Oatmeal container turned headband holder


Thought I would try making one of these; had seen on several blogs! Got an old oatmeal container from a friend and fabric covered it, added ribbon and flower embellishment to the top .  Used as a birthday gift to hold bows on the inside and headbands on the outside.

Before and After Desk




While my cousin and I were out flea-marketing, I found this red / checkerboard top desk and even though ugly, knew it could be redone into something cute eventually.  Was asked to do a chair for the yearly CASA event and remembered I had this up in the attic just waiting to be made cute!  Here's the after.

Mirror


This first one was a stock photo but it's what her mirror looked like before.  Plain ole cherry stained freestanding mirror.  It didnt' work anymore so I threw the base away and painted to hang on Kendall's wall.

Trunk Before/After


This was my trunk when I was a kid.  Can you say ugly!!  With a little paint and bench top it looks great in Kendall's room.
