Some New Decor for Me and You! (Giveaway)

July 17, 2019July 15, 201910 Comments

Good morning! It’s Wednesday and we don’t normally post anything on Wednesday’s but today is a special day. Not only is it the middle of the week (meaning there’s only 2 more days until Friday), but we have an awesome sponsored post from Canvas Factory!!!

*This blog post is sponsored from Canvas Factory. All opinions expressed in this blog post are our opinions.*

We have worked with Canvas Factory in the past and they have been super awesome to work with! If you want to see the other beautiful canvases that we got from Canvas Factory, click on the photos below and they will take you to those past blog posts.

Canvas Factory is an awesome website with millions upon millions of photos that you can choose from for your home. Not only can you pick from 13 different categories to search through the pictures, but you can add your own if you have a photo that you absolutely love and want to hang in your home. And you don’t have to pick a canvas! You could pick an acrylic or metal print as well. There are so many different options for you to pick from!

Which is why this was so so difficult for me!

Now, I have a beautiful canvas that is hanging on my gallery wall in my living room. It is a very simple picture of a compass (see link above), but it fits with all of my travel themed items. But this time, I didn’t want to add to my living room again. I wanted something different, for a different room in my apartment.

I thought about getting a Disney themed canvas for my future Disney gallery wall. But I don’t know when that’s going to happen so I didn’t want to order something that I couldn’t put up right away. And then I thought about getting a picture of succulents because I have been super into succulents and would love to hang a canvas in my kitchen with my hanging planter. But then I found something better to go above my hanging planter.

And then it hit me. It hit me almost as hard as a rock if someone had thrown it at me. Why couldn’t I put a new canvas in my bedroom?

WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THIS BEFORE????

My bedroom is all Paris themed (which, if you’ve seen my past apartment tours you may remember). I have a lot of Paris themed pictures to hang on my wall but recently I found a new space on my wall for a picture. It wasn’t a big space but it was perfect size for a new canvas.

So I hopped over to Canvas Factory and searched ‘Eiffel Tower’ and I got I don’t know how many results. But it was a lot. And I searched through them all until I found the one. The one single photo that I wanted on my wall. So with a few more clicks, I picked out my size and ordered it right to my door.

And this is the result.

How pretty is this canvas? Not only does it feature the Eiffel Tower but it shows the river and the beautiful sunset in the background. I also love that it fits perfectly under my little blingy Paris sign. It’s almost like it was meant to be.

Here’s a couple more photos of the mini gallery wall that I have in my bedroom.

I have this mini gallery wall above some of my small display. It’s not all Paris themed, like the rest of the room, but it all works together. A cute purse, some flowers, a Paris tote, and an old fashion shoe bag that I drew a Banksy picture on. It’s all so cute! Everything works so perfectly together and I couldn’t be happier with the result!

Now! You’ve made it to the end and guess what! There is a chance to win a free canvas from Canvas Factory! The people at Canvas Factory have been nice enough to let one lucky person get a canvas as well! So if you click down below you will be taken to the place to enter the raffle. This will be open for one full week (July 17-July 24) and the winner will be announced in the Top 10ish Round Up on July 26th. Make sure you enter you do each of the options to get the most amount of entries!

And We Have a Winner!

Hello everyone! It’s Friday and guess what that means. We have our winner of the Canvas Factory Givaway.

And our winner is Jillian Too!

Congrats! Shoot us an email and we will give you the code for the free canvas!

Also, this blog is reposted and I loved how this table turned out. So enjoy!

I have never been one to have a fancy table for a few reasons. 1: I live with other people. 2: I never sit at the table to enjoy the tablescape. But, I have decided that I would actually put a tablescape together.

So TADA!

I used a grey scarf as my table runner to keep the table neutral and use other colors to pop. I added a lot of Paris style items to the middle as a centerpiece. You will be able to see the centerpiece shortly.

Now…I actually used my roommate Lydia’s dishes because I have red and yellow dishes. So I had the large plate, the salad plate, and the bowl because you never know what you will need for a meal. I added the silverware and a glass to finish off the setting. But, to add a pop, I added a small glass bowl with a pink cupcake that my roommate Danielle had made. Yum!

For the centerpiece, I used quite a few different items. The best piece is the old film camera. I don’t have any film for it, but it still works! I am able to zoom, click, and “turn the film” which is fun. I added a pink Eiffel Tower that holds my photos and a mason jar that my mom covered with scrapbooking paper and stickers for my bedroom.

On this side of the centerpiece, I have a mannequin jewelry holder that I bought from Ross and another small mason jar that my mom redid. You can now see the camera from a different point of view.

