Right now I'm loving everything floral and bright.  Florals?  For spring?  I know, I know, I'm an innovator.

Their Way / My Way: Christmas Decor

Now that it's post-Thanksgiving I can officially stop complaining about stores and radio stations celebrating the holiday too early and start getting into the Christmas spirit myself.  Last weekend I took the boyfriend to cut down Christmas trees with my family and some friends, and yesterday my roommate and I finished putting up our holiday decorations.  I actually managed to complete another Pinterest project for our mantle:

Their Way Source: The Lovely Cupboard

I ended up deciding I didn't want the canvas itself to light up, and put the final product up with a string of lights instead.  

I started by laying out the text and fonts I wanted in InDesign and printed off the design.  I tried to trace over the letters with permanent marker so that it would bleed through to the canvas.  Turns out I used too thick of paper so the marker didn't bleed through at all.  Instead, I ended up semi-free handing with pencil based on the design I printed out.

Next I filled in the sketch I made with Martha Stewart metallic paints.  These aren't very thick, so I put several coats on to make it opaque.  

I added some polka dots for good measure, of course.  

Next up: Lots of Christmas music and cookie baking!  Have you started celebrating the season yet?

So despite the fall colors that are surrounding all of us right now, I'm currently feeling really inspired by dreamy pinks, gold, flowers, and sparkle.  What's inspiring you?

Pinterest in real life!

So I went over to my friend's place a couple of weeks ago (whose roommate, by the by, also happens to have a bangin cooking blog) and realized the beautiful coffee table happens to be a very popular pin.

PINTEREST:

This post is making me feel two things.  One is that I really need to get my hands on a new camera to do this whole blogging thing.  Second is that I should really get going on some of the Pinterest projects I have on the docket:

Cinnamon Stick Candle

Wooden Letters Wall Art

Holiday Canvas

What Pinterest projects are you planning on creating?
