Weekend Wrap Up!
The only way I get through my Mondays sometimes is by doing my weekend wrap up! This weekend we had the opportunity to venture up the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay on one of the most beautiful boats I have been on named Summer Love! And yesterday we had an amazing family celebration! Honestly though this Monday isn't that bad...one more day of school till summer!

Friday Finds...Gorgeous Shiny Things!
I found this blog the other day and what can I say...WOW she is talented! Introducing to all my Notebook readers...this is Danika Herrick out of Boston, MA! Her blog is Gorgeous Shiny Things! I wanted to share one of her talented DIY projects! Here is her hand painted trellis wall!
So here is how it is done...
Find your inspiration, pattern or design you are obsessed with, in my case it was Quadrille's China Seas Trellis Background, or just make one up if you are super talented. Next map it out and figure out your scale. I guessed at the scale and decided I would make the square panels roughly 12" wide. After studying the image I found online for hours and mapping it out in my head, I taped the sections out and free handed the pattern with a Sharpie. The good thing about this trellis is that it was rather loose so it hid my mistakes. Another trick is to draw your design out and have it blown up to scale at a copy shop. That way you can just trace it and it is scaled out to your liking.
AMAZING!!! What a great idea and an easy DIY! If you can't draw out a pattern ask a friend! Tape, paint, and enjoy!
HAPPY FRIDAY NOTEBOOK READERS!!!

Frame + Foto of the Day!
Fun and funky is what comes to mind for the frame of the day! Which fits this foto of the day perfectly! Here are some of my girls, Grace, Claire, and my sister Molly, who came to celebrate my 31st birthday over the weekend! Great times! Thanks for coming ladies!!!
DIY ALERT!
Love love love this idea! I found it on Pinterest through a blog Ash Bee Designs! What a simple and easy way to keep your garage, shed, or basement organized year round! You could apply this same idea to your cleaning supplies!
All you need is a piece of PVC pipe, some screws, and an open wall! If you aren't the best at cutting using a circular saw...try asking a friend who is! You will be organized in no time!
HAPPY DIYING!!!

3D wall Art!
Love this lattice work on the wall...what a fun DIY using 1 x 2 pieces of lumber! This is a must try for me!
Here are a couple companies that make these dimensional wall panels
These panels are a great way to change up a space! This is a perfect option for renters trying to spruce up their apartments or house without painting!
