Almost spring!

Just thought I would post a few pictures from around the house today. I have been feeling like it needed some sprucing up around here. In general it needs some COLOR in my opinion...a little spring make-over so to speak. So while Hobby Lobby had a big sale on prints and art a while ago, I purchased this cute little matted print. (I think it only cost me $9.00!) And the chandelier print was also purchased there. You can't tell from the picture but the black chandelier image is actually fuzzy velvet. (This one also cost me $9.00! Such a deal.) I have it hung in the back hallway which is also my office. I have had them sitting here just waiting for me to get my act together and get them hung up. Sometimes I feel like I have so many "projects" in progress...this was one of the many! So it felt great to get it done, and it's so refreshing to have something new and spring-like to look at while I work. Very inspiring! (Oh, and the "Love what you do" plaque is from Hallmark and it's printed on a ceramic tile.)

I like to redecorate from time to time even if I don't have anything "new" to put out. I just go around the house and kind of reorganize things. Change them around, take some down, and then pull them out later as if they are brand new, even though I may have had them for years! This is a little antique wire message board that I had gotten last summer on a trip to Colorado. I had it sitting here all this time, and it was time I found it a home. I am still playing around with what I want to hang on it, but this is just what I stuck up there so far. It will definitely be changed out frequently!

And here is one more project that I have had sitting on my desk for a few weeks. It's an old EXIT sign that doesn't light up anymore, but I had envisioned maybe putting different patterned papers behind each letter? I am not quite sure what I will do with it. It needs to be cleaned up a little first. I liked it though, it was unique and only cost me $5!
Any ideas? I would love some! Hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day. I am so lame, I totally forgot to even wear green. (I didn't get pinched though!) At least the kids had it on...that was totally accidental! LOL.
