CSN Rugs Giveaway! *CLOSED*

It's been awhile since I've been on and I would like to come back with a giveaway to get the blog juices flowing, if you will. I have been presented with a wonderful giveaway opportunity for my readers provided by CSN rugs. They have a wonderful selection of area rugs including, contemporary, shag, oriental, modern, southwestern, etc.

Many of the styles come in a variety of sizes to ensure you get just the right fit for your home. There's also a huge selection of designer rugs. I had a great time searching through their seemingly endless selection of rugs. I am in the middle of purchasing my first home, and this is definitely going to be one of my resources for area rug decor. Their prices are affordable and they have a great selection of sale and clearance items as well.

Make Something Monday

I've been working on some new frames. Each of the new frames are hand painted and/or decorated and are done using recycled picture frames. I'm enjoying getting to use different techniques and textures, while still making them nice to look at and something that people would like as part of their decor.

The first frame is about a 5x7 in ceramic frame that I painted with a white enamel. I made some basic stencils for the "zebra" print and then brushed over the white with a turquoise. To add a little touch, I added an orange flower blossom to accent it.

The second frame was base painted with turquoise, dry brushed with an aqua, and then dotted with a leafy green and accented with orange flowers. All was hand painted. 8x10

The third frame is a 5x7 frame that was base painted with a bright orange, covered with crackle primer and then topped with the turquoise. Accented with a wooden motorcycle decorative piece.

One of these will be used to go to Bloggers Give on behalf of my etsy shop, KaiLei Designs! I'm so excited!
