Working on a new wreath!

By
I found a really cute wreath for valentines day on Http://www.theidearoom.net/2010/01/valentines-day-craft.html

When I tried to get a heart shaped foam wreath form, all the craft stores were all sold out. So I waited until July (ok I forgot about it until I was in the wreath aisle)... and  I made it into my summer craft project! I am so excited about how it came out. It looks softer in real life, so I have to take better pictures, but here is what I have for now.

Materials
About 2 yards of remnant fabric
One bundle of fabric
A box of flat head straight pins
Heart shaped foam wreath form

I cut all the fabric into 4x4 squares, then into 3 inch circles using pinking shears. Folded each circle into quarters and pinned onto wreath. So easy. From start to finish was about 3 hours. If you use thicker fabric, it will probably be quicker.

Front Door Colors

By Jen
We have to pick a color for the front door. After some googling about feng shui, I found a great list of door colors on House Beautiful .  I really liked Evening Sky (BM 833).  I researched further and found the meaning of a blue door . Although our door doesn't face south, north or east, I really like the thought of a blue door, especially with our stream and the blue dining room. I think the door will tie it all in together.

Kitchen Take 3

By Jen
After talking with Jim (the builder) and several long visits to Lowes (to the point where it becomes stalking)  we changed the cabinet color slightly.  The kitchen designer said we could get a glaze put on free of charge!  So we're getting canvas with cocoa glaze.  This will make the cabinets a little more subtle than the stark white that we had before and will most likely fit in better with the color scheme in the house.  You get the idea.  Again, a darker island and lighter walls, but this overall look.
