STOP IT WITH THAT STOPPER!



















This Bulldog door stopper is so cute  freaking adorable!
I heart it. It looks just like my bulldog Charlie except this 
one is not as chubby, and my Charlie would let anyone
 through the door. Still such a great idea!! P.S I'm obsessed 
with bulldogs (especially mine) and also with anything
 fun/ unusual for around the house. :)

KELLY GREEN, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE COLOR!







Kelly green is everything to me right now. I love it. I want it. I need it in my life. Here is a picture of the headboard I am in the process of making. (by that I mean I have designed and drawn out, but as far as making it goes...well don't hold your breath.) I came up with this design all in my head. I wanted something fun and whimsical for the fabric but also adult-ish. I ended up drawing this out. Funny thing is, I later went to the Ikea website and found a fabric almost identical!!! Can you believe it. This is an instance of design fate, which means in the end, you know it will look good.







Look This is the Ikea Fabric  - It was just what I had in mind for the project at a great price! Luve it, luuve it!!


To Create this headboard you will need.....
* Plywood
* Staple Gun ( Electric works better)
* Batting 
* Fabric of your choice
* Upholstery Nails
* Drill
* Hot Glue Gun
* Glue
* Cording
* Upholstered Buttons
* Hammer


Now, to some people, Kelly Green may sound like a scary color to use on a wall or any main focal point in a room, whether it be a large piece of furniture or an architectural element. Here are some examples of different applications. As you can tell, it really is stunning. I think it makes such a statement!
