2010 New Designs

I have a lot of new designs for the new year. Here are a few of my favorites:

New Colors

I'm really excited to announce the release of our new vinyl colors. I had a really hard time selecting colors and I have added 15 new colors. They are all great additions and will give customers a better selection for matching their home decor.

I also have new designs that will be posted throughout the week!

Merry Christmas

Just stopping by to say.. Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays! I'm taking a little vacation myself and will be back in 2010! Check back to see my new designs. I'm excited to show them to you!

More Customer Photos

Awhile back I worked with a customer on some decals for her place. We took some designs from the shop and tweaked them to fit her style and personal taste. She sent me some pictures and I think she did a great job!

Top left corner: We took the new birdhouse monogram and switched the bird for a heart. We Also reduced the number of circles around the 'G' to give it a more elegant feeling. And we used a different font for the 'G'.
I love the laurel wreaths on the doors. We did these at about 1/2 the normal size and used a different font for the letters. Check out the bottom left picture, this was a rendition from the flower bunch decal I have in the shop. She elongated the stems and reduced the flowers down to three. I really like this one..I may just offer it in the shop. We also did some jumbo cupcakes. Aren't they fun?

Home Decor - Owls

Quite awhile ago I bought these adorable vintage cast iron owls from Etsy seller Hellcat Vintage
Although I'm totally liking the orange/yellow 1970s color combo, I knew that wasn't the style that I was going for and wanted to modernize them a bit. The paint was also a little dinged up from 30+ years of use. (Just imagine all the homes they have lived in!)

I knew that I wanted them one color and I was kinda leaning towards white. I'm lucky that my husband has a powder coating business and one day he brought home a car part that he had coated in a metallic bronze color. I knew right away that was the perfect color for my owls and talked him into taking on the project. Check these babies out!

They are absolutely perfect. They look brown in the house until the light hits them just right and then they are a beautiful sparkly bronze. Next I'm going to talk him into redoing our cabinet handles and other metal fixtures throughout our house. It's a really practical way to reuse (go green!) and it also saves money. What more could a girl want?!
