Keep Calm in the Kitchen

Posted in Create, Home & Living, Home Accessories, kitchen on December 8th, 2011 by Monette

I thought I would share the latest edition to my kitchen.

A thin metal wall plaque – approx 80cm H x 25cm W and presumably to stand upright but I thought I’d go a different angle and place it horizontally on the ledge over the range hood.  As you can see the range hood serves as a shelf for knick knacks too &  is topped with some Christmas cheer at this time of year.

A SAVVY way to SPLOSH

Posted in Create, Gift, Home & Living, Home Accessories on September 14th, 2011 by HS

Make a Statement

Spruce it up!

Use these sleek white letters with some creative wrapping paper or even a simple bow/ribbon to give them your own personal touch.

Paste, paste, paste!

Use some material flowers or a collection of odd buttons and glue them in different positions to create a quirky and fun look.

If you want something more elaborate use a pencil to carefully sketch vines and leaves that extend from the flowers. Once you are happy with the design, use a thin permanent marker to go over the pattern.

Love your letter!

Use the Splosh letters to spell out the name of someone special to you. Then in your own handwriting, write on the letters everything you love about the person.

Over the top!

(Give yourself no limits)

colour it      tie it

stamp it      sticker it

mix it          spray it

match it     dye it

wrap it

Stand them up!

Each of the individual Splosh letters has a flat base allowing them to stand. Pop them on a bookshelf, bench top, or table to add your own creative touch to any room in the house – without the hassle of hooks, screws and nails.

Hang them up!

If standing them just won’t do, the letters have also been designed to be hung on any wall in your house.
