Wall Fabric

Heyyyy! Last night I finally was able to add some color to my extremely dull living room walls (since we aren't allowed to paint--ugh!!). I did a quick google image search and found this by Bella Dia and was INSTANTLY inspired.

I followed her directions for the most part, but instead of the putty that she used to attach it to the wall, I used glue dashes. I also used my trusty hot glue gun instead of the double sided tape to attach the fabric to the foam core.

Here is the final product. Sorry for the blurry picture--my battery died in my digital camera and I had to use my iPhone.

I think that I am going to add more on either side to balance the wall out--and some more squares too, instead of all rectangles--just need to buy some more fabric (just another excuse to go to Hobby Lobby) haha. The one thing that I love about this is that I can continue to add to it or move them around if I get bored. There's no right or wrong way to arrange them :-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Super Easy Table Runner!

My longtime boyfriend and I just recently moved into a townhouse (out of our teensy apartment) and I am going crazy with trying to figure out new and creative ways to decorate (we can't paint the walls since we are renting---which I CAN'T STAND!--I love having color on the walls).

The first room I thought I would tackle was the kitchen. I decided to do a coffee theme (I'll post pictures after it's done) but I needed a little something extra for our dining room table so I decided to make a table runner that went with the color scheme.

I went to Hobby Lobby about a month ago and stocked up on a bunch of fabric-not knowing what I was going to use it for--I just LOVE fabric..haha--but in this case I ended using some of it.

For this project I only used half a yard of fabric (I only bought a yard of this..which I really regret! I wanted to make curtains from this..oh well) and my trusty glue gun (I HATE sewing).

After cutting the fabric to the size that I wanted I glued down the frayed edges and...

 Voila!! Super cheap and easy table runner! :-)

Now I'm  just looking for something to add to the large wall behind the table (we have to keep it pushed against the wall until guests come or else we would be squeezing through the chairs--no thank you!) Let me know if you have any ideas. I know it's hard to see it (will post later).

Also, I made those little grass holders after looking at someone's blog a while ago and I can't find it or remember the name--so if anyone knows who made them I will gladly link the tutorial. Here's a close up of them:
