Wallpaper, Nurseries, and crafty frames



Well, I've been snowed in at my inlaws for a week now (okay the snow melted 3 or 4 days ago and we have free food and no cleaning here), and HGtv and DIY Network are constantly on in this house, so while I'm away from home I'm thinking of all the great things I want to do with my house when I get back! I have a project I've been working on for a while that desperately needs to be finished so I'm thinking a Tackle it Tuesday for it is in order. More on that later. I suppose a part of blogging is getting to stalk other bloggers blogs and the blogs they stalk. :) Well today I found the cutest house blog I've ever seen and this post blew my world! It's all about wallpapering your ceiling! Gasp! That's exactly the solution to the awful spray bubble ick that is my ceiling! While scrolling across the beautiful photos I was stopped dead in my tracks by this photo.

OMG!



Now I've been planning Baby Alice's nursery for oh.... 2 years now? lol An Alice in Wonderland garden party has been in the works. Complete with teapots and framed prints from the original books. Now this photo through me for a loop! Now let me take a moment to let you know my latest obsession. The color grey. It has taken over my house. My kitchen, dining room, and hallway are all painted with a beautiful muted grey. My bedroom is about to go grey and I have grey accents in my bathrom. Along with the grey obession has come and equally strong obession with a beautiful bright sunny mustard yellow and foggy light blues. I see this nursery and I am floored. Yellow! Stripes! Birdhouses! AND A GREY TRIM on custom tailored bedding. SIGH! While I figure out how to work yellow stripes into Alice's wonderland garden I'm also going to figure out a way to wallpaper my ugly ceiling! I will keep you updated. Well that was my share of the day. While I'm at it I want to brag on a friend of mine.

I told you a little about the Pay it Forward Giveaway in a past post, well today I got a sneak peek at what I got from one of the ones I commented on, and it's sparked a business adventure for one of my dear friends Brittany. I can't wait to show you what she's doing! For our giveaway she made super cute picture frames and that is blossoming into so much more for her!

This is the frame she made that will be coming to decorate the Johnsons' living room bookshelf!



Isn't it fantastic!? I'll be sure to keep you updated as she adds more to her inventory! Bijoux Boutique (which means cute little shop in French AW!) will hopefully be at a craft show in April and I will be there cheering Britt on and helping her sell these adoreable frames and more! She has my crafty brain racing! I went to Hobby Lobby and went up and down each isle to decide on my next project to put in the works. Can't wait to see what I dream up tonight!
