Stunning Stickers

I got a chance to go out and work on Rosi a bit this weekend.  I was really looking forward to this project...putting Rosi's stickers on the wall!

My husband and I have both received stickers over the past couple of months as gifts.  We have been saving them to put up until the painting was finished.  Painting is done, so now I get to have some fun!

 

I decided to group the stickers by color.  I put stickers with pink or turquoise on the pantry door, silvers and grays on the fridge and reds and blues by the bed.  I figured it would look less busy grouping them this way.  

I left room to add more stickers to our collection...I am looking forward to picking some up on our future travels.  I love how it turned out!

A Weekend Full of Projects

 

What fun I had working on Rosi this weekend!  It has been a while since we were able to get out to Rosi so I had a list of projects I was hoping to get done...and I was able to complete all of them!  Three of the projects were fun ones that I was looking forward to and there was one that I was not really looking forward to...giving everything inside another coat of paint.  I am so glad I got the painting done.  She looks SO much better inside with the paint touched up!  

 

The project I started with this weekend was prettying up Rosi's countertop.  When we bought her, she had a white laminate countertop.  It was not totally glued down and was bubbling up.  The trim was beat up and did not go around the entire counter.  It really bothered me!

I bought some pretty iridescent tiles a couple of years ago and never used them.  I had just enough to cover the counter and go around the side as a sort of trim.  I also had some white grout left over from a mosaic project.  I decided white was just too plain for Rosi so I mixed some food color in the water I used to mix the grout.  I was able to create a pale turquoise grout...turns out it almost perfectly matches the wall.  

I absolutely love the new countertop.  Rosi deserves pretty, shiny, sparkly things & I definitely gave her that in the new countertop!

The next project I tackled was making our medicine cabinet more unique.  Years ago, we bought a new medicine cabinet on clearance from Lowes for a couple of dollars.  We never used it.  My husband found it in his shed still in its original box.  It fit perfectly over the stove.  We installed this a while back. 

The cabinet was plain white laminate...kind of plain and boring.  Well, Rosi needs unique items, not something run of the mill.  I decided to decoupage some of our old ticket stubs on the outside and inside.  Friends suggested I photocopy the stubs so I could keep the originals.  I am glad I followed their advice as the paper was thinner than the original tickets and worked very well.  I love looking at the old tickets and remembering old shows.  I think this project gives Rosi a bit of a hippie feel which is perfect as we plan to bring Rosi to lots of music festivals in the years to come!

The last project was a fun no sew curtain.  I found some old pink fabric scraps I had laying around and tore them as well as some new pink fabric I purchased into thin pieces.  Next I cut a branch off of one of my Crape Myrtles to serve as the curtain rod.  I tied the fabric to the branch.  I looked around the house to see if I had something I could hang the branch from.  I found silver screen door knobs.  They worked perfectly!  I love my new cute little curtain.

 

I am so pleased with how Rosi is coming along!  The next big project I plan to tackle is redoing the floor...I envision pink glitter floor.  Now I have to figure out how to make that happen!  I love Rosi more and more all the time!
