Cute Clutch!

Lately my pinterest home page has been exploding with over sized clutches, so I decided to track down a few! Most of us probably have a large everyday bag that always seems to be full, so how can we expect a small clutch to accommodate our everyday needs? The answer is the adorable and functional over sized clutch. Here are some that get my approval!

After I rounded up a few fabulous clutches, I wanted to put together a cute summer outfit accessorizing with an over sized clutch. Here is what I came up.

For this outfit we have a large white ASOS clutch, a sleeveless dark grey button up top, light pink skinny jeans, sparkly sandals from Topshop and accents of yellow jewelry. Now it's your turn to find the right clutch just for you! Be inspired and create!

DIY: Table Tray

I'm so excited to share today's DIY! I've been looking for a table tray for a few months and hadn't had any luck, so I decided to take things into my own hands. It's a rather simple process and you are bound to love the end product. Lets see what you will need.

Supplies:

• Wood table tray from Hobby Lobby
• Your color choice of spray paint
• One can of clear wood finish (optional)
• Box knife
• Your choice of patterned or solid paper: 2 pieces
• 1 piece of plexiglass. Lowe's will cut if for you at a rate.
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Cutting mat
• A level, or hard straight edge.

Getting Started

To start off your tray should already be smooth and sanded. Pick a nice little spot outside and paint your tray. Use as many coats as needed.

Once dry, top it off with your clear gloss. You may need a couple of coats. Keep your tray close by for the next few steps. 

Next, if you are cutting the plexiglass yourself, place it on a flat surface.

 

Measure the inside of the tray, both horizontally and vertically.Be sure not to make it too snug, you will want to be able to remove the plexiglass in case you want to change out your paper.

Mark your measurements on the plexiglass. Use your level and box knife to score the plexiglass on both sides.

Once scored, use a solid edge to snap off the

un-needed edges.

Use the same measurements to cut your paper.

Place your paper in the tray.

Now add your plexiglass.

You now have a great, one of a kind table tray!

Your last step is to add your accessories!

If you get tired of the paper you chose, it's easy to swap it out in a few months! Hope you like it! Be inspired and create!

Exterior Decorating

My house is about to under take a large exterior makeover! We bought an old fixer upper and have been working diligently on the interior for the past 2 years, now it's time to attack the outside. I love adding color to the exterior of a house. Easy ways to do this are with your door, shutters, porch furniture and of course landscaping. Here are a few great shots of inspiration!

Front Doors

These pops of color are a great eye catcher.

Shutters

These bold colors look great on European inspired homes. Not so sure if the pink is right for my house, but it looks amazing. I'm loving the contrast between the turquoise shutters and red flowers and the yellow shutters and pink flowers, great idea.

Patio Furniture

Aside from the extreme exterior makeover I am also spray painting our back porch patio furniture. I've got a good idea of what I want, something colorful and cheerful for sure, but here are some cute pieces!

Hopefully the makeover will start this weekend! Can't wait to share the transformation. Be inspired and create!
