When I visit Viva Full House Blog, I often have to clean the drool off my keyboard. I kid. I kid. (That’s a little gross and I’m too classy for that). Anyways, the content of her blog is close to flawless- it may even be flawless. Christina has such impeccable style when it comes to home decor. When I see pictures of her home, I have to fight the urge not to throw out or burn everything in my living room, kitchen and bedrooms. I have to start chanting things repetitively to calm myself down… “Kiersten you’ve only been married 8 months. You live in a Sky Rise apartment and it’s not so easy to get furnishing up 32 flights of stairs. Kiersten your time will come. Don’t spend the money decorating this tiny apartment who knows where you’ll be in 6 months.” Get the point? I can’t help that my feng shui starts to look like scrap compared to her amazing taste. Every room has it’s own personality. Christina at Viva Full House not only rocks in the Home Decor department but she makes some of the most amazing crafts imaginable. She has CRAZY style and everything she does is inspiring. Last but definitely not least, Christina of Viva Full House has the most GORGEOUS family…what a gene pool!!! {Is it me or does this seem to be a common characteristic among our blog highlightees?} Us Bella Girls actually grew up in the same neighborhood as Christina so of course we love to stalk her blog for multiple reasons and we know you will too.
(Stunning right?)
(I had to include this picture. I think it is so perfect.)
Christina’s Personal Bio:
The title Full House pretty much sums up my life. If you’ve ever played with dice or the game Yahtzee then possibly you’ve rolled a Full House. As luck would have it in the game of life I rolled out twin girls and triplet boys. What am I doing blogging…I should be in Vegas winning money for diapers. If I really hit the jackpot I’d hire Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse to move in and help out. Oh and I like to associate life’s happenings with home decor. I like parties & to fit in a craft every once in a while.
And now we visit…….. Her HOUSE!
1st stop, the girls room.

Wouldn’t you love to have her design your own home? Me too.
I leave you now with one of Viva Full House’s most genius crafts, Crowns for your Crown.
Want to make a crown? Perhaps for a little girls birthday party, or just because…
You need to start out with some lace pieces. There is a gold leafing liquid located by all of the leafing supplies @ either Micheals or JoAnns. Really all you will need are paintbrushes, wax paper, modge podge, gold acrylic paint and the gold leafing paint (gold leafing paint really gives the crown a metallic finish). Place your lace on the wax paper.
Then paint it with the acrylic paint. After it has dried on both sides, then Modge Podge it. You will want to apply at least 3 coats. Make sure to fully saturate. the lace. After it is dry,bust out the gold leafing liquid and apply. Once dried you can attach some ribbon with heavy duty craft glue and some of the velcro circles to help keep the crown in place.
Once the craft glue has dried and the velcro is in place… GO WILD!
