SNEAK PEEK!

Just wanted to give you a sneak peek of new products coming to Color Me Happy Boutique on Etsy.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!

NEW PRODUCTS!

I have added two new sections to my Etsy shop, bookmarks and keychains. These new sections have made me decide that this is what my shop should be.  I am going to make the leap between random products to fabric and sewn items. Hope you like and you can go to my shop to see more products and pictures!

S'MORE ETSY

My mother has been a creating machine and has posted more items in her etsy shop. So I thought it would only be right to update you on some more of her items.

Perfect for the 4th of July

All of her products with the exception of the fabric puffy wreath are found in the Pacific Northwest, which makes each item unique and one of a kind. If you like what you see go to her shop to see more and stay tuned for more items to come!

PILLOW MADDNESS

Sorry its been so long since there was an update on the living room redo. I have mentioned in some of my other posts how expensive accessories for your house can be, so I decided to make some of my own pillows for my couch. I will never claim to be a master at sewing, in fact I am more closer to beginner than master, but I found sewing my own pillows suprisingly easy.

Remember the inspiration fabric? I made it into a pillow!

If you look closely on the blue and brown damask pillow (which I made!) it is the back of the pillow and you can see the top part of the pillow envelop.

I basically sewed the fabric into an envelop so I wouldn't have to sew the pillow shut because that would have been a disaster! Plus this way if anything gets on the pillow or I want to change the fabric I can easily slip it off and save it for another time. Hope you like!

GREEN WITH ENVY

I have still been working on redoing my living room, slowly but surely. I got a new job which has made the process even slower!

I decided that I wanted to inject some color into my space, but instead of doing it on the walls I was going to do it through some pieces of furniture and accessories. The ok was given by my boyfriend to paint his lamps that he has had since he first went to college. So I picked a color from my inspiration fabric and went to town spray painting them. I also went and bought new drum lamp shades since the originals were a yellowish cream color and no longer matched.

Here is a reminder of the inspiration fabrics:

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL...

I have been redoing my house, slowly but surely...project by project. My current little project is to find a medium-sized mirror for my bedroom. However, the simplest and smallest of mirrors are way more than I want to spend.

Yesterday I was at Value Village and after much looking I finally found the perfect mirror for only $6.99, bbuuutt... its plastic "wood", white, and had redish streaks coming through the wood veins. Its not much now, but a good coat of spray paint will make all the difference!

Here is the finished product, isn't it beautiful???

HOMELESS WINDOW

I have a window that was found on the side of the road forever ago. It has sat in the corner of the kitchen collecting dust and hasn't made its way towards any sort of function or home, whether decorative or useful.  I finally decided today would be the day that it would be moved and be transformed into something great.  I narrowed it down to three options of what it could become: a dry erase board, picture frame, or a piece of art by applying a decorative piece of paper or fabric behind it. 

First I wiped all the dust off and then spray painted it a turquoise color.  Once I decided what it was going to be used for I hung it in the spare bedroom next to the desk.  I chose to use it as a dry erase board and the extra wide bottom portion of the frame was perfect to pin receipts or little notes to.  As of right now this is where the homeless window is going to stay, but who knows if it will stay in this spot or become something different...
