A bit of Quote love ...

Every now and then I need to change things up a bit around our home. I am constantly doing something to improve and renew, whether it be big or small,  but I am struggling with it all at the moment, as our house in For sale. I am at the point where I can't make any permanent changes and don't really want to spend money on things that we aren't going to be able to take with us when we move. Insert FREE printables and some cheap frames. Such a perfect way to add some cheer and enough change to satisfy my nesting.

These 2 Love prints have been sitting in the cupboard for a while now, I got a bulk lot of them done at the photo shop, all printed on 5 x 7 paper and they look great. I have a few put away for our Valentines Day display, and some Christmas ones also.

I found these gorgeous plastic frames as a pack of 3 from Crazy Clarkes not long ago for just $5.95.

Bargain and child safe!! Perfect!

Gorgeous love quotes for our bedside tables!

And I have also had this gorgeous Scrabble tile 'HOME SWEET HOME' print waiting to be framed for some time. It was a free download and I found it HERE, and I just had it printed at a photo shop as a 5 x 7 and its gorgeous and clear. Perfect colours for the toy room too, and I placed it in a great spot for it to be seen every time someone enters our house and living area.

Next on the list to have printed and pop in a frame is this quote. I just love it!!
I think it will make a great addition to Stella's photo/art wall!!

So art and decor doesn't have to be expensive. Infact $6 for 3 pieces of art is pretty budget savvy if you ask me ;)

Laundry finishing touches

If you are a long time follower of my Facebook page, you would know that last year, we added some overhead cupboards and a benchtop to our teeny tiny laundry. I have never gotten around to sharing the finished product , because quite frankly, its never been finished.

Just small things, the bulk of it is finished and looks fantastic and is so much more user friendly, especially with a baby ,  but there are still a few little things that need to be marked off the list, that really bug me!!

However, one of the main things that I have wanted to finish in the room, is the wall decorations. Its quite hard to find nice prints, pictures or decorating items for a laundry, and I am quite fussy even when I do find something!! Its even more difficult when you already have a print and want the colours to match.

So the solution, of course, is making something myself!

So I made this cute little deco, and put it in a frame from IKEA.

It was so quick and easy, and Stella was even able to help!

She helped me find the letters on the sticker sheet!!

I just used a piece of cardstock in a matching colour to our existing print, trimmed it to a 5 x 7 size.

Then I found some white letters (these are with glitter and the Thickers range) and stuck them on.

Finished with a touch of glue on a teeny peg.

And next to our existing print, which is a free printable - details in my extended laundry post.

I have a few other ideas and things up my sleeve but I'll save that for another time!

And totally not related to our laundry but just because they are pretty,  gorgeous blooms from our garden have been adorning our dining table lately. They are so beautiful!!
