Arabelli Decor, Dolls, Frills, & Bowdiddles: New Decor Make Over

I'm excited to present my "Arabelli" blog which is just one big portfolio of my Interior Design projects, Refurnished Furniture, Crafts, Dolls, and Parties. By doing this I hope to find my niche of what to do or sell on Etsy/ Ebay or maybe it will help give you all ideas for your home or gifts. It's named after my daughter, Arabella's nickname. Alot of this is for growth documenting purposes and as you will see, cakes and parties are not my strong point, but talents I hope to develop.

I'm going to add a Jewelry, Quilt and Art portfolio soon so stay tuned.

I also hope to write and illustrate a children's book series called "Ainsley Painsley Pudding and Pie" and make quietbooks to go along with the line, but it's mainly for Ainsley to remember all the crazy and cute things she did, but that probably won't be accomplished til I'm a grandma.

Enjoy looking around my portfolios and viewing my monthly projects.

New Decor Make Over

So I've been just itching to craft craft craft. I'm sick of my color booklet project so I took off two weeks to get ready for Halloween and just change up my house with some more color.

This was my inspiration- Agave plant. Someday I'll get the real big print or paint one my self.

I got these drapes from my neighbor (hung them with a shower curtain rod), saved these chairs from the dump and got the blue fabric from the bishop's wife.

Couch and side table I got from my neighbor as commission for helping her move and sell her furniture.

It came with 3 pillows which I made covers for (fabric from bishop's wife and scrap fabric I just had) + 2 pillows were chair cushions & one I already had. I love pinterest.com because I found some great easy pillow tutorials. Camera made the fabric look brighter.
