The towels and show curtain are from CB2. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/img_1743.jpgIMG_1743I painted the walls in a soft gray, wallpapered with a custom mural, added an Ikea makeup mirror to the wall, and changed the towels. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/img_1742.jpgIMG_1742I had seen people use "real" rugs in bathrooms all over Pinterest, so I got a cheap one from Overstock and I love that it's not a standard bath mat! 2017-06-23T15:52:51+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2017/04/17/aunt-annas-easter-bread/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_8233.jpgIMG_8233Aunt Anna's Easter Bread2017-04-18T22:43:49+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2017/03/23/our-new-entryway/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/img_7719.jpgIMG_7719I made a simple cushion for the top of the bench using a vintage textile from the flea market. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/img_7717.jpgIMG_7717AFTER: Two "Nornas" Ikea storage pieces fit SO many toys and all of our grocery bags. Two coat trees are perfect for when we have big parties or for our diaper bags for everyday use. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/img_7715.jpgIMG_7715I moved my string art from our art gallery wall because it was a better fit above the credenza.

When in doubt, hire your handsome friends and partner to back you up. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/img_8477.jpgIMG_8477While everyone filled up on dinner, we set up dessert back outside to keep the flow moving. There was a seasonal cobbler and Magnolia Bakery banana pudding. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/img_8474.jpgIMG_8474Another shot of dessert...because it was just SO delicious! https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/img_8469.jpgIMG_8469After the ceremony, we had a pot pie bar set up inside. The guests picked a filling and then topped it with crispy puff pastry squares. We used bamboo plates and forks throughout the whole party since there wasn't a sit down dinner. The bamboo elevates disposable plates and forks to something a little more elegant. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/img_8460.jpgIMG_8460I tied each table skirt loosely with rosemary garlands instead of ribbon to keep them tidy and neat. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/img_8455.jpgIMG_8455With appetizers and drinks in hand, guests went up to the ceremony location to eat and talk at tall cocktail tables. The awning was draped with a garland that I wired together from tree branches (free!), rosemary and protea. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/img_8453.jpgIMG_8453Close up of the ceremony arch.

I then piled up the icing on top, letting some drip over the edge like icicles. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5194.jpgIMG_5194I glued the top of the crown moulding on top of the brackets that were already completely dried and structural. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5193.jpgIMG_5193I applied the back wall, also with the door glued on the back side and finished off with the roof. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5192.jpgIMG_5192I then glued on the second wall and held until set. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5191.jpgIMG_5191First I put up a side wall and held it in place until the icing set a bit. Then I piped icing on the edge of the side wall and onto the base so I could stick on the front of the building. I then glued the door to the back side of the front wall so it looked inset in the wall. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5190.jpgIMG_5190I used a cheese platter as my base, and a 2 pieces of card board glued with icing so I had something to mount the walls to. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5187.jpgIMG_5187I printed an old sign onto card stock and cut away the lettering with an Exacto blade. I then used a brush loaded with powdered sugar to stencil the remnants of a sign on the side of the building. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5185.jpgIMG_5185I glued on the mouldings and did some of the detail work with the royal icing before assembling the building. Most recipes don't suggest this, but I work better with everthing on flat surface. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5237.jpgIMG_5237So many buildings in New York are only pretty from the very front, so I thought it would be funny to make the gingerbread version the same way! https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/img_5236.jpgIMG_5236I finished everything off by schmering icing on the ground and adding gumdrop trees, light poles and a fire hydrant. The sign was the last piece I added to the structure because I wanted to make sure it was completely dry before it was vertical. 2023-02-02T22:17:25+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/12/02/fierce-and-nerdy-santas-coming/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/il_fullxfull-195530015.jpgil_fullxfull.1955300152011-12-02T20:34:09+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/11/16/booze-makeover/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/vodka.jpgVodkahttps://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/stencils.jpgUntitledhttps://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/stencilon.jpgUntitledhttps://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/source.jpgSourcehttps://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/armor-etch.jpgArmor Etch2025-04-07T08:35:34+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/11/12/delias-famous-cinnamon-nut-bread/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/img_4199.jpgIMG_4199Delia's "Famous" Cinnamon Nut Bread is best with pumpkin butter and a cup of espresso! 2011-11-12T16:29:58+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/11/08/adventures-in-pickling/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/img_3179.jpgIMG_3179https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/img_3174.jpgIMG_3174https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/img_3171.jpgIMG_3171https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/img_3165.jpgIMG_31652011-11-12T16:35:39+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/10/24/beef-jerky-a-gruesomely-delicious-project/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/img_3853.jpgIMG_3853Yummy!

