One’s the before and one’s the after.. Now, truth be told, I just like to use the toothbrush cause it’s kinda fun.

I. Let’s do this thing!.Do you have a favorite color scheme for Christmas decorating?

I really don’t and it makes things pretty crazy around here sometimes.I love the reds, the blues, the greens, the golds, the silvers, the sparklies, the rustic country stuff, everything.Just not all at once, which is usually what ends up happening.

So I thought maybe I’d try to make each room a different color or mood or theme or whatever.And this mudroom is my RED room!.

I was inspired by this awesome sign that Kristen from.

sent me.. You can get it in any color she carries, but I got mine in this classic red.Instead of marking off my measurements, I like to iron a crease and just cut along the crease.

I find it keeps everything neat and tidy and saves me from trying (and failing) to draw a straight line.. For one cord cover, I had 2 strips of fabric that measured a total of 1.5 times the length of my cord when placed end to end.This gave me the ruffly effect.

Each strip was 5 inches wide to make the cord cover 2 inches wide and allow a 1/2 inch for the seams.So if my cord was 60 inches long, that means that each strip was 45 inches by 5 inches.. Once I had my strips all cut out.
