Since spring is around the corner I decided it was time to spruce up the place a bit. Flower pots were so expensive so I went to the second hand store and got some tea cups. Founds some pansies to go inside! :)
And since I found the flower shop....I couldn't resist getting some herbs. I think garden shops could be detrimental to my financial health! Oregano, Basil, and Chives
Dan and I are so excited to have FINALLY complete a project that has been in the works for over a month! I found a wall map on sale online about a month ago and upon realizing how expensive buying a frame was, we decided to make one. So off to Home Depot we went and picked out the perfect trim pieces for the job. Let me tell you, 45degree angles just weren't our thing that day. But eventually it got made. And stained...and we didn't like it. So a couple weeks later we opted to paint it and then instead of dry mounting it ourselves (probably just as expensive), we got it done at Hobby Lobby. And just a word of warning to anyone thinking of buying a piece of glass 49 1/2 inches by 31 1/2 inches....GOOD LUCK! We went without.
But it is now hung...and it looks beautiful! Props to my dear husband for all his patience with this project!!! He did a fabulous job! And we made lots of memories in the process!
The Finished Product!
Map looks good!! I love the idea of using tea cups as flower pots. You are so creative.
ReplyDeleteso did you have to drill a hole in the bottom of these tea cups to drain out the water so it doesn't sit in the dirt and start to stink?? Maybe you don't have to and its just something I thought all plants needed:). Im not that great with plants as you can tell....but I sure do love your idea. So creative.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Hobby Lobby and framing....I know RIGHT where you are coming from...we got the picture above our bed framed 50% off at HL and we still paid more for it than the picture itself....Ok...ALOT MORE than the picture itself. Its rediculous!! Love your map picture though...well done!
No I didn't drill holes...I am careful to NOT over water though! I know! The frame was 50% off and still SOOOOO expensive! Dan was like, "haha...yeah right." It would have been different if it wasn't so huge...but since its so big....obviously $$$$$
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I'm sure you'll enjoy cooking with the fresh herbs too.
