silhouette 101

Thursday, September 1, 2011

i've been working on a silhouette of payton for her room and finally finished.

i really wanted an oval frame, but they are usually more expensive until i found this mirror from hobby lobby for $5. i figured i could cover the mirror and act like its a frame and you would never know...well until i admitted to you.

there are many ways to do this, but here's how i did it.

i took a pic of payton
printed it out
cut it out very carefully & added the scoop neck
traced it on to black paper

as you can see below i ended up with this more modern flare of a silhouette by tracing it again on to a patterned paper

i did like how her features were really defined in the blk/wht

but i just wanted something different.

*now you should try it on you, kids, dog, cat....... you name it*

dining room

out with the old, in with the new & old :)
we sold our tall black table on craigslist and bought another table on craigslist.
(my hubby worked his magic and talked them into only buying the table and not the ugly chairs that came with it)
then we bought these clear chairs at ikea.
i really like the shape of the table. oval fits great in this room. i will paint the table a light gray.

we are going to build an L bench seat in the corner with storage and those
lines on the wall are where we will knock out to view the kitchen and
give us a bar on the kitchen side that will have bar stools.
...one project at a time...many more to come

lately...

on sunday morning we went to support our neighbors at their church's 1st sunday. they are the campus pastors at celebrations new south austin location. they meet at the met theater. thats a pic of their littlest one, they are buddies. we will miss them so much when they move.

we made it an austin day when we left service and went to soco. enjoyed some shopping around at the interesting stores and then had some yummy wahoos fish tacos. we wanted to eat at the trailer section (variety of different restaurants trailers), but it was just too darn hot.
i snapped the beautiful view of downtown while we were headed up congress. such a famous shot.
