Mirrored Dresser

I Looove mirrors. I'm always looking for them when I'm out an about bargain shopping. They're so easy to dress up and refinish and they ALWAYS make a room look great. Check out this tutorial I found over at remodelaholic.com She took an ordinary (and old!) bathroom mirror that was headed for the dump and used it on a dresser that she had sitting in her garage. I think it's ADORABLE! What do you think??

So CHIC! I LOVE it!!!

Moulding makes A Difference!

Let's just say I {HEART} moulding. And that's putting it mildly! If I had my way our house would be covered in it, and I'd have bead board everywhere. It makes such a statement, and adds so much to a room. These guys did a great job of showcasing their hallway with it. She explains all the how to's over at www.decorchick.com

 From plain Jane and just blahhhh....

to WALAAAA!!

Fab right?

Like I said. I {HEART} moulding.

Craigslist Armoire

Man do I LOVE me a good Craigslist find!! I bet I get on there about 10 times a day looking for things that I can turn into a treasure. I must say this is one of those. A true TREASURE! I love how it turned out! I found this over at www.domestically-speaking.com Oh, I'm jealous I want one!

Craigslist was good to me last week. Look what I scored for only $25!

I’ve been watching Craig for the last month hoping to score one. I wanted an armoire to put in our master bedroom to hide the flat screen hanging on the wall.

Here’s the steps I took:

1st - take off doors, remove drawers and hardware

2nd - sand lightly

3rd - cut the back out of the top section (so our wall mounted TV could slide on in)

4th - prime with Kiltz (what I had in the garage)

5th - give it 2 coats of white paint. My 1st coat I used up my White on White Glidden paint that I received FREE from one of their giveaways. The 2nd coat I went and bought Valspar’s White in Satin (their pre-mixed from Lowes)

6th - spray painted all the hardware with my love, Oil Rubbed Bronze (ORB)

7th - Wait impatiently till it’s all dry to reassemble

And here she is….

Look at her! All creamy and white, and shabby, and wonderful, and PERFECT...

Sigh.. Craigslist be kind to me so I may find one too...

Bathroom Towel Holder

This is such a great idea! I've driven past so many local construction sights and have seen old cabinets or pieces of "scrap cabinets" in big dumpsters. I've always thought to myself.. "hmmm I could do something with those" Now I know! I think I will be dumpster diving finding me some cabinets soon! Check out tatteredblissfun.blogspot.com 

What do you get when you take a cabinet door, some hooks from Hobby Lobby, paint and scrapbook paper? Here is pic of the cabinet door before...

A Towel Holder! Here is what it looked like when it was finished! It is now ready to hang up in my bathroom! I can't wait to try it out!

Fabric Flowers Framed Up

I am LOVING all of the damask fabric I have been seeing lately. I especially love THIS with the black and white with the bright yellow. FABULOUS! Check out makeit-loveit.com for her tutorial. Super easy!

Seriously how cute are these?!?

I think I need some in my bathroom!

Summer Blocks

 I found these adorable blocks over at iheartnaptime.blogspot.com.The bright colors are perfect for Summer! Too cute!

I finished these summer blocks last night, and I LOVE them! My crafty friend gave me the kit, and they turned out so cute! Thank you!!

First thing first is to paint your blocks! I ran out of a few colors, so I had to get creative and start mixing! I just used a sponge brush.

When the letters were dry I put on the vinyl and added some white paint around the edges. I tried a few different ways, and the EASIEST way to do this is with a sponge brush.

Here is a block with the distressed edge, and one without. I like it better with! Also, don't worry about it looking perfect...sometimes I do that a little too much

Next I added a fun wood piece.

I took some thick wire and wrapped it around a pencil, then hot glued it to the back.

I was going to drill a hole, but decided my wire was too small...so I nailed a hole and stuck the sun in.

So there they are all completed on my new craft desk!! So what do you think?!

If you would like a kit let me know, and I can get one for you. (iheartnaptime@gmail.com) For the unfinished kit(including everything but the paint) it would be $15. If you want a set, but don't have the time, we can do it for you for $7 more

 

Fresh, Fun, & Summery!!

What do you think?

Refurbished Hutch

I found this over at frostedgardner.blogspot.com. Melanie and her husband are AMAZING at painting and restoring old furniture. She has some really inspiring work on her blog. Go check her out!

This beautiful black hutch is unique in its shape and wood detailing. The top piece is angled which gives it alot of depth

I love the chunky base on this hutch. It has four drawers with the top being different than the other three. The doors have tons of detailing as well. We have added new hardware to compliment the different design.

 

I LLLOVE this!!!

Don't you?
