– Easy Throw Pillow

2 / 21 / 121 / 12 / 18

Finally, my new rug has arrived and I love it …So now I’m adding the final touches to my family room.
I need some throw pillows and accessories. HomeGoods here I come…But whenever you have something specific in your mind it will be impossible to find it. I found instead an Apron that I liked and 4 Napkins.

So I took out my sewing machine and sewed this simple and easy envelope pillows after I searched the net for so long to find an easy tutorial below is my way of this easy tutorial. ( If you don’t know how to sew you can easily make this pillow by using steam-a-seam tape, I bought it from Joann Fabric and it worked great) you can check out my no-sew yellow pillow here.

I know we all hate maths but sometimes all these classes that we took when we were kids are helpful in real life lol so below is a simple illustration of what I did to have an easy simple pretty throw pillow.

Take the Length (L) and the Width (W) to an old pillow. So let’s say L=10 and W=10

A: Cut your fabric adding one inch at both the L and W ( for the seam). We should cut the fabric 11 inch by 11 inch

B: Then cut another piece of fabric, the Width (W) is the same W+ 1 inch, but the Length is by dividing the L by 2 then add 4 inches. We should cut the fabric 11 inch by 9 inches.

C: is the same as B.

I hope I was clear and I didn’t confuse you with my EASY throw pillow :). So now all you have to do is sewing all these 3 fabrics, and make sure the pretty sides of the 3 fabric are facing each other.

And if it was easy for your to understand my tutorial please check out this youtube video.

And now let me show you the final results, I hope you like them:

Do you like the pocket?

So the family room reveal should be coming soon 🙂

Thx

– Spray Paint: The Sky is The Limit

10 / 4 / 111 / 12 / 18

– Spray Paint Without Sanding

9 / 15 / 111 / 19 / 18

I hate sanding, I always wished that there is a way to paint without sanding. After some research, I found this easy way to spray paint without sanding: It is simply by applying an oil-based spray paint primer like: Zinsser.

Here is my before picture, I just wiped my nightstand from dust.

Then I applied my spray paint primer . After the primer is dry, I lightly sand it with a fine grid sanding wedge to get a very smooth finish.

Now time for spray paint, I used Rustoleum Black Gloss, I wanted to have a glossy surface so my nightstand doesn’t look dull in front of my shiny silver leaf dresser. I applied almost 3 light coats of black spray paint. ( always 2 or 3 lights coats are better than 1 heavy coat, like the nail polish concept).

I forgot to take picture with just the primer on 🙂

Since I didn’t distress the nightstand I wanted it to have some movement, so I chose the pulls to be silver so they can pop. I used “Rustoleum Metallic Silver”.

This nightstand is in my Master bedroom now, soon I will finish painting the walls and I will have the reveal, make sure you stop by to see it 🙂

– Spray Painting Mirrors 2

9 / 12 / 111 / 19 / 18

I’m obsessed with mirrors and vintage candle holders.
I’ve been searching for a nice mirror for my formal living room for ever, I didn’t find what I had in mind ( it looks that what I had in mind is either so rare either so expensive) so I settled for something else :).
What I wanted is something like this below mirror

And this is what I found , I couldn’t wait more I had to had a mirror on that empty wall, and if later I will find a mirror like the above I will buy it and this one will find a new wall 🙂
