Pinterest Projects and Puppies with Liz

My friend Liz flew down south all the way from Nebraska to visit me this week. So far we have been hanging out, shopping, going to Home Goods and Hobby Lobby, and of course we can't forget getting a puppy.

Meet Huxtable, the cutest puppy on the planet! He hasn't mastered potty training yet but he sure is adorable! (Guess that makes up for the messes, huh?)

Puppies aside, Liz and I decided to try out a pinterest project that I found - covering lightswitch covers with scrapbook paper and modpodge. Jamey and I really liked the idea of having old maps on the switchplates since it will give the place just a little bit more vintage flair and old-world charm. And it's different. We like making little things unique to us. Here's Liz measuring and tracing out the scrapbook paper.

Then we glued the paper to the switchplates and cut out the holes. We coated the whole thing with a layer of modpodge to seal it and give it some more durability.

And then we wielded a mighty screwdriver and installed them with our handy-woman skills. I think they turned out awesome. It's an easy way to make something so utilitarian look like a piece of artwork. 

We'll probably do something similar in the kitchen once we finish painting.
