I have to remind myself that my main mission in life is to stay peaceful. No matter how busy I get or what life throws at me, to remain at peace, is my goal. I don’t always achieve it, but I always go back to it eventually. So this Busy Bee is also a Peaceful Bee.Tumblr (3.0; @peacefulbee)http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/<img

As I said, my plate was very dirty. I debated showing you the before, but um…. yeah, no. So here is the cleanish version! If you look closely you can see I wasn’t very careful with the paint brush. Make sure your switch is clean and dry before you start or your stickers won’t stick.</p> <p><strong><img align="left" alt="step two" src="<a%20href=%22http://imgur.com/j54Py%22><img%20src=%22http://i.imgur.com/j54Py.jpg%22%20title=%22Hosted%20by%20imgur.com%22%20alt=%22%22%20/></a>"/><br/></strong></p> <p><strong>Step Two</strong><br/>Cut out your stickers. This will make it easier to place them on your plate. If you aren’t comfortable with ‘free sticking’, trace your switch plate and do a layout of where you want your stickers to go first.</p> <p><strong><img align="left" alt="step three" src="<a%20href=%22http://imgur.com/QiiTo%22><img%20src=%22http://i.imgur.com/QiiTo.jpg%22%20title=%22Hosted%20by%20imgur.com%22%20alt=%22%22%20/></a>"/></strong></p> <p><strong><br/></strong></p> <p><strong>Step Three</strong><br/>Start sticking! If you chose to do the ‘free sticking’, try moving the shape around a bit before you decide on a place. I wanted mine to look like wallpaper, so I cut some of my stickers in half to place near the sides. Try not to stick your stickers over your switches as it will move around when you turn the light on and off. You can instead cut out the switch shape from the sticker so it flows around it.</p> <p><strong><img align="left" alt="step four" src="<a%20href=%22http://imgur.com/vMINa%22><img%20src=%22http://i.imgur.com/vMINa.jpg%22%20title=%22Hosted%20by%20imgur.com%22%20alt=%22%22%20/></a>"/></strong></p> <p><strong><br/></strong></p> <p><strong>Step Four</strong><br/>You’re done! Enjoy your new, gorgeous light switch!</p> </blockquote>http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/19579295695http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/19579295695Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:04:01 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m158brK1qJ1rnzkdjo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Architecture,Chand on We Heart It. <a href="http://weheartit.com/entry/24641080" target="_blank">http://weheartit.com/entry/24641080</a></p>http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/19578878756http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/19578878756Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:52:39 -0400<p>I just discovered a site called <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com" target="_blank">www.stumbleupon.com</a></a> and I am going to experiment with that tonight!  Try it out and let me know what you think.</p>http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16825748675http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16825748675Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:09:41 -0500stumbleuponwebsite<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly5o5yZVTw1qjxia2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>WOW - Old Hollywood Glamour! #interiordesign #Glamour #white</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vintageluxe.tumblr.com/post/16310057722/theaestate" target="_blank">vintageluxe</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theaestate.tumblr.com/post/16229110054/sexy-space-saturday-12" target="_blank">theaestate</a></p> </blockquote>http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16520554826http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16520554826Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:12:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly7zlvpMZt1qzbcjoo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Accented neutral with a fabulous over-scaled chandelier!!!</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thetaoofdana.com/post/16311910026/how-gorgeous" target="_blank">thetaoofdana</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>How gorgeous!</p> </blockquote>http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16520533644http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16520533644Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:11:15 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly7c307Hkx1r2lohvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Asymmetrical Design is less formal and can very appealing!</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theblackworkshop.tumblr.com/post/16286200841/party-in-the-back" target="_blank">theblackworkshop</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.dwell.com/slideshows/party-in-the-back.html?slide=1&c=y&paused=true" target="_blank">Party in the Back</a></p> </blockquote>http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16520439703http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16520439703Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:07:33 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly7k7vX7gL1qfqg7uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Glass house!!!</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://musesofdesign.tumblr.com/post/16341901415/via-dune-house-13-karmatrendz" target="_blank">musesofdesign</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://karmatrendz.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/dune-house-by-jva/dune_house_13/" target="_blank">Dune_House_13 « KARMATRENDZ</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16520418587http://peacefulbee.tumblr.com/post/16520418587Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:06:45 -0500