And to finish off the centerpiece, I have this wonderful bottle of Van Ruiten Chardonnay that hasn’t been opened yet. It is a great addition to the centerpiece and hopefully when I open it, it will be delicious.

So that is my tablescape. I hope I can do more soon, if my roommates allow it…

Adding to the Gallery Wall + A Giveaway!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week and you are ready for the weekend. Did anything exciting happen during the week?

*This is a sponsored blog post and contains content from an affiliate*

I don’t know how many of you remember, but we worked with Canvas Factory before. This website creates some of the highest quality canvas pictures and they turn out absolutely amazing! You can either use a picture that is already on their website or you can upload one of your own. And there are so many ways you can customize your pictures and make them your own!

While exploring the pictures on the website, I couldn’t decide what kind of picture I wanted. After searching through all of the pictures, I finally came across one that I liked. Something simple to add to my gallery wall.

And I came across this! And I fell in love!

Isn’t it pretty! It’s very simple but gorgeous. Though it is slightly hard to tell from the picture, the compass is actually a dark blue color, not black. But either way, it looks great with all of the other pictures!

So, now I have added this and a few other pieces to my wall and it is slowly getting closer to being finished. But…I still have a ways to go until I can finally say the wall is done.

I think it is looking fabulous! Just a few more arrows and words and it will be finished. I never realized how much work actually went into putting a gallery wall together. But I’m having a lot of fun doing it!

Now how would you guys like to get a free canvas from Canvas Factory??? I know, awesome isn’t it! All you need to do is following the link below and there are a few options of things you can do to be entered into the raffle! You have until September 20th at 11:59 pm to enter and I will be announcing the winner in my blog for next week. So check it out and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Guest Room Complete & Canvas Giveaway

January 23, 2017January 26, 201718 Comments

Good morning! Hope you all had a good weekend! We had lots and lots of rain, which we do need so badly. Thankfully, it stops for awhile in between storms so the water has time to drain. And guess what!? It’s our 2 Year Blogiversary!!! I can hardly believe it! Thank you to all our wonderful followers and supporters! Obviously we couldn’t keep going if it wasn’t for all of you! You are so appreciated and we really have enjoyed getting to know you and reading all your sweet comments.

Since I couldn’t get out much, I was able to get a little more done in my house. I mostly worked on the guest room/craft room/Lauren’s room. It’s basically the same as it was at the other house, but this room is much larger. So nice! I actually have room to stretch out a bit!

Before we moved to our new house, I was contacted by CanvasFactory.com. They offered to send me a 16 X 20 canvas of my choice. I could either upload my own picture to be placed on a canvas or use one of their 20 million wall art prints. There are so many sizes and styles to choose from! There are canvas, acrylic glass, aluminum or collages. You can order a single print, like I did, a split canvas, or a do a whole canvas display. Plus, CanvasFactory is giving away a 16 X 20 canvas of your choice! Just enter the Rafflecopter at the end of the post. Good luck!

It took me awhile to go through the different prints they offered, but I finally decided on an old-fashioned bicycle. Even then, I had to choose between what color bicycle and what style. I finally chose black and white.

The quality of this canvas is so great! The background is very white, so the black bicycle really stands out. There is even a bit of a sparkle to it!

Here you can see some of the great detail.

Even the back is finished nicely. There is black velvet all around the back edge to protect your walls and a sturdy hanger too.

I would love to have a few more of these around! They really look nice and add a great element to your room. Continue reading to find out how you can win a canvas of your own from Canvas Factory!

Okay, on to the guest room! Obviously, I hung this CanvasFactory.com print in the guest room, so now I will show you the rest of it. It started out as quite a mess! I really hadn’t done anything to it since we had the painting (Benjamin Moore, Simply White)done. So I unloaded everything from the desk and put it onto the bed.

Then I started with my ribbon basket. I took everything out and gave it a good dusting. I did get rid of a few rolls and then secured all my other rolls with straight pins so I wouldn’t have pieces of ribbon hanging all over.

Much better!

What a difference a good cleaning can make!

I used the same bedding and curtains I had before.

I did change up the dresser a bit though. I used a lot of the same things, just rearranged them a bit.

I really like how fresh and clean the room is now. It feels ready to take on a new craft project! Slowly, but surely, the house is coming together. We have several big projects to tackle, and several little ones, but it’s nice to see some progress.

I have added some links to some items similar to what I have in my guest room if you are interested. I earn a little bit from each sale, but there is no extra charge for you. Thanks for taking a look!
