Moss & Vases : Chair & Foyer

It's been a whirlwind around our house lately. I've had so many projects going, and no time to post about them. I just started 3 classes (while working full time), so it's a wonder I have any time for extra craftastic things. I've been working hard at getting my homework done early on in the week, so I have the weekend to play, lets hope I can keep the momentum going. ;)

MOSS & VASES

{ DIY }

I've been wanting to add a little something more to our fire mantel. Something of color, but not pictures, because I have enough of them in that part of the house. While I was searching Michael's it all started to come together. 

[ Items for the project ]

 Two small clear vases 

($1.49? each, Michaels)

:

Black spray paint
(I used semi-gloss)

:

Two round foam balls 

(not sure the actual name, Michaels)

:

1 package of Moss 

(I found the most beautiful viberant green moss at Michaels) 

:

Hot glue gun

I spray painted the vases black (forgot to get a before shot of them),

then hot glued the moss to the foam balls

& voila!

{True brightness of the moss - no photo editing - Isn't it pretty!} 

CHAIR & FOYER

{DIY}

I purchased this chair from a garage sale for $5.

It's very sturdy chair, but needed some TLC.  

Their is not much of a wall to put a table or anything in our foyer, 

so this chair was the perfect answer to what I had been wanting to put in the foyer for awhile. 

 I added some little touches with two frames I spray painted, and one of them I chalked. 

The branches and vase is what I had their previous to the chair and other items added.
