DIY Pretty with Pink Inspirational Wall Art

I LOVE  inspirational quotes, don't you? I thought this one was perfect for my StyleLife office. What are your favorite quotes? This is an easy and rewarding DIY project that can be done with any quote. Let your mind wander... Take it to the next level and create your own inspirational quotes.

Simply paint any size canvas with paint (acrylic works well), let dry, then add your quote of choice using another color of paint/paint pen. Once dry, add embellishments if desired (like ribbon, flowers, beading, framing, crystals, etc.). Stamping/embossing might work as well.

I used a flat, frameless canvas board, rolled on pink acrylic paint for the background and used a black Sharpie Paint Pen for the writing. My finishing touch was a strategically placed piece of pink ribbon tied into a bow. Simple yet inspiring! :)

Hope you were inspired. :) Have fun creating! I'd love to see photos of your projects also.

DIY Bulletin Board Dress Up

I love pink. Is it obvious yet? If not, it will be VERY soon.

I'd say it's my happy color so I fully intend on showcasing lots of pink in my new office. My amazing husband and I have been working hard on giving the office a very custom feel so that means lots of DIY projects on our part. I am having so much fun setting up the office and creating custom re-purposed pieces, and I have been trying to take photos along the way to share with you.

Because I am a StyleLife Consultant, I wanted StyleLife to be the "theme" of the office. We are incorporating lots of fabric and textures. It's no surprise that this pink tweed spoke to me. I wish I had purchased more of the material because I can see using it for other projects also. I actually purchased the material a few years back so I may be looking for awhile...

Here is our DIY project for dressing up a plain bulletin board:

1. Start with plain bulletin board. (Ours was pretty old, and we love to re-purpose!)

2. Cover with fabulous fabric of choice. Place as centered as possible.

3. Use thumb tacks to pin into place along bulletin board frame.

4. Tuck extra fabric around back (like you're wrapping a gift) and tack/staple in place. 

5. Adorn as desired.

Hello & Welcome Beauties

Each one of us is perfectly unique and uniquely perfect. 
Our differences are beautiful. We are beautiful.

Thank you for stopping by my new blog and taking an interest in my very personal endeavor. I truly hope you enjoy what I share. And for the record, I absolutely love (constructive) feedback. I will try to respond as often as possible. So please, bring on the questions, comments and requests.  I look forward to "meeting" and "talking with" you.

I have many blogs that I have been maintaining for years, but this one seems more personal. Here at My StyleLife Philosophy, I will share photos, videos, personal stories, reflections, q&a, features, reviews and diy projects. I will also try to answer as many requests as I can as often as I can for tutorials, reviews and diy projects. Here at My StyleLife Philosophy, I aim to uplift, inspire and make you smile while sharing with you my opinions and experiences and asking about yours.

My Background- in case you're wondering :)
Obviously, I love to talk and write. I also love to help people and make a positive impact. I'm always searching for ways to do just that. My StyleLife Philosophy is one of my attempts at putting positive vibes out into the world.

For the longest time, I have loved style, fashion and beauty. That said, style to me is more than just a great outfit. Style is about a great attitude, confidence and the know-how to work what you have. That's right, work it, girl! :) Beauty is more than just perfect eye liner. Beauty GROWS from within and GLOWS outward. I will post many articles on my outlook of beauty and style, but for introduction sake, I will leave it at that for now.  :)

In addition to blogging, I have been a StyleLife Consultant for years. Did you notice I said "StyleLife consultant," instead of "style consultant" or "stylist," yes? I'd like to think that this terminology has a very important distinction.

"StyleLife" is more than just a play on words. Yes, it is a lifestyle, and it is my philosophy. StyleLife does mean style for life and living stylishly. However, it's more than just the above. My StyleLife Philosophy is about being a good person, being positive in outlook and being stylish and chic in every aspect of life. My StyleLife Philosophy also includes an exploration of human nature, more specifically woman nature in all areas of our lives. (For those of you who may have guessed already- yes, I majored in philosophy.)

Style seems to affect every aspect of our life in this society.  I accept that style is in everything we do. From communicating, to cooking, to parenting, to gardening, to throwing parties and events, to decorating our homes, to what we wear and how we wear it. Style is a way of life.

From these reflections, My StyleLife Philosophy emerged. I hope you'll enjoy the journey as much as I have already. Have a fabulous day every day!
