Just some things I've made....

This post is mostly for my sisters who said I needed to post the things I've made for my girls room, so here it is Amby and Shanny:) The dresser is from when we first had Lilli, we got it from a yard sale and painted it yellow.......WHY you may ask, yeah I am asking myself the same question. Anyways another project with none other than Rustoleum Spray paint! I really like how it turned out. It used to be in the closet, because HELLO it was yellow, but now it is out in their room. So now there is more room in the closet for their toys....YEAH:) I would like to get some pink knobs, but unbeknowst to me they are pretty expensive so this is how it will stay for awhile!!
Here are some modge-podge frames made with scrapbook paper!
The curtains, very simple design yet just perfect for their room.
I made these because I wanted to blow up some pictures of the girls, but didn't want to fork over the money for some frames. So I got some white canvas and covered them with some fabric, then I just tacked the pictures on. It's been a process, two years to be exact but I think I am finally finished with the girls room....besides the quilt:)

Girls Table and Chairs Make-Over

I bought the girls a table with two chairs and a bench awhile ago and it has been on my To-Do list for a long time. Finally I got around to re-doing them. So here is the before picture......
and here are some after pictures. I LOVE how they turned out!!!! Again I used Rustoleum Spray Paint. I love using spray paint, so easy and very minimal drips!
For the cushions I just bought some of that green cushiony stuff from Jo-Annes and then covered it with some cute upholstry fabric, then I finished it off with some ribbon.
Oh so cute!:)

Vintage Window Make-Over

So I saw this cute idea on one of the craft blogs I visit. So I set out to find myself a vintage window, or a REALLY old window. I found this place called Class and Trash. Josh was out of town the weekend I decided that I really needed a new project:) So I took all three kids with me. The girls thought it was really cool with lots of neat little treasures to behold. It went pretty well, besides the fact that it wasn't really stroller friendly but we managed. Anyways I found this beauty and couldn't wait to transform her:)
Here she is in all her glory:) I sanded it and then painted it with good ol' Rustoleum Spray Paint--one of my new favorite things. Then I had to find some fabric. I finally found some at a fabric store called U-Fab. A great place by the way! And then I just cut it down to size and tacked it onto the back.
Here she is with a little festive Halloween garland. I am really happy with how it turned out!
