Garage Makeover



Decided Paul needed a man room for his Christmas present, so while he was out of town I had the walls and floor painted.  Our friend Joey hooked up the TV and I put a bar, popcorn machine and heater out there. He was surprised and happy!

Big Girl Bed

So sad that my last little baby is now in a big girl bed!!  Sniff. :(  Ok not really.  Admit to being fine with being past the baby stage. Anyway our friends Jen and Joey gave us this daybed of their daughter's, which was black.  Painted it this cute lime green , found bedding at my favorite store TJ, and made a tulle bedskirt for it.  Took DAYS of tying, looping, stretching etc. But I am happy with it and she loves it! :)

Wooden Door Ornament


I had seen a wreath with a small wooden circle painted as an ornament and decided I wanted to do a really large ornament decoration.  So I found a $2 discarded tabletop at Goodwill and painted this design and added our name.  I cut an ornament hanger out of cardboard and painted it black, glued it on; done.  30 minute project!

Glitter Shoes


I had these old black heels stashed in the Goodwill pile, and decided to get them out after seeing a glitter shoe tutorial on a blog.  I was skeptical that it would work but tried it anyway.  Mixed the glitter until I got a color I liked and put mod podge in it, mixed it up and put it on the shoes. After about 8 hours here is the after result.  And it doesn't come off at all.  Loved them at Christmas!!
