Home Sweet Home #74

Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home!  Check out my cow picture!  What do you think?  It sorta looks like a photograph but then look closer...

It has more texture.  

Here is a real close up.  I love how it turned out.  I just took a photograph and edited it in Photoshop.  I then mailed it into Uprinting.com and I had a 18" x 20" poster printed.   I then used matte Mod Podge and decoupaged it to 18" x 20" canvas.  And there you have it, a cow portrait!   I used Uprinting because they actually can print something with perfect color and the right size.  I have used other printing services and had trouble with the product not looking like the original photo.  I had fun with it!  I think she is a cute cow!  

 Now, I would like to highlight some of the posts that caught my eye last week at Home Sweet Home.  I am adding a disclaimer that I may be pinning or tweeting your post by adding it to this party.  I like to share your great ideas when I see things that are exciting.

Anne at White Lace Cottage used a ladder n a really great way! 

Mary Ann at Classic Casual Home had a gorgeous bathroom remodel.

Erin at Just Grand showed off their adorable beach cottage with a newly remodeled outdoor shower.

Meeha Meeha  showed off how the living room was remodeled for a more beachy feel.

Debra at Common Ground showed off her beautifully decorated sun porch for the 4th.

Many great links each week!  Thank you to all who join me at Home Sweet Home!   It is wonderful to have you here.
