For the Home

Home decor and crafts I've made.

Tropical Paradise

Palm Trees In Paradise

This is a bedroom I painted for my friends' teenage daughter. She picked out the colors. I found a palm tree silhouette on the web and magnified it on the wall with a projector. Two walls were blue and two were green. Both blue walls had a palm tree like this.

 Hibiscus Border

I found a hibiscus picture on the net and got a piece of stencil plastic at the craft store that I traced the flowers onto and then cut out to create the template.


Both green walls had the hibiscus border.  Love the way it all turned out!!!

 

 

Lampshade for a Dolphin Room

This is a lampshade I made for my daughter's dolphin-themed room.  I took a basic lamp shade, stripped the fabric off, then wrapped strips of tulle from top to bottom.  I then tied small pieces of tulle down the vertical rods of the wire frame to made the pretty ruffle edges.  The seashell pieces are glittery buttons I found in the scrapbook section at Hobby Lobby.

I can't wait to get it home and put it on the lampstand in my daughter's room.  She'll LOVE it!!
