spring fling

As you may have noticed, I made a few changes to the blog. (No more Southern Classy)We are now Living a DIY Life, I felt that the title of the blog didn't give off the best description of what my posts were and will show. With that being said I hope y'all like the change, because there is a lot of change to be shown in todays post.

On Wednesday, February 19, 2014 big changed in this house. Travis started his big project at work. The first day for his company and the crew was a success. And I accepted an offer at a pharmacy for the position of Sales Marketing and Contracting Assistant. This day we have spent countless nights praying for and when it came a huge weight was taking off our shoulders. I have been working as a server at a restaurant for the past seven months waiting for the next opportunity to get back in a full time job. With the great money being a server there wasn't any rush or reason to find a job immediately. Now that I am officially a full-time employee I have decided to continue to work at the restaurant on weekends in hopes that bigger dreams can come true for our future. With the good news on Wednesday, I decided to do some splurge shopping and came home with this....

In our house we. love. change.

Yes, that would be another addition to the sitting room, the warmth of this room and my ideas continue to grow bigger and bigger. 


With a few TJ Maxx clearance frames and diy projects I have a complete console table.

Another change in our home would be this beautiful wreath I made, since spring is near and we have had a few sunny and 65 degree weather I decided it was time to pull out the flowers.

Michael's had an amazing President's Day Sale where I was able to get a great deal on my wreath items.

In the picture, there is a set of Hydrangeas, Peonies, and little bush Roses.

I decided to add a personal touch and put our house number on the wreath.




DIY Projects on the Console table:

DIY FRAME

I got the plain wooden frame and the scrap booking paper from Micheal's

I traced the outline of the frame onto the back of the paper then cut it

 Then I used mod podge gloss to use as glue for the paper to stick, paint it on with a paint brush, lay the paper on top. 

 Scrape out all air bubbles, then gloss the top with the mod podge as well.

 Put the picture in the frame and you will have a complete DIY frame.


DIY WOOD PRINT

I had some scrap wood from previous projects a few months ago that has been sitting around, with the urge to craft I decided I would make it a print.
Paint the wood 

 Take a paint pen, that way you can control your writing better, and write the quote, verse, caption you would like on the wood.
Isaiah 40:8
