Projects

Here are a couple of small projects I worked on recently.

My mom and I arranged a gallery wall at her house over the weekend using frames she already had scattered around the house. The first picture is attempt #1 - too crowded and too square. Picture #2 is our fix. It just shows that arranging frames is not always easy, so don't be afraid to start over to get the look you want.

Here is the before and after of a lamp I decided to makeover. Still thinking about adding some ribbon trim. The fabric is actually from a tablecloth that I got on clearance at Home Goods.
