Stenciled lampshade {DIY}

Nothing fancy here, just a quick and easy stenciled lampshade.  

I bought this awesome lamp at Marshalls back before Christmas.

It had a shabby french look to the base and the lampshapde was just a simple burlap.

Not to mention it was only $20.00 bucks, so Home it went.

Being the "stencil queen" you have come to know...

I thought, why not just jazz this up slightly.

I have enough going on in our bedroom in terms of decor, so I just went for simplicity here.

I have to admit, I held back on doing the entire shade with all these flowers....

hmmm...I still may, let me know what you think...

Plain and simple....

So what do you think, go more, or keep it less?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

XO

Top {diy} home projects 2011 {crafts, painting furniture, stencils}

My favorite 2011 diy home projects all in ONE!
Kick back, take off your shoes, grab a cuppa joe, your going to be here a while.

I had 430 posts in 2011!

Seriously, I did not even realize that until I was putting this post together.
YIKES, that is a whole lotta posts.

I started off January 2011, very motivated and ready to inspire, and be inspired.
I started hosting the weekly Monday newbie party...which is still going strong and I am very happy with all it has done to help newbie's get started.

Projects have been a many this year...
Stenciling, burlap, pallets, just to name a few...
let's take a look at some shall we?

You may view many more stenciling projects
HERE

Then I moved on to the big leagues, and started painting furniture, using Annie Sloan chalk paint...

These are just a few samplings..
You may view many more

Moving on to Spring...

I started hosting my monthly Magazine copy cat challenge..
{one coming up soon TBA}

I was inspired to do IT, after looking at the back of Country Woman magazine and thinking, hey I can copy that pretty image.
 Then there was this pretty table scape in the summer...

 In March 2011, I received a phone call from Country Woman magazine. They wanted to feature our kitchen...is this a JOKE?

NOPE you may read about that

HERE

By the time Summer rolled around, I was in full swing, stencil high, Love

Nothing was safe from the hands of me and a stencil.
Lightbulbs started flickering like crazy in my head...

Burlap was also a big kick of mine...



I was burlaping{not a word I know}
 everything in my site...
you see I tend to over do it sometimes.

Now we were ending the Summer projects, and I decided to move outdoors...

Mike and I had put off a much  needed back yard makeover.
It was TIME!

Our outdoor area went from this...which was very nice and rustic...

to this...

We took on the job of building an outdoor pizza oven...
You may see the details of that
HERE
I can tell you for certain, it was worth every blood, sweat and tear shed, and yes, we shed all three!


Moving off of Summer now and into the Fall season.
Fall is my ultimate favorite time of year......




October is one of my favorite months.
I found out HGTV had featured my last year Halloween table
scape on their decorating ideas site.
HERE

{Still loving chalk paint btw as you can see from this cute outdoor chair.}




Somewhere in between here, I discovered my love of pallets...

For the record these flowers are still growing and look amazing...

Then from November on...

we have had Holiday gatherings and family, fun time.

{Savannah, GA}

I have enjoyed playing and learning new tricks with my camera, and still learning every day.

I really like this picture, although nothing special...beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Not sure what 2012 will bring.
I am only looking for good health, peace, love and Happiness...
what the rest will be, will be.
I can probably guarantee I will NOT have 430 posts.

Thank you so much for your friendships, your kind visits, your wonderful emails, and in general just being here
at my blog.  There are so many talented and inspiring women out here..and I am flattered you take the time to come over to little ole debbiedoo's and show me some LOVE!
Happy NEW YEAR!
XOXO

I thank each and everyone of you for joining my Newbie party each week.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I am betting today a lot of you are running around like  chickens with their heads cut off.
{who ever came up with that saying, it's a little disturbing}

 I have a few new buttons in the works.
My dear friend Carol  {The polka dot closet} made them for me, and I thank her.
Now I just have to add the html, and I am good to go.
Feel free to grab one and just link it in your html gadget...we should all know how to do that by now.

Fall Decor crafts

Fall decor crafts and more!
Stenciling burlap and playing with twine.

Fall decorating is so much fun!

Nothing like getting a jump start to Fall.  I have seen a few gals start already so I am not the first one for a change.

Speaking of change!!!~...........

It was time to get out some stencils and paint!

You know many times you have heard me say, I am NO picasso!

But I love to pretend I am.

Fall is my all time favorite time of year, so from here on in, you will be seeing lots of Fall decor, crafts and decorating on my blog.

Easy vignettes!

Simple embellishments

 Or as I like to think of it, as BLING BLING!

You  remember this project I started way back?....

This was even featured in Country Woman Magazine

HERE

My initital thought and intent, was I can change this simple art out per season, without it costing me a dime.

And that I have been doing..

I have burlap, stencils, paint always on hand for something that tweets in my brain.

Now onto a Fall change and vignette...

Orange burlap, individual letter stencils,

Faux leaves, twine, hot glue,

my handy dandy rooster stencil..and your good to go..

I need to get some pretty sunflowers to replace these white daisies..

I will next week.

Took me all of 30 minutes to create this Fall art..

FREE!

I think I am an artist after all!
Have a great day, thanks for stopping by!

Happy Fall Y'all!
