Antique Distressed Floral Wood DIY

This is actially a print! You can order many items with this printed on them here, even iphone cases! http://society6.com/maximilian/Rococo-Style-3_Print but it gives me an idea...I think you could glue or modge-podge a floral paper to wood, let it dry COMPLETELY, then take some sandpaper to it. Finish with a poly stain? to protect and give it an even older look or a tea-stained appearance. Would LOVE to see this on a dresser, but anything really. I'm not even a floral person, but this look, I LOVE!!

Decorate With Murals and Wall Tattoos



Decorate With Murals and Wall Tattoos


Now you can decorate bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, any room - with the theme of your choice - for a fraction of the expense.

Theme Rooms Without the Expense

By the time you pay for all the items to give one room a theme look you've spent plenty of cash. Coordinating lamps, wall hangings, linens, curtains, even small things like coasters or drawer knobs, can cost a fortune. There's a different way to have a coordinated theme look for any room and spend only a fraction of the money.

Wall murals have been around for ages but nowadays, new designs in paper and images make them completely different than the old fashioned type of murals. The new murals are more vivid and much easier to hang. And, some are even printed so there are breaks in the design that show your own painted walls between the images. New repositionable wall decals make decorating even easier!

Wall murals and decals make decorating easy. You just choose a theme, like jungle, seas, gardens, clouds, or children's themes and you're able to do an entire wall in no time. After doing the wall you only need to add a few more things, like color coordinated bedding, to complete the look of the room. Something similar to the wall murals are the new wall tattoos. They come in themes as well and make it easy to do large or small areas in the theme design. The great thing about them is that they go on easily and can be placed anywhere. Purchase a wall tattoo theme, such as a large oak tree, and it will come with several smaller designs, like butterflies, picket fences, birds or other designs. You can also find decorative patterned designs like the patterned dots in the picture above!

The wall tattoos are designed to go on like rub-on appliques. Tape the entire design to the wall, use a popsicle stick to rub it onto the wall, then peel away the paper. Although the tattoos aren't stencils, so they can't be reused, they are designed to last a long time with simple care. Just wipe the design off with a damp cloth, every so often, and that's all the care they need.

Create A Colorblend

ColorBlender is a web-based tool for creating color palettes (here referred to as "blends") for web design and other types of digital design.

The main feature of the tool is to have a complete "blend" of 6 matching colors created when choosing only one "base" color. This makes it very quick and easy to create a color scheme for e.g. a website, as you can instantly use the colors for text, backgrounds, links, border etc.

This is one of the easiest ways to come up with a color scheme for online use and it's even easy to upload the colors into photoshop and the like. When you are satisfied with your "blend" you can save it so you can access it later.

Clicking the "Photoshop Color Table (.ACT)" button will let you download the blend as a small file that can be imported into Adobe Photoshop (see the FAQ for more info).

"Send blend by email" will give you a single URL to open your current blend directly. This let you "bookmark" the blend in your web browser or even send the blend via email. In this way, the recipient can view your blend, and eventually fine tune it, export it, etc.

In Adobe Photoshop, open the Swatches palette. In the upper right corner menu of the palette, choose either "Replace Swatches..." or "Load Swatches...". From the file dialog, be sure to select the "Color Table (*.ACT)" file type, then locate the *.ACT file you just saved. Click "Load". The colors of the blend will now be loaded into the Swatches palette, ready for use in Photoshop!

Try it, it's completely free, though you can certainly make a donation.
