Nautical Bathroom Redecorating: Sailboat Painting

I finally got around to painting the bigger canvas.

I'm pretty sure it's a 16"x20". It's not spectacular or anything. I'm really out of practice when it comes to painting. I've been focusing on my costume for my upcoming belly dance recital. I'll post that when I'm all done. ;)

Anyway, I just used a basic sailboat shape for the painting, on a blue ocean with a beautiful blue sky.

If it wasn't for the mast, the only colors I utilized were blue, red, and white. The mast added a bit of yellow to the painting, breaking up all the blue which brings your eye to the boat.

Since my other painting is all blue, as well, I think I'll add some orange to the wall so it's not so monotone. Orange matches the decor on my toilet, if you haven't seen my last post regarding my bathroom.

I'm very pleased with how the reflection in the water came out. Like I said, I'm out of practice, so I'm sticking to the basics.

Now go be inspired!

Easy Spice Jar

My husband and I love a certain pizza chain. We get a ton of their spice packets, and I'm not one to waste anything.

I kept some of the jars we get from our jellies/jams, and I kept the top of a Parmesan cheese bottle.

I don't know how many packets we had, but we had a lot. Enough to almost fill half of the jar.

Nothing too fancy or difficult. Just a simple way to utilize things that you may already have on hand. :)
