Easy DIY Paint Chip Art

Materials:
Paint chips in the colors of your choice,


A frame. I got mine at Ikea.


A glue stick and scissors!



Cut your paint chips into strips to the width of your choice. 

( I cheated and used a paper cutter. This thing makes my world go round. )



 Lay out a pattern that you like.


Glue your paint chips to the piece of paper that came in your frame, or one cut to size.


 Let it dry for a few minutes. If it starts to curl, just lay a book over it. 

Cut the excess from around the size and pop it into your frame!


As my niece would say, "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!"

This could be a great project for a kids room or it can be a quick pick me up to your desk with fun colors for spring/summer! 

:)

Have fun!

What I'm Loving Now: Florals and Stripes!

Floral and stripes and two patterns that clearly are good friends. Mixing them together for an ultra effortless chic look is a trend I'm loving. You can play, run errands, hang out, go to work and even have a night out in floral and stripes. 

Print on Print: Florals & Stripes!


The key to mixing these patterns is balance. The larger the floral, the smaller the stripe, like in outfit No.2 from left to right, and the larger the stripe the smaller the floral, like outfit No.7.  

In some cases you may find the Goldy Locks of pairs and pull off a bold floral and bold stripe that's just right... like in outfit No. 6!

In My Pinterst World

In my Pinterest world, 


My things would always be in their place...


I would have endless counter space...

 and not have to clean up my mess. :P



There would always be an abundance of Peonies...

 everywhere. 


I would play all day.


And eat all of these that I wanted...


( YUM! )


What does your Pinterest world look like??   :)

SOMETHING NEON!

SOMETHING NEON!




OK, so it's nothing new to anyone, but if you haven't jumped on the neon bandwagon this Spring, you need to! Something, ANYTHING neon for summer. If you're shy and you'd like to start off slow, start with neon accessories. Or, for the more bold and heart, a neon outfit! How cute would that coral top be with those highlighter yellow pants?! 
Uh. Very. 
And, hold the phone! Are those my favorite sandals EVER in yellow?? I had a pair just like those for years in a neutral color from Target that I wore to death, literally... (RIP Favorite Sandals) and I have yet to find a comparable pair. I might just snag these up! 

Here's to your bright future!
