Ombre-ish
We all get bored of what's in our closet and most of the time it's difficult to let go of our clothes. Being that I love DIY projects, I have a hard time giving away my clothes because I know that I could change it into something new. Then I have to actually DO the project and they're usually way more time consuming than we ever think they will be. That's why I loved this particular clothing re-design.
ALL YOU NEED IS:
A spray bottle
Some bleach
A hanger
A shirt (or any piece of clothing)
This project was fun and so easy! I poured some bleach into the spray bottle along with a little water (maybe 1/4 bleach to 3/4 water), then I hung the shirt in the shower and started spraying. The water might be unnecessary but I was just being overly cautious.
Since I had never done this before I wanted to start slow by spraying a little bit at a time even though I don't think this project can really be messed up. So, after the first round I went about my day knitting up some orders and getting them ready to ship out. In between orders I would go and check out the bleaching progress. Every time I went in it was like seeing a different shirt!
TIP:
Change the spray setting from stream to spray for different effects
This is what I ended up with and I LOVE it!!
This is the BACK and I like it better than the front.
When i was all done I rinsed it out in the sink and hung it out to dry and then ran it through the wash. I washed it by itself, again, being overly cautious, I didn't want to get any residual bleach on other pieces of clothing.
SIDE AFFECTS:
A clean shower wall

Take It Outside
Since apartment living is our only option at the moment, I often find
myself staring at these pictures, imagining what kind of outdoor space I
would create if we had a little bit of land. Whenever I see ads for
outdoor seating and patio furniture I can't help but think how
uncomfortable it always looks. When I'm relaxing or enjoying a meal
outside I don't want to sit on a metal chair, even if it does have a
cushion on it. I want to be cozy so I don't have to be bothered by how
uncomfortable I am. So here are some inspiration pictures I've found.
Maybe soon I will be posting pics of my own back yard!
It looks like there is a bit of a travel theme going here too, probably my inner gypsy rearing her head :)
This takes my breath away, and I think I'll settle for just looking at the pic because unless I absolutely had too, this would never happen.
