Personal Space

Nothing says personalized style like a great monogram or a custom painted piece for your home. At my house, I have probably gone overboard. Like my husband says, "There is no denying that this house is ours".
I think that a pillow with a letter or a tray, bucket, etc... can make a conversation piece or even define a space. Have fun with this idea.
I have put a few pictures of some easy DIY projects that you can do to jazz up that chair or outdoor patio!
ENJOY!!

For this project take a fun piece of fabric (can be scrap) and have a monogram store embroider a large letter on it. Then find a pre-matted frame and frame it like you would a picture. EASY!

I bought this wooden tray at Hobby Lobby, painted it with acrylic paints, addes swirls and dots then put a coat of polyurethane on it.

A sweet lady sewed the buttons on this pillow for me, but the same effect can be achieved using old buttons and a little fabric glue(my favorite).

Take an inexpensive galvanized bucket (Wal-mart or Target) and paint designs and a monogram on it, then spray a sealer on it to make it water resistant. You will have to spray several coats to ensure that the paint will not chip off. If you do not like to paint free-hand...use a stencil!
