My Secret Garden!

Come enter some of my favorite parts of the garden.

Walking down the stone steps is one way to enter!




Come sit a while and look over the waterfalls.



These red coneflowers are a new addition.
They're very bright and colorful.



As you walk down the stone stairway
 you might get a glimpse of a girl reading her book 
and a private bench to sit on.
Your welcome to join her!   



As you cross over the stream, Oh my!
Don't look ! The birds are bathing!


You will see a Gazebo just waiting for your presence.
Come on in ! Just relax!
 Listen to the water rushing down the stream.


As your relaxing watch the fish swim and play
 or listen to Mr. Frog tell his story.



As your done relaxing and continuing your walk.
You will pass Rebecca. She is one of our fountains.
The soft sound of water brings little birds to
drink from her pitcher.



Come on in and take a breath.
Eat some grapes!
Swing a little and listen to all the
beautiful sounds!


As you enter through the gates,
you will walk through our new shade garden.



As you continue your walk you will spot
our little bird fountain that glows in the night.
At night when you look over the garden it reminds
me of a little light house to help you see your way. 




As you exit the garden you will meet an angel.
It looks like she's getting her orders as she's looking up to
the heavens.



I think she is wanting to say God loves you and
cares for you so be blessed today!

Wallpaper Tricks

Decorative Shutters for Privacy Screen!

You'll want to take out the center panel of each shutter.
Paint your decorative shutters with the
color you desire.
Then attach wallpaper of your choice to your center panels.
Tack wallpaper-covered center panels onto you frame
of your shutters to make a beautiful privacy screen.



Wallpaper instantly dressed up this once plain wood headboard!

To get this look, simply cut the wallpaper of your choice 
according to the shape of the headboard.
Attach using the manufactures instruction.
A unique way to add personality to your room!




This is a Retro Redo!

A discarded display cabinet gained a new life with
lipstick-pink paint and sections of punchy
damask paper inside and out.
Attach decorative hooks or knobs to the door for
organizing your jewelry.



A Dresser Revamp!

Use floral paper to rejuvenate the drawer fronts of a tired dresser.
And the lampshade project is a snap. 
Just cut paper slightly larger than the shade. 
Adhere, pressing firmly to smooth wrinkles.
Once dry, simply slice off the excess paper with a craft knife.

See how much fun it is to design your own room!



A Wallpaper Frame Update!

This simple project can be done to a picture frame or
a tiny mirror.
To get this look, lay the frame flat and
cut around the edge leaving about an inch border.
Trace around the inside hole, be sure to leave about 1/2 inch
that will be folded back.  Cut slits in all corners, then wrap the
wallpaper around the edges.  Adhere to the back of the frame.

A neat way to coordinate with the rest of your room!




Hanging Wallpaper for Art!

Create a wall hanging from wallpaper scraps.
Use a dowel rod from a craft store for a smooth look.
Roll the top and bottom of the paper over the rods and attach
with glue and a stapler.
Tie a decorative cord to the top rod and hang from hook on wall.

Makes beautiful Art!


Bold Service Cart!

A basic glass-front bookcase becomes a stellar service cart
with just a roll of wallpaper.
After removing the legs and doors, prime and paint the bookcase.
When dry, wallpaper the outside surfaces and install caster to
the bottom.  Reattach doors.

What fun and interesting ways to recreate your
decorative pieces!
