trempe l’oeil version in the Summer.

It’s pretty much perfect.The thing is, after I discovered this trick late last week, I promised that I would share it on the blog early this week, thinking that by now I would have tons of new smudges and finger prints to show off.

It turns out that this little trick also helps prevent finger prints from showing up in the first place.The learning continues!Of course, I completely neglected to take pictures the first time around when the fridge actually was in terrible shape, because I had no idea that I was going to find something that would actually work!.

So when the glass cleaner, regular purpose cleaner, plain water, and all the other usual suspects did nothing to clean off my crusty finger prints, I got a little desperate and just started trying stuff.One of the things I tried was this:.

It’s a wood and furniture polish that I applied with just a plain soft wash cloth that I use for cleaning!

That’s what you need to be reaching for next time your appliances need a bit of a shine!Anyway, I may still fancy the door up one day if inspiration strikes but for now, I just decided to stick a wreath on it to fill some of that blank space and call it done.

So that’s the story of where the need for this bow came from..I thought it would be neat if I could try to figure out a way to make a nice bow out of some of the really cute fabrics that I have in my stash and I’m pretty excited with what I came up with!.

Here’s how you can make one too!.Start with a long strip of fabric.
