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!

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!)