We included what to expect at our picnic, things to do in the area, and all travel information. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img_2066.jpgIMG_2066If you can't afford a calligrapher, spruce up a printed sticky label with elegant fonts and a simple stamp. We bought several nature inspired stamps that looked lovely together to add up to our postage. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img_2065.jpgIMG_2065We created a simple linen booklet to tuck everything into. We couldn't afford enough real wood paper to back our invites in, so we used a small amount for our "info" label. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img_2063.jpgIMG_2063Instead of printing a map straight from the internet, trace the important roads and draw funny little mile markers or color by hand. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img_2060.jpgIMG_2060If you have a lot of travelers coming to your wedding, be generous with any information they might need to get there. We found a card at Papersource that we recreated with stencils and paint for our info booklet cover. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img_2059.jpgIMG_2059Make personalized tapes will a simple sewing machine stitch and the Xyron Sticker maker.

It adds color, texture and happiness. We also printed the return labels with each person's address as a personal touch. This way, they won't have to do anything except fill out their card and pop it in the mail. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img_2056.jpgIMG_2056Back home printed invitations with something heavy, like this chipboard to give some importance and weight. I printed the back with a white woodgrain linocut for a modern edge. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img_2050.jpgIMG_2050Our invitation combines vintage patterns and prints to evoke a casual elegance, perfect for our picnic wedding! https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/img_2046.jpgIMG_20462013-01-24T10:21:43+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/03/30/save-your-money-buy-our-groceries-vol-21/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1656.jpgIMG_1656https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1653.jpgIMG_1653https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1650.jpgIMG_1650https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1645.jpgIMG_16452011-03-30T21:32:53+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/03/23/save-your-money-buy-our-groceries-vol-20/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1638.jpgIMG_1638https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1619.jpgIMG_1619https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1615.jpgIMG_1615https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1608.jpgIMG_16082011-03-23T19:24:43+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/make/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/day5.jpgday5Clockwise from top: Vintage brocrade, Ribbon and wool embroidered straw, Rhinestone and Silk Charmeuse bridal (still needs netting for veil) https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/day4.jpgday4From bottom to top: Vintage silk and beaded bow, vintage cotton velvet, and swirl of pearlshttps://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/day3.jpgday3Woven necklace and bullets spewing rhinestones. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/day2.jpgday2Finished some embroidered necklaces and two tiny woven ones.

Mark and cut 4 small slits as shown on the outer circle. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1542.jpgIMG_15424. Cut using scissors or an Exacto knife. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1539.jpgIMG_15393. Use your lines as guides to draw your cut lines as shown. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1537.jpgIMG_15371. Use your compass to mark the leather with several concentric circles 1/4" to 3/4" apart (totally up to you and the size of your plant hanger...play around!). 2. Draw four lines through the center, dividing the circle into eight equal wedges. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1534.jpgIMG_1534You will need: 1. medium and/or heavy weight leather- large enough to cut 4 long hanging strips and 1 circle. If you use thick, heavy leather for the circle, you will want a lighter weight leather for the straps because you have to be able to tie tight knots with it. 2. drafting compass with a pencil tip 3. very sharp scissors or an Exacto knife2011-03-09T17:01:08+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/03/08/save-your-money-buy-our-groceries-vol-18/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1497.jpgIMG_1497https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1492.jpgIMG_1492https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1490.jpgIMG_1490https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/img_1483.jpgIMG_14832011-03-09T01:59:45+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/03/01/save-your-money-buy-our-groceries-vol-17/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1350.jpgIMG_1350https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1349.jpgIMG_1349https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1339.jpgIMG_1339https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1336.jpgIMG_13362011-03-04T05:55:00+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/02/23/diy-wedding-sweet-pennant-bunting/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1244.jpgIMG_1244https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1243.jpgIMG_1243https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1238.jpgIMG_1238https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1234.jpgIMG_1234https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1231.jpgIMG_12312013-03-13T15:52:40+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/02/16/save-your-money-buy-our-groceries-vol-16/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1280.jpgIMG_1280https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1266.jpgIMG_1266https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1264.jpgIMG_1264https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1254.jpgIMG_12542011-02-18T13:34:38+00:00monthlyhttps://delia-hauser.com/2011/02/18/how-to-use-t-shirt-transfers-in-a-cool-way/https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1290.jpgIMG_1290https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1274.jpgIMG_1274Voila! The colors of your print get richer and more beautiful when the transfer is completely fused with the surface. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1273.jpgIMG_1273Cover the image with the paper that came with your transfers. Press with a hot dry iron, moving the it in circles over the whole image, for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the transfer has completely fused with the fabric. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1272.jpgIMG_1272Lay your image or images onto whatever you want to iron them to. If you have a lot of feathery cuts in your image, be sure to position them where you want them and make sure every bit is laying flat. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1271.jpgIMG_1271Slowly and carefully peel the transfer from the paper backing. Take your time; intricate cuts could tear if you are rushing through it. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1175.jpgIMG_1175Carefully and meticulously cut out your images using small scissors or an Xacto blade if needed. Make sure none of the white paper is left. https://delia-hauser.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/img_1169.jpgIMG_1169Select and print your images on dark t-shirt transfer paper. I used botanical images from a Dover book that came with a CD packed with royalty free JPEGS.
