MORE THAN A MOROCCAN ROOM...

This room will be the future room of a special little girl I have yet to meet. I am on the road to becoming a foster mom and this room is on the road to becoming as bright and colorful as it can be.

This boring ceiling will turn into a fabric "tent" with string lights so she can forget her worries for a while and gaze at the "stars".

Plain white walls have turned into

bright yellow walls
with a shimmering bronze stencil

so she will have a little sparkle in her life.

Also, a colorful chandelier, lanterns, books, and a chest with dress up clothes. Oh and let's not forget..... a lot of love and understanding from me :)

Whoever you are, I am working hard to make you a great escape during this troubled time in your life. I hope you love it while you are with me.

Project Wine Crate

For those of you who don’t know, I …LOVE…WINE. I am no wine connoisseur but I will just keep taste testing until I get there :)

So my love of wine has brought the idea of making something out of its crates. Why let them go to waste?
I have come across many blogs and websites that give wonderful ideas to reuse the crates, but I kept waiting for the perfect one for me. I decided on a dining table along with hanging cut wine bottles above the table for lighting . I am going to cut the panels like planks of flooring and lay it out as the top of my table. As for the lighting, I am cutting the bottoms off wine bottles and hanging them like a pendant light. Here are some pictures that I came across to help you envision this. I hope it turns out the way I picture it in my head…we shall see!
