lush. :) This fine art makes the whole infinite a piffling prettier! It's in addition to thus slow to create your ain fine art to salve coin in addition to to endure creative. I did it inwards my living room, too!

One of the easiest projects I've ever done is my DIY Pantone Paint Chip Memo Board. I gathered some Pantone pigment chips inwards pinkish shades, in addition to used double sided record to adhere them to white paper. Then I popped it inwards a frame, in addition to wrote on the drinking glass alongside a white erase marker! I usage it to write downward my goals for the week, but you lot could usage it every bit a calendar, a bill of fare planner, or fifty-fifty a grocery list. So in addition to thus easy, in addition to it exclusively cost me $4!

One of the boldest decisions I ever made was to pigment an entire hallway chalkboard paint. This happened belatedly at night, in addition to I did it earlier I could modify my mind. I'm in addition to thus glad I did! I usage it all the fourth dimension to doodle on, in addition to our friends dearest it. We dearest entertaining, in addition to I ever decorate the wall alongside whatever the topic of the nighttime is. Functionality aside, I also dearest how the dark actually contrasts alongside the residual of the house. I loved it in addition to thus much, I also painted an entire wall inwards my purpose alongside chalkboard paint! This is definitely something that Virginia in addition to I direct keep inwards common- don't you lot dearest her chalkboard cabinets?!

Another projection that I dearest is my faux malachite tray. I dearest love dearest malachite, in addition to emerald is the Color of the Year for 2013! What I don't dearest nearly malachite, however, is the hefty toll tag. So I decided to brand my own! I primed a clearance tray that I flora at Target, in addition to went to town brushing in addition to scraping greenish in addition to dark pigment together to create the marbled effect. It was a lot easier than I thought, in addition to alongside a glossy coat of lacquer on top, it almost looks similar the existent thing! You can't shell it for a few dollars!

In improver to DIY projects, I also direct keep a weekly How To serial on how to accomplish the glossy magazine expect inwards your ain home. I detect that a lot of my clients direct keep trouble choosing the correct sized rug, arranging pillows on your bed, in addition to even displaying fine art inwards your home. But my favorite "How To" is my tips in addition to tricks on pattern mixing! It's something that everyone has questions about, but let's endure honest...who doesn't dearest vivid colors in addition to patterns? I'm a neutral gal at heart, but sometimes I gotta permit reveal every 1 time inwards a while. And these are in addition to thus fun!

So that's a circular upwards of my half-dozen favorite projects from my blog, Burlap in addition to Lace! I'd dearest for you lot to halt past times in addition to country hello. I'll endure the daughter alongside the pigment inwards her pilus in addition to vino inwards her hand. Thank you lot in addition to thus much for having me, Virginia! One twenty-four hours we'll endure those crazy ladies carrying their cats around inwards their pocketbook spell the thrift store for things to spray paint.
