House Project #3~Cable Spool!

All you need is LOVE.
This pic is perfect for this post b/c yesterday was Thanksgiving and it's all about LOVE! Hope everyone had an amazing day with family and friends!

 I am continuing to post house projects where I have used some of the Designer House pieces in my own home.

Project #3~Cable Spool
I literally walked into a Lowe's and walked out with this beauty. : )
Free, functional and, to me, adorable.

My new office bookshelf!

Love all the colors.

and the details of the spool. 

Perfect place to display my little treasures.


BEFORE

This is how I used it at the Designer House... next to the most beautiful reclaimed teak from Indonesia and it holds the lovely and transparent Kartell Bourgie lamp. I dig the idea that something so insignificant works with these fine pieces. 


Until next week... Project #4~ Wallpaper Accent!

Have a good one!

House Project #2~Recovered Otto!

In the next couple of posts I will introduced some of my favorite accents from the room I designed, for the RSOL Designer House, into the Molitor household!

1st Project: Doak's Art by Eddie P. 

2nd Project: Recover ottoman

When I put Doak's art piece up I knew recovering an existing ottoman would be the perfect way to tie it together... 

I had two pieces of leftover fabric from the pillows I had made for the D.H., thanks to U-FAB!
 I ended up using the horizontal design over the peacock for the ottoman. The peacock will be perfect for an accent pillow on my sofa!  

Perfect size! 

All you need is a staple gun.

And wrap it like a present!

House Project #1~Doak's art is up!

For the next few weeks I'll be posting house projects I've been working on...
First up... Doak's art from Eddie P. aka Red All Over!

Doak posing next to his masterpiece... you can kinda see the scale. HUGE!

The original ottoman I covered isn't going to cut it with the new art...

I have these tiny pieces of fabric left over from the Designer House pillows I had made. Perfect to use to cover the ottoman and another for a pillow.
That's next weeks project! 

BEFORE

Der finding the studs in the wall...

The visual of this thing falling because of 3 kitties jumping around and a toddler hanging out below isn't pretty so we needed to reinforce the piece. Der screwed hooks to the wall and eyes to the frame.

AFTER
What's one more window... I love it!

Have a good one!

C & J's Wedding in the Woods...

My best bud from college, Carly, got married to one of the coolest guys out there. They flew to Honduras, got hitched and came back and threw a wedding reception on Catoctin Mountain. Cabins, food and drinks were taken care of for everyone for the entire weekend... so cool! The weather was perfect and the people... amazing.


And yes, I was in charge of Decor! I was excited and determined to take on this boy scout cafeteria and make it into a beautiful wedding reception!

I sent this dress to Car to wear during her ceremony in Honduras. It fit her like a glove and she looked stunning. I had to make sure it was hung for everyone to see and it was perfect hanging from branches found at the camp!

Car made these awesome favors. I took 2!
I loved the way they looked on the gift table over the crocheted table cover. 

I had this piece of art made for them by my great artist friend,
Eddie Plachecki aka Red All Over!
Made from an old window frame, the photo from Honduras looks perfect with Eddie's trademark halo which emulates a beautiful sunset.

Decor projects below! 

My tools... I take them everywhere.  

Thanks, Melis Livengood for being so tall and all of your help!
Everyone was all about helping out for the event. Friends, roommates, parents and even Melissa's husband fluffed paper pom poms for me! haha. 

Lanterns were hung throughout the woods to help guests find there way back to there cabins...

And to direct guest to the fire pit...
 Looked so amazing at night!

Carly and I planned on spray painting 25+ pumpkins white, hollowing them out and drilling holes to created beautiful lanterns. The spray paint was MIA so these guys started a pumpkin carving station... It was a huge hit!

I made a sign and they took over from there!
The guys hollowed out the centers of the pumpkins so people could get a head start on their lanterns. 

Hilarious & Creepy. Love it.

Pumpkins and decorative paper bags lined the entry for guests.

The carving station created decor that landed everywhere throughout the night... it was awesome.

Lights down... party started! 

Carly & Jake dancing...

LOVE.

And after all of the dancing subsided we headed down to the fire pit. The sounds of guitar and bongos took over and even a little vocals from the bride! 

   We had such an amazing time! 
We love you guys!

Side Note

Morn'in Ma'!

While most of the guest stayed in cabin we ended up staying in the extra dining hall next to the wedding reception area. It was pretty awesome because we could hang out with everyone while keeping our eye on Doak while he napped... otherwise we would have had to stay in a cabin in the woods to watch him. The blasting heaters and indoor bathroom helped too!

We woke up earlier on the day of the wedding and went for a walk... kept him in his footy pajama's.  : )
I wish I was wearing them too.

So beautiful out there.
