'gone awol'
evil villan: bland kitchen
hero: the power-packed dou - 'monogram' and 'vintage colander'
i've gone awol, no, i am not absent - but it seems like it. my goal was to have at least 1 post per week and i am already failing! but who's really paying attention to this blog but me anyway.
i just wanted to share a really thrifty way to add some flare to your home. i love monogram - monogram, monogram and more monogram. so to show off my love affair with monogram i decided to hang a few on my wall - that's where we get the 'awol' or 'A-wall'. ha ha - you're not laughing?
well, you might be thinking that this is way too much, but i love it! each letter was about $1. i painted them or modge-podged on scrapbook paper. the total cost was under $5. not too bad. and the best part about doing it myself is being able to personalize it! see below.
if you decide to create this yourself - send me a pic of your very own A-wall or B-wall or C-wall or D-wall... also, for the whole 'thrifty to nifty' i found these little beauties. they were a little more than i would have liked to spend. about $10 for the two. the problem with thrift stores is that you never know if you'll see something there again so you've got to buy it if you really want it. i got the red and the yellow, now all i need is the green and i've got my very own 'colander stop light'. i love these bright and glossy enamel colanders. they add a great splash of color to my bland kitchen. with a touch of vintage. very fun.
side note. i am seriously thinking about changing my blog to 'upcyclery'. why? well that is really what i am passionate about. i love the idea of taking something that can be almost useless to something more and something different. i just want some opinions on the matter. i have already created the blog so it's just a matter of creating a link and getting the word out. let me know.
