Vinyl Wall Decal for Closet

-
We received a "Bless this Home" vinyl wall decal as a housewarming gift and I absolutely loved it.  Vinyl decals are a great decorative touch and easy to install.  Now, as to how easy they are to remove, I am unsure.  However, I do not anticipate having to remove them for a while. 

I wanted to find a wall decal for my closet that would be something inspiring.  One of the people I have always admired is Audrey Hepburn.  I love her outlook on life and the class she exuded in both real life and the characters she portrayed on screen.  While searching for inspirational quotes, I came across this quote from her and decided to use it for the wall decal.   

This one was purchased from Amazon.com from a vendor called Wheeler3Designs.  There are a few other sellers that have this particular item on the Internet.  Wheeler3Designs got this to me quickly and it arrived just as described.


To install the vinyl decal, first wipe down the surface where the decal will go.  Then put the decal against the wall, there should be a paper backing facing outward.  Run a credit card over each part of the decal.  This part can take a little time, but make sure all parts of the vinyl stick to the wall.  Once the entire decal has been rubbed onto the wall, gently pull the paper backing away from the wall. 

Now I catch a glimpse of this in the mornings before leaving the house, and it makes me smile.

After seven years with this cute, but uncomfortable cheap sofa, we have finally moved on to something new.  I had been telling my husband for years, we work hard, at minimum we should be comfortable in our own house.  The problem with this sofa is that the cushions were rather flat, once you sat down on the piece.  Also, the seat depth was too long for my short legs.  It forced me to sit in an awkward position that was uncomfortable and hard on my lower back. Here's our old sofa and living room setup. So, after much back and forth about the type of sofa we wanted, we finally decided on something we could both agree on.  He was team three cushion couch, I was team sectional.  I think the standard three cushion sofa is so uncomfortable.  Who wants to sit down without putting their feet up?  I love sectionals because they are comfy and my favorite spot is the corner seat. But, Mr. C is right, they can be big, take up a lot of room and limit...

Mickey Mouse Cookies and DIY Cookie Cutter

For the Little Mister's Mickey Mouse themed party, we wanted to have some cookies decorated with the Mickey theme.  I had a difficult time locating the right size cookie cutter locally.  I found a set of Mickey Mouse cookie cutters, but they would have made for some really small cookies. I had seen a few things on the internet about making your own cookie cutter.  I was running out of time and had difficulty finding the right size mouse face and ears in a cookie cutter,  I decided to give making my own cutter a try. I used this tutorial by Queen Leilani on YouTube.  The instructions for making the cutter begin around the two minute mark of the video.  This video was apparently a contest submission, so she does quite a bit of talking before the tutorial.  However, her instructions on actually making the cutter are quite easy to follow. The cookie cutter I made came out better than I expected.  I just kind of kept playing around with the...

I have been having a difficult time finding maternity dress pants.  I would like to not pay a fortune for them.  Additionally, I was already an in between size before pregnancy.  Plus size close are usually too big, but some of the misses clothes were too tight and ill fitting.  I am also short, so finding dress pants that fit well and that do not requeire hemming is also a challenge.    I bought these pants from New York and Company about two years ago.  I wore them three times before the zipper broke.  I was pretty disappointed because I loved the way these pants fit.  I considered bringing them to a tailor, and put them off to the side to do so.  However, as with a few other pieces I have in need of altering, I forgot about them.  Now, I am glad I never brought them to the tailor because I decided to turn them into maternity pants.   The key to turning regular pants into maternity pants is to make sure they f...
