Winter Welcome




The twinkle in my eye that gives my hubby cause to pause is followed by a smile and these suggestive words  "How about we paint the   town   (substitute a room)     red      (substitute a color) tonight?


What a guy! He's such a good sport and so very handy with a paintbrush!

 Our most recent paint date was inspired by a Sherwin Williams paint color called Warm Stone and took place in our entryway.   A beautiful brown gray that I anticipated would be a stand out against the painted white trim.
For winter wall art, I took a large white vintage frame (28" x 40"), cut a couple of pieces off a silver garland and attached them to the frame with white pipe cleaners (not gluing allows me to reuse the frame for another project).

I trimmed the garland for winter using glass icicles, snowflakes etc.  Hanging a large snowflake  in the center of the frame and layering a couple of smaller snowflakes over it completed the piece.      


Voila!


A winter welcome for all to enjoy!

P.S. The red door is freshly painted as well - a Sherwin Williams red called Heartthrob.  Thanks Hon, I love it!
