Today I went to Michaels and finally started on one of my million pinterest projects. Am I the only one absolutely obsessed with pinterest? I wish I could pin and diy for a living lol don't we all. Any who, on my trip to Michaels I purchased three wooden letter $2.99 a piece, mod podge, a little set of paint brushes with sponges $1.49 , my choice of paper .49 and the grey color I already had from the counters which I will post a blog on that this week. I recommend to first sand the edges of the letters depends on the letters mine had tiny ruff spots. Step two paint the edges and a light coat in the center, then add two more coats or desired amount. Third add a good layer of paint on the center of the letter and stamp it on the back of the paper of your choice. Then cut it out and add some mod podge to the center and press. Boom then let it sit add a hole in the back and hang it where you please. Presto diy personal wall art. I believe I will do more soon of our last name. Well yall the hubs is snoring and I'm watching my King of Queens dvds nighty nite. (I know we are such party animals) ♡

Our first house
Well we bought a house in September of 2013. We have only been here a few months and we have already made so many changes to our 1960s house. When we viewed the house I was a little hesitant at first but I see potential in most things and it was a heck of a deal. The walls were dark panel, yellow stick down tile floor that was in awful shape, dirty carpets, and dark oak kitchen with white counters. It for real looked like 1960s yuckkkk! We have done a lot of improvements and I have completed most of them myself, my poor husband works alot so I have learned to do home improvements thanks youtube and the almighty Pinterest ♡. Our first project was painting all the walls and let me tell you painting panel makes a world of difference however it is more complicated to paint due to the cracks and coating to cover the panel. I first started with Kiltz primer I purchased at lowes and then the fun part picking out paint for the rooms. Pictures coming soon.
P.s. red is a hard color to paint several coats. Fyl. Happy Saturday.
