Sunburst Mirror

Ok...so I'm still working on this wall and this is still a work in progress, but I did get a coral colored pillow done and my white lampshade trimmed in black. Excuse the plastic drop cloth still bursting out of my "paint" box.:)

 I'm dying to put a sunburst mirror in the spot where I have the deco one now that I just put up behind my covered chair.

I've been crazy busy with wholesale orders which is a good thing, but I feel like I eat, drink, breathe sewing! Had a little break so thought I would get a post in.

Here is my chair, pillow, lamp and mirror.

Love the first one, but I would like the mirror to be bigger around. I also am thinking about doing a champagne type color just to mix it up a little. What do you think?

Desk Project...coming along...

Hello everyone! The desk I posted about yesterday is coming along beautifully! Here are some pics... and some other things I did along the way...

I had to choose paint and ended up going with the Valspar (my favorite spray paint from Lowes) tan paint.

Next, Evan already being a boy- enjoying being outside.

This is the mirror above the desk that has been needing a coat of paint for quite a while...

I covered the most of the mirror with some paper and then used a white primer and then a satin white spray paint in this. 

I measured 6" between lines and then taped the lines off with some sealing masking tape.

 Spray away...

Took off the tape...

There was a little overspray that you can sort of see here, but since the lines were straight I decided to leave it bc it actually looks like I meant it to be that way...:) I also added new hardware.

  

Tried a clock but didn't like that...

Yes, I know, too much on the left hand side floor and we've got to do something with all those wires! Now onto covering the ottoman...I love this black and white but am leaning towards the next fabric I have here...

I am loving the blue in this Waverly Lattice Lapis but I think it will be too busy... I am planning to paint a stripe of the print below down the wall so... (sorry about the play yard and other things in the background- I am in a hurry-Evan is sleeping:)

This is the pattern I am getting to put on the wall...

 That being said, I think I might go with this coral fabric so there are not too many busy prints...

...or this one....

Which fabric should I use? Have a great weekend stay tuned for the next phase (covering the ottoman) of this project. Hopefully, I'll have time to include a tutorial for covering the ottoman. :)

Second Life Shopping...

This morning I went out with my 3 month old son Evan (we don't get out much at this age :)) to wash my car, go to the post office and Dunkin Donuts- had to have my fix of iced coffee for the day. :) While we were out I just HAD to stop by one of my favorite second hand shops called "Second Life". It was started for the sole purpose of supporting a Christian school in our area, so I feel good about buying things there knowing my money is going towards a good cause. Anyway, I found the cutest mirrors and I'm not sure where they are going just yet, but they are perfect. They were marked down because they were missing some of their "gems" but I can easily replace these or change the color of them all.
I need some ideas for what to do with them. I'm hoping to move soon, so maybe they could go on my new fireplace mantel or on a entryway table.

What can I say...it always pays to make a quick stop at the second hand store...:)

Idea Board

I am doing a custom order for a girl and threw this idea board together today for her. It always helps to visualize what you want.
