DIY Doormat

Happy Wednesday friends!

Today I'm going to show you how to make a super cute doormat for your front door! I've been seeing these cute diy doormats all over pinterest, so I thought I would try and make my own.

Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to make your own!

You will need a doormat of your choice, paint, tape, paint brushes, and letter stencils.

Love this paint! It's very durable and a great price!

(under a $1 at Hobby Lobby)

1. Pick out what you want your diy doormat to say

2. Lay out your letters on the doormat and tape them down

3. Start painting!

4. Remove letters and let dry (overnight)

It was fun little weekend project and I plan on doing another one for our back door. Next time I would do a few things differently. I think smaller letters would have been better for this mat, they were a little big (I had to freehand the last row). I also think I would go with a brighter color, I do plan on going back with white and making an outline on this mat.

I really hope you enjoyed this diy and try it for yourself! I would love to see pictures if you make one, just tag me or use the hashtag #myltlblog!

My Weekend In Review { July 3nd - July 5th }

Happy Monday friends!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday weekend!

We had a great weekend filled with good food, visiting with friends, and relaxing.

Below are some photos of our weekend!

Always enjoy getting some Starbucks and taking some blog photos with the very sweet Alli from { CWSD }

Thank you Scotty for taking all my blog photos. Love him!

Saturday we had friends over for brunch, it was so nice getting to visit!

Bruce spent his 4th of July hanging out with his cousin Alfred.

Of course I had to get a funnel cake!

and we ended our weekend building a fort in our living! We watched I Love You Man (one of our favorites movies) and had cocktails and popcorn.

Leave me a comment below! What did you do for the weekend?

Wedding Bells: Gifts for the Couple

Untitled #16 by myltlblog featuring a lightweight blanket  

1. I think every newlywed couple should have a Kitchenaid Mixer , they last forever and always makes a great gift!
2. Towels seem to always be a go to when shopping for a newlywed couple, but can get a little boring when most gift givers play it safe with going with a plain white towel. A great way to switch it up is with these Mr. & Mrs. Towels.
3. Another great kitchen item a Custom Monogram Cutting Board.
4. Pillows are very poplar right and make a great gift, this Mr. & Mrs. Pillow.
5. Picture frames are always a perfect gift for the couple to put a picture in from the big day Kate Spade Picture Frame.
6. A cozy blanket is a such a sweet gift, plus it can monogrammed or you can put whatever you want on it Pottery Barn Monogrammed Throw.
7. Glassware Kate Spade Mr. & Mrs.Glasses.

{ We're Moving! }

I'm finally back to blogging (YAY) I have been MIA the last couple of weeks and here's the reason why!

The last couple of weeks we have been crazy busy working and getting ready to move out of my dad's house. We are moving into my grandmother's house. Due to her getting older and being unable to live on her own, we decided she would be moving into my dad's home with him. We are so excited and thankful to have been given this amazing gift from my father and grandmother! Scotty and I are so blessed and lucky to have such a great family! I can't wait to share all of the projects we've been working on, and all of our ideas for future projects!!!

Thank you again to my father and grandmother!

We love you!
