Create Awesome-Ideas for Everyday
Are you ready to see another furniture redo of a previous redo? I know I can’t be the only person that paints stuff and then changes her mind a few months later! I’ve been reading the book Simplicity Parenting and have been trying to calm my kids rooms down. Less toys, less stuff, calmer furniture, peaceful, serene. [...]
I’m working on my daughter’s room the next few weeks. So excited to show you all the cute projects! I started with her dresser that I painted with the new Annie Sloan Chalk paint color-French Linen. I bought her dresser for $10 at a garage sale. It’s all wood but just needed a little update. [...]
I found this great chair at Goodwill for $10. I’ve been looking for the perfect chair for my entryway and loved the legs on this one. The before was not too bad but I knew I wanted to paint it since I already have a couple different wood stained tables in that area. I painted [...]
Okay I’m going to admit something. I am getting a little sick of pink. All my friends promised it would happen after a few years with a girl but I doubted them. I went from a house with three boys and no pink to an explosion of pink when Ellie was born. So I decided [...]
I debated back and forth whether or not to even do this project. I was so afraid that I was going to “ruin” a perfectly good dresser by gluing a million fabric pieces to it! So glad I won the argument with myself and went for it! This was the before. I got this dresser [...]
I wanted all the school aged kids to have a desk for the new school year. I’m hoping that they will all go study quietly in their rooms every night, get straight A’s and then scholarships! A Mom can hope. Broden wanted his desk blue but told me he didn’t want it that aqua color [...]
Like my free dresser? I picked this little gem off the curb for ZERO DOLLARS. My favorite price. Broden got a new bed that is pretty high and it needed a nightstand so I decided to repurpose this piece rather than build/buy an extra tall nightstand. The bedroom has an antique black iron bed that [...]
I am just loving houndstooth lately. I’ve been on the look out for something to paint houndstooth and this little stool seemed like the perfect victim! It was $6 but it was 1/2 off orange tags so I got it for $3! Before. Snooze. Too boring. I spray painted the whole thing white and then [...]
The boys and I have been working on their rooms together. My 5 year old wanted a Star Wars room. Which worked out great because we already had the duvets that were purchased from PBkids a few years ago. I think all little boys go through a Star Wars phase. My Dad is a college [...]
So we are moving to a new house next week! I’m so excited because it has a yard for my kids to play in and more bedrooms. Right now all three of our boys share a room, oh the fighting that leads to. The best thing to do if you have to move in a [...]
