GOLD VALENTINES gold chest reveal
There is something special about my new project that has
got me rather smitten with it, and here we are on Valentines Day.
I have a busy day ahead of me and not much time to write
but I wanted to share these photos with you.
You should see it in person it really is amazing, I keep reaching out and touching it.
Here is what it looked like before I started to work on it, you may not be able to tell but its gold.
I did a funky finish using the gold and I added long legs all the way around.
I used some great over sized hardware and added some perfectly placed wood appliques.
I even had to do some rebuilding to get the legs attached right.
And on this Valentines Day I dont mean to break your hearts but this pieces is staying with me.
But that means something else must go so keep watching ...
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!

Fall Decor Gold Magnolia Wreath
When it comes to seasonal decorations, I like to keep it pretty simple. This year for fall, I decided to make a wreath and after seeing Britts fall inspiration from Gus & Lula.
I decided to use magnolia leaves because I liked the shape and thought the thickness of the leaf would hold up well. Since I am using real leaves, I dont plan to keep it past the season, but I hope that it holds up for the next few months.
I gathered some leaves ...
cut a 14" foam floral wreath in half so it will sit flush on the door and Ill have one for Christmas, thanks for the idea Pinterest!
I then poked diagonal holes with a meat thermometer ...
filled with a little craft glue and put the leaves in at an angle. I ended up with about three rows of overlapping leaves.
Once the glue dried (about an hour or two) I sprayed it with Krylons gold spray paint
I used a 3M hook to mount it to the door, tied ribbon around the wreath fairly tight so that it wouldnt move as much, and attached it to the hook.
Total cost: foam wreath was about $4 (Michaels with 40% coupon) and gold spray paint was also about $4 (Michaels with 40% coupon), leaves were free!
about $8, plus I have the other half of the wreath to use later!
Total time was about an hour or two ...
Im working on the rest of our porch decor, stop by soon for pics!
