So, if anyone knows me, they know that I'm not a decorator. Usually it's just an inconvenience, but this moving into a new house thing has elevated my deficiencies to a very frustrating problem. My issue with decorating is that I get a good idea in my head and then get halfway through the project before I realize my lack of skill makes things turn out looking..well..scary. The good news is that with my brains and Justin's perfectionism, the house is actually looking pretty good. Here are two of my brainchildren. I don't think that's a word, and if it is, I didn't use it right, because it feels awkward. Oh well. C'est la vie.
Thanks to Justin, this project didn't turn into a complete disaster. And we did these ourselves. Hot glue, fabric, and a lot of fingers glued to wood. Boom. Decorative squares.
Here's the completed mantle. You can ask my friend Emily, I worked on this for about two hours and tried about seven different things.
