{FRIENDS iconic door}

I’ve always loved Friends and that iconic empty frame on their door. So cool! And because I strive to be that cool, here’s my personal version of that idea.

Instead of using a wreath hanger or nail in the door, I secured the frame to the door with a little bit of Velcro along with the sticky dots used in scrapbooking. I hung the “S” to the frame with a single strand of twine and also a little bit of Velcro on the back so it wouldn’t wobble every time we open the door.

I took the plain “S” and simply started tightly wrapping jute twine around it, every now and then applying hot glue to secure the twine around the curves and corners. No particular method, just wrap it.

Empty wooden vintage frame: originally from Hobby Lobby but I snagged it at a yard sale for $1. Gotta love a good yard sale!

Inexpensive , fun thrill. What do you think…did I achieve the “cool” look? 

{DIY: distressing furniture}

This was my bedroom set when I was a little girl!!! Excellently crafted with kind of a speckled egg finish. After storing it in the attic for 25 years, it was needing some TLC. It’s amazing what a little paint and an electric sander can do. There are plenty of online tutorials on how to paint and distress furniture so check those out before you start your own DIY project.
