...because home doesn't happen overnight.

I bet you think I’ve forgotten about my naked entry hall wall and the custom art that y’all voted on for it.  Well, I haven’t.  It’s just I’ve got those 2 lil’ buggers nipping at my feet {and all the while Handy Hubby has been out of the country for work}.  I don’t trust 2 boys {5yrs and 2yrs old} around me when I’ve got an open can of black paint!  I’d say I’m 70% done.

After much debate, I decided to hang the wall art with grommets.  That means a full ‘how to add grommets to fabric’ tutorial is coming your way.  Lucky you.

The red ladder has been standing at attention in our entryway for the last week.  That whole ‘walking under a ladder is bad luck’ myth better be a myth.

I love the way this new piece of art looks old and worn.  My hand painted letters are far from perfect…even though it takes about 10 minutes to complete one!  {I have come to hate the letter “E”.}  At first, I wasn’t so sure about it.  After all, it is just a huge piece of fabric with black letters painted on it.  But, like most things that I do around here, now that I’ve been living with it for a little bit it’s totally starting to grow on me.

I am really excited to see this one. I may have to try this on some throw pillows. Love the grommets though.
