Chapter 6: My Little Project

My husband and I moved the first weekend in November.  We were then gone most of November for weddings, new job orientation, and Thanksgiving.  I found out that when you do not unpack right away... you almost never unpack.  At least that was my case.

So, here we are in March and I still have done very little decorating!  (Thankfully most of the boxes are now put away) I decided our dining room was far too bare, so I decided to make a little wall installment to encourage me to keep fresh flowers in the living room and too give us a country, warm, homey feeling.

Here is what I did!

What you need:
1 Hammer
2 Nails
1 Piece of driftwood from the Pacific Ocean (that's where we got ours)
2 Metal brackets (I found ours in the electrical department of the hard ware store)
A few baby food jars
Some fresh flowers
Some twine

I fastened the twin around the baby food jars then secured them around the piece of driftwood.  I measured out the same general length of twine, but due to the width of the wood and my knot fastening abilities, they came out at different lengths.  But I really liked that.  We then held up the piece to the wall to decided where we wanted it.  We then put the brackets on and hammered those into the wall.  Just add water and flowers and tah-dah!  A GREAT addition to any living room!

I hope you liked my little project.  Now for that other wall...
