Last year was my first year to start blogging and it got pretty adictive. I created this blog so my family and friends could see my before and after creations. Didn't realize that other people would too and actually like the things I created. Needless to say it made 2009 better than I had imagined not to mention it gave me more of a challange for 2010.
This year I'd like to create more and sell more. The projects I do now are either mine or belong to close friends. I see some projects from other blogs now and think "WOW, wish I could do that". Wouldn't it be awesome to make a living at what you really, really love doing. That would be my perfect world!
So thanks again for checking in and I hope to "WOW" you with some of my projects~
Happy New Year,
Rita
This is a little project I did yesterday:
My friend Angie found this by the dumpster where she lives.
Then my sister Olivia gave me a book for Christmas called "Wallpaper Projects" which got the creative juices flowing so I used wallpaper trim I got from a thrift store for 50 cents and hadn't used yet.
I had to splice it so I could cover the back completely. I also painted it black to match the decor in my bathroom. Here's what I came up with.
It still needs something like some embelishments or something so let's consider this done for now! Not bad for spending less than one dollar !
Until next time,
Rita

It looks soooo much better. It had a very dated/country kind of look to it and you really updated it and made it chic. I love the contrast of the paper and the paint.
Great job--it can out amazing.

Cheri
