Welcome!

My name is Bronwyn and I am so glad you have stopped by for a visit! I hope you find joy and inspiration in everything you see here. I live with my family in a new, builder-grade townhome in a small city, even though my dream home would be a century old farmhouse in the countryside. Daily I strive to add warmth, "age," and character to our little home. I love to knit, crochet, sew, decorate, bake and go thrift shopping. These are all a wonderful release after my three small children are off to bed each evening. Thankfully, I have a patient and understanding husband, Kevin, who allows me to bring all kinds of crazy things into our home in the the name of "creativity."

Bathroom Reminder Signs

Do you ever get the feeling that something is missing?
 That there is gap where there shouldn't be a gap?

I have had this feeling about the space above the kids' bathroom toilet for ages!
Here is a photo of the bathroom early last fall before I started its colour transformation.  
 The room is no longer blue and orange, and I am very happy with how it has turned out (you'll see it in the next few days!) but that open space above the turquoise basket needed SOMETHING. . . .


So last night I grabbed a few dollar store canvases and made THESE:



Simply done, yes, but graphic and space-filling at the same time!!

And goodness knows, my kids could use the reminders, too!

The "quilt-looking" area of each sign  is squares of coordinating scrapbook paper that I applied with homemade Mod Podge ( you know- white glue and water !)



I cut the letters using my Cricut and black cardstock. 
On they went with Mod Podge, too.


And here is a shot of the signs, in place, with a few other items in the "bathroom transformation."


Can't show you much more because where is the surprise in that??

Want to see another Mod Podge sign I made? Here is a link to my "Baby It's Cold Outside" sign.

And that Heart Mosaic art hanging above the medicine cabinet above - it can be found HERE.
