Home Sweet Home–Create Along -Jan-Mar

I am thrilled that everyone is excited about this years project…I am sure we will make beautiful things together !
I are starting with our Living room / Dining room because every year after the Christmas decorations are put away, our house always looks sooooo sad & colorless … I need something new!
As I was searching for ideas I was “overwhelmed” with the possibilities ..they are endless !
I decided to start with some of the basic “decorating ideas “  …Pillows, Pictures, Quilts, Tablerunners, Coasters & Deco items. …we can all use these.
Pillows are always a great picker upper…I like to change the covers on our pillows for the holidays /seasons / my mood….here are some that I found were different.

Decorate your walls with new self-made pictures or a new layout….

1. Group your pictures together
2. Make a your own

Quilts are always lovely on a couch but I don’t think anyone plans on making one of them this year…I am hoping to finish a few though !
