Guest Bath Re-do

When we first got married, I only decorated in red, red, and gold, and mostly red. SOOO tired of red. So now, moving on to blue and brown.

Ugly cabinet transformation

Believe it or not, the brown one was even worse before than it was in this picture. It was light oak, with these hideous brass handles. I didn't want to buy a new nightstnad yet for the guest room, so I painted it this mocha color and put silver handles on the door (yes that is a door-so bad I know) Anyway so when I decided to switch the guest room to Jenna's bedroom, I didn't want to spend a lot but didn't think this 'gem' had much potential. But I realized I had some leftover pink paint from Ashlee's room, and thought if I could take the door off and add a shelf, it would work fine. My husband got a piece of scrap wood for me, I put it in after painting the whole thing and added some scrapbook paper to the back, and here it is. All free!

Hanging Letters

Kids Step Stools

These are all Hobby Lobby half price stools, custom painted for my kids, friends and family's kids

Birthday Party Stuff

I forgot to buy a first birthday party hat for my little one this year, so I improvised. I had the package of birthday hats for all the kids and painted one yellow, added the trim and other stuff (all in my craft room--aka laundry room shelves) You'd be surprised what you can come up with!! Also the cupcake tray just seemed to need some height to it so I found an old vase under the kitchen sink and painted it personalized for her and put some decor in it from the girls rooms. Quick and easy last minute decor (and everything always is last minute around here!)

Newly Decorated Laundry Room

I still need to paint this room, but adding some simple decor has really helped me go in here more and get stuff done!

Handpainted Frames/Mirrors

Copycat Painting

I was in the mood to redo the guest bedroom into Jenna's room and on my favorite website, found this butterfly painting. Problem was, it was $170, which I was just not willing to pay. So...I copied it--not exact obviously, just made it similar. The first picture is the inspiration and the second is mine. It cost me about $7 for the canvas, and I already had the paint, and only 3 hours total!

Photo Cube

This is one I did years ago, I know it was when my oldest was a baby, because my sister had a photo cube on her living room coffee table. Well, Kendall knocked it off and broke it, so I decided rather than buy her a new one I would just make her another one. I was so proud of it!!

Kids Christmas Wreaths

Handprint/Footprint Wall Hangings

I had seen these in Pottery Barn and always wanted some for the kids but didn't want to pay the price. These were Kendall's I did for her when she was about 2. Just bought the 97 cent wood blocks, painted them, put her hands and feet on the stamp pad and stamped onto some scrapbook paper. Super easy and will always have something to remember those little hands and feet by.

Baby Shower Stuff

Easy and cute projects for baby showers or hospital doors! These are really old, the diaper cake in fact was done about 6 years ago, before I even had my first baby. :) My favorite thing to make is diaper wreaths; I do one for everyone I give a shower for . I wish I had more pictures; hopefully someone will have another baby before too long !!
