http://designwithaltitude.blogspot.com/2011/08/button-monogram.html

My goal is to start sharing with you my crafts that I do (on occasion) that you can do at home as well! My first is the adorable button monogram. I chose to do it on a backing of scrap fabric, but you can use a pretty piece of scrapbook paper, construction paper or you can even do it on a piece of wood covered with fabric.the list goes on and on. I started off with an inspiration from this. Things you need/I used:. Hot glue gun/hot glue. Heat up those glue guns! I started by taking the larger buttons and...

Design with Altitude: Coffee Table turned TV Stand

http://designwithaltitude.blogspot.com/2015/02/i-havent-painted-much-furniture-but-im.html

Coffee Table turned TV Stand. I haven't painted many pieces of furniture, but I'm always so pleased with the results. We bought a new TV and therefore, needed a new TV stand. I couldn't bring myself to buy something new, so I went in search of something that would work from Craigslist. Found it. Gorgeous and in perfect condition, this coffee table was to be the new TV stand. Fresh off of Craigslist. I finished it off with a new gallery wall. I scored gray/silver baskets at TJ Maxx. Love it.

Design with Altitude: Chevron Table Runner

http://designwithaltitude.blogspot.com/2013/03/chevron-table-runner.html

I have to admit that I used to hate table runners. They always were so old-looking, with tassels on the ends and country type fabric. I was not a fan. However, last fall I created. A great table runner from Sarah Jane's Out to Sea fabric and fell in love with the possibility that table runners could actually add to my obsession with home decor. Chevron is one of my latest obsessions and has been for quite some time now and no wonder.it's everywhere! Sew pieces together matching solid to solid and pattern...

Design with Altitude: Not Yo Mama's Shelf Paper

http://designwithaltitude.blogspot.com/2012/02/not-yo-mamas-shelf-paper.html

Not Yo Mama's Shelf Paper. What a lovely afternoon strolling with my mom through store after store when we ended up at Marshall's. My day became even lovelier when I saw some gorgeous shelf paper that was a stunning shade of aqua blue and had a very uncanny resemblance to some Dena Design's fabric. That I use in my Etsy shop. Naturally, this made me very happy. In case you don't know; I have a fabric addiction. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Colorado, United States. View my complete profile. I haven...

Design with Altitude: Climbing Trees and Firefly Dreams

http://designwithaltitude.blogspot.com/2013/11/climbing-trees-and-firefly-dreams.html

Climbing Trees and Firefly Dreams. As grand as these mountains are outside my kitchen window with their snow capped tops, they small in comparison to the vast openness of the prairies of Illinois. I grew up in the midwest and to me, that is beauty. The gently blowing breeze over-top the grain filled fields holds a gentle picture in my mind that I suspect, always will. I came upon Sarah Jane's. New fabric line today and not only is it gorgeous, but it reminds me of home. Wee Wander. Fly home, firefly.

http://designwithaltitude.blogspot.com/2012/01/diy-fabric-headboard.html

DIY - Fabric Headboard. This last fall I was looking for some design inspiration and found it with (surprise) fabric! I scored a great price on some Waverly fabric at my local JoAnn store. The fabric itself was 50% off and I had a coupon for another 20% off your purchase, so it was a steal! I had been looking to do a headboard for quite some time and of course, wanted to do it myself, so here I went. All you need is:. Staple Gun with staples. One sheet of Plywood/OSB. You cover it in fabric. 2 Take the b...
