I love matches!!!

I wanted to make something for my house that would reflect my love of whimsical and practical.  We have boxes of matches laying around the house and I wanted them to be more personal instead of the red and blue diamond packaging.  I saw this post on Style Me Pretty and thought I would try it!  I'm excited to share with you the final results.  Follow this tutorial to make your own at home!  Have fun and happy crafting!

Shades of Grey or is it Gray?

We have completed a project that has been looming since we moved in.  We have hated our purple front door and have finally done something about it!  Sitting at Bob Evans yesterday enjoying a wonderful labor day breakfast with my husband, we were discussing projects that wouldn't be expensive or time consuming to start and finish.  The agreed upon project was the front door.  You see, our house is green and not so much a flattering green but green nonetheless.  We don't love it, but it was just painted a couple of years ago and we are not going to pay to have it done until we have to.  We chose a color that we thought would blend in and not stand out.  We chose Behr Amazon Stone in Semi-Gloss.  I did two coats and it looks great.  I'm happy to have one thing off my list of things to do.

On to the next one......

Until then!
