Beach on my mind...

I showed you what I did with the larger heart yesterday and now here is what I did with the smaller one...
I got both for 99cents!
So this project was under a buck if you count all the supplies!

 

I wanted to make this heart for our bathroom to use as a shelf sitter above our sink

I covered the heart with scrapbook paper ~ distressed the edges and added the ribbon around the edge

I then added a vintage star button and  scalloped piece of vinyl chalkboard from the dollar tree 

I wrote the name of our favorite beach 

and placed it high above with all of my other VA Beach goodies... 

My plan is to add a black and white picture to this heart soon!

Thanks for stopping by

For Wednesday I am linking to 

Easy Peasy Project

Here is an Easy P ~easy Picture Frame Project for our new bathroom

I am not a blue person,

unless you count the blue of the ocean or the blue of my hubbys eyes or a baby blue blanket

 I don't have very much blue in our home at all ... but I will NOW because our new bathroom is mostly  BLUE TILE!

The tub and toilet and sink are cast iron baby blue

The floor and halfway up the wall is coordinating baby blue tile

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our theme for the bathroom is BEACH!!

I plan on painting the walls a crisp white ~ and using  various shades of blue and lime with black cottage accents

SNEAK PREVIEW

Here is a super quick, easy and cheap project I whipped up that will coordinate with the theme and the bathroom color

The hubby bought these license plates while we were at our favorite place... Virginia Beach!

One for me and one for him!

How cute I thought and instantly knew I would frame them for the bathroom

80% of the accents that will be going into the bathroom are from Virginia Beach so I though how fitting these were

Off to the dollar tree for a frame

I had striped green and blue paper

So all I did was cut the paper to fit the frame ~ and glue the two license plates on the paper and I had an instant and sweet reminder of our place... our blue place!

I will show you soon how this project coordinates with the theme as the bathroom is my very first project in our new house!
