A couple of finished DIY's

Hola!  I finished painting and (almost) repairing the dresser (1 leg to glue!).  Here it and an ink stain are for you to view:

We're adding rugs... lots of rugs, but we also need to rent a carpet shampooer.

Do you remember this pin?  Originally seen on Poppytalk.
The process was fairly basic.  I chose a color swatch from Benjamin Moore that matched my bedroom and then I bought a bunch of samples.  I also labeled them according to the drawer that they went on so I wouldn't get confused.

Last week I was talking about the Jelly Planter from Angus and Celeste and thinking about a DIY version.  I did order a pink one and I have no idea when it will be here, but I do know where it's going.  Anyway, the jello tins I ordered came Friday and I went forward with my DIY. 
I love it!
I used some green cord that I already had and some Montana Cans flesh spray paint (also already had this for another project).  The plants are some from around the house.  This photo was taken in the living and the planter matches the wall, but the bathroom is white and that's where this planter is living.  I'm happy with it and I have a few more tins to try things out with.  I took photos for a tutorial, but I haven't put that together yet.  Once I work on it a little more, it will likely be available in my Etsy shop.

I fell in love...

...with the jelly planter.  It's amazing right?

It's in Australia though and the shipping fee is almost as much as the planter itself.  I've been a little plant hungry lately and so I've been perusing what's out there in the world of hanging plants.  I found this one on Etsy and thought it was ceramic.
It isn't.  It's track lighting and it comes with the succulent inside which is nice, but not exactly what I'm looking for.  So it gave me an idea, what would happen if I punched holes in a tin jello mold and gave it a coat of spray paint?  The wheels are turning!  I ordered a few tin molds from eBay today and I should find out within a week.  Woohoo!  Still though, I love that planter.
