Create Awesome-Ideas for Everyday
I’ve been hard at work on my front porch. It’s looked a little sad and forgotten since we moved in and not very welcoming. I made some little planters for by the front door. I also wanted to spruce up our little seating area. So much more welcoming now. Before. It was just a spot [...]
I’m still hard at work on Ellie’s big girl room. One of the things I wanted her to have was a little spot to sit and read her favorite books. I started by purchasing two Agen wicker chairs from Ikea. I’ve been keeping an eye out at thrift stores for kid chairs but haven’t seen [...]
Remember the dresser from the laundry room that got replaced with my Ana White laundry dressers? It got a little makeover for my son’s new dinosaur bedroom! Before: After! I primed it with Zinsser 123 primer and then painted it with 2 coats of Behr’s antique tin in satin. Same color as his nightstand. The black [...]
Today I’m going to show you how I gave my son’s nightstand a makeover so it was a better fit for his new dinosaur room. I bought the nightstand last year for like $25. I sanded it down and stained it last May but then my oldest son got a queen bed and the nightstand was too small [...]
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 [...]
