Working on a new wreath!

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

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.

Bathroom ideas

Thanks for the opinions I got on the colors. We're doing Stone House in the Kitchen, Alaskan Skies in the Family Room, and the Blue in the dining room. I want to do something bold in the powder room, so I started looking (again) for some inspiration pics. I found some dark bathrooms (1st is from bossycolorblog it's BM Graphite) Keeping with a dark powder room, with a bow, it makes your day feel fancier. I might just go a tad lighter with Revere Pewter, people rave about this color online and I think it'll give the warmth and clean lines I want, with a little less drama than the graphite. I will definitely do the graphite in the basement bathroom once we build our movie theater, but I am going to go a little safer right now.

In the home stretch

The home is almost done. There are a few minor things that need to be done, and I decided I want to paint upstairs, well not me, but I want the upstairs painted. I certainly can't do it as well as the painter can. He is amazing. He doesn't use tape or anything, just a steady hand. It is inspiring. '
