Crafty Weekend

We had a super relaxing weekend, and both of us were able to make significant dents in our to-do lists. My list was more fun and crafty, while Mr. SE continued to finish working on his media center. Side note- I cannot wait to post a picture of the finished product. It looks fantastic!

I worked on my yarn wreath and finished covering the whole wreath form. Now I just need to make the felt flowers and learn how to tie a pretty bow. Perhaps I'll watch a YouTube tutorial for that one. Also on my crafty to-do list is my office. I love the preppy, upbeat palette we chose of white/navy/kelly green. It's been super fun to decorate! I decided to re-cover my computer chair, since the toile that my mom did in college doesn't match anymore. Granted it is blue, but it's more shabby chic then preppy and modern. I went with a bright white and navy striped fabric to compliment the green and white graphic print decorator's table cloth that's nearby. Here's an "in process" cell phone picture. Please scuse my office mess- it's tax time.

The process of covering the yarn wreath is time consuming, but I found it therapeutic to just stop and watch TV while I wound the yarn around and around. I watched several episodes of Bethenny and Nate Berkus. There's always a bevy of Nate on our DVR, since I record the show every day. He had the most creative idea that I just had to share-- make a shelving unit out of tables cut in half and secured together. I mean, seriously? How cool does this look! I love how this unit is painted a dark teal, and it kind of reminds me of the new guest room that John & Sherry did. What a great way to take cheap Craigslist finds and make them something special and unique. I think this would be cool for our bonus or guest room, for a funky feel. What do you think?
