I have TONS of sheet music. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWell that is interesting and different Lorrie. Your guests can spend their time peering through and figuring out the music.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how we can think about doing something FOREVER and when we finally put ourselves into action it only took a few minutes to do? I'm glad you went ahead with your creative idea. I always wonder what my hubby will think and if I tell him my ideas in advance, he rarely gets it and then I get discouraged to try. So, it is better to do it and then show so they can see how clever we really are and we at least get a chance to try things! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat job and very clever idea!
blessings,

PS. Yes, we are very busy these days! Still in the process of selling our old house and networking to meet new people and start the new church up here in Washington. Lots to do, but it is fun!
Wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteI have been contemplating this for AGES - maybe now I finally will!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking along these same lines using some of the pretty papers that are out there..and I have a extra hymnbook...oh would't that be grand...and maybe even decoupage...you got me thinking...or for a office or boys room...a map....the possibilities are endless....thanks for the inspiration.

I love the sheet music added to the back of your cabinet! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love this look. It really looks great in your china cabinet. What a
ReplyDeletegreat idea. I know what you mean about wanting to do things and putting them off.. I do that way too much..
Now aren't you feeling proud? I love to decorate with sheet music. One year I made a Christmas pillow by copying O' Holy Night onto iron on transfer paper. There are so many options. Sheet music is also beautiful matted and framed. You can age it with damp tea bags too! Mine and my husband's song will be framed for our anniversary this year. Thanks for jumping in and doing it!

Isn't it funny how we harbor ideas & just don't act! What a clever idea. I saw you mentioned over at Joy's Blog & had to stop & say hello. Enjoy your Marie Jewelry while in Paris. I told the others that my French neighbor sent me a wonderful email with a lot of photos of the palace. If you are interested let me know & I will email it to you.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! I'm thinking of covering the backs of two bookshelves with scrapbook paper... like you I've been considering it for months! Perhaps I'll do it tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I love it!

I love what you did, and altered my china hutch several years ago. I put vintage silk as the back drop, torn, strings hanging, draped haphazardly. Used hot glue to stick it to the background - which in my case was a mirror.

What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI found you through Joy at Cupid's Charm and I look forward to visiting your blog again:)
What a *great* idea! I tend to ponder ideas for too long, too. There's probably a reason a very successful ad campaign's tag line is "Just Do It."
ReplyDeleteLooks great - Congratulations!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog at Joy's blog and followed you all the way here.
Love your projects and photos!

Why do we doubt ourselves? We could save so much time if we just listened to that inner voice! I think it looks fantastic! I would love to do my shelves that way but it would take too much time....LOL, just kidding!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

Love it...looks great. I tend to be a thinker more than a doer. I did see somewhere ...to measure and cut chipboard or such and cover to use to put places like there, then you can easily change it. I've been thinking...ha....about doing that to some built-ins I have. You've inspired me.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! the finished result is fab!
ReplyDeleteFrom one Lorrie to another. It's amazing we have the same type of interest. I love plates and china as well. I don't like to post what I have because I don't want my husband to really know what's around the house...LOL. I'm following your blog because I loved your post and your name.
