DIY ART ( & Ikea )

Good morning everyone !

We've been really busy working on things but thought I'd pop in and share this - in case any of you are on your way to Ikea today 



Every now and then I come across something from that store that is just too cute for words !

Such as these black silhouette planters !

IKEA
For 6.99 each ( here in Montreal - you just know they're cheaper in the States, right ? )
From their website I thought they were stickers but they're actually black steel and the perfect Spring decor.

You can use the bottom rings to have them stand on a surface like this

IKEA
Or you can grab any old frame that you've backed with fence board - and rest them inside like this

DIY Wall Art

This simple fence planked frame is the perfect back drop for so many different styles !
I had a glitzy round mirror in it previously - but this is so " Spring like " right?

A nail in one of the " petals " holds them up - while the bottom pieces tuck perfectly into the bottom ledge of the frame


It rests over the guest room bed


Where the black curves tie in with the bed frame itself


Have a wonderful Monday everyone !
Much love
( what are you waiting for ?  Get to Ikea ! )

Swedish Grandfather Clocks ( LET'S ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK )

Good morning all!!!

Ohhhh - I want one of these sooooo badly
I LOVE them - have always wanted one of them - and WILL have one ( one day )
I never saw a room I didn't love them in

For those of you that are always bugging me about leaving a song in their head for the day - oh oh - 
you're in trouble this time :) or I am at the very least..................

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after time...................


source
One, Two, Three O'clock, Four O'clock rock,
Five, Six, Seven O'clock, Eight O'clock rock.
Nine, Ten, Eleven O'clock, Twelve O'clock rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.



source
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

source
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what
The time was that was on my watch, yeah...And I said

Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care 
If so I can't imagine why
We've all got time enough to cry


source
source
In these time passages
I know you're in there
You're just out of sight
Oh, time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight



source

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way.....................

source
sourc
To everything (turn, turn, turn) 
There is a season (turn, turn, turn) 
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

Brother of mine
Sister of mine
Brother of mine
Sister of mine
Heart and soul
Body and mind
Meet me on the river of time
Meet me on the river of time

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies


source

Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you

 


source
I suppose you know what time it is now, right?

Time to say Good-bye ( Con te partiro ) 

                                                                                 Rustic Living Room


But not before I show you this - which I found at IKEA



WHAT IS IT ???
Well it's a decal of a Grandfather Clock - made by a Swedish company after all - IKEA

Meet Gustav ( no idea where I got the name from lol ) complete with a blank " face "
to hang your clock from...............  I bought it to put in my dressing room ( whenever that gets done )
Isn't it the cutest thing ever?
It's just as tall as a regular Grandfather clock -
It's a pretty sad state of affairs when a cartoon version of something you really want, will do
but I think it'll be a fun, quirky, design element, don't you?


MORTORP Decorative stickers IKEA You can create a personal grandfather clock by framing an ordinary wall clock with the decorative sticker.


Oh my - I didn't realize how long this post took me to write up
I have some serious painting to do here guys,

Ain't it funny how time slips away?
