Project Overload

Since Ive been SO bad at blogging lately....this is going to be a catch up post!

Get ready for a Project and picture overload!!

Project #1 Man Wardrobe

(Jared's been really wanting a wardrobe to put all of his business clothes in.)

My mom scored an awesome deal on an old antique 

wardrobe/cabinet from GoodWill many years ago.

Ive been eyeing it for the longest time!
Waiting for the day she wouldnt need it anymore...

Well that day came about a few weeks ago :D

I earned some brownie points cause I turned it into
 Jared's dream work wardrobe 

rather than using it in my craft room. haha!

Here it is before

And here it is after

We love how it turned out! :) 

Project #2 Coffee Table

Our 5 dollar coffee table was in NEED

 of a makeover to bring it back to life and to add some

color to the living room.

Here it is before

And here it is after

I was soooooo nervous to paint it yellow, but Im sooooo

glad I did!! :) I love the color and love how it looks in my living room!

Project #3 Fabric Wall Art

I love inexpensive projects!! We've been needing 

something above our sofa to make it cozy and

 to bring some color to the room but didnt want to put pictures up.

 *Bad experiences with that one..

So my solution to the problem was......*drum roll*

          THIS

We love it!! It brings so much color to the room and was so inexpensive

and easy to do!

Here is how we made them

Start with some fun fabrics 

(I got these fabric squares from the fabric store for about a buck)

Then pick out your looms!

You can get these at any craft store and range

from about $0.99 -$3.99 depending on the size you choose

Next paint them whatever color you want!
Or you dont have to paint them, i think the oak color can
be just as cool!

(sorry I dont have pictures for the next step :( )

Once they are dry, take out the middle circle (there are two per loom)

place the fabric on top of the middle loom

 then place the outside loom over that

(the fabric should be in between both looms)

Then tighten the fabric by pulling from

 the back then cut off the excess fabric

AND tada! You got awesome wall art!

 I think they look so awesome in

a living room, dinning room, and nurseries. And the best part is

if they fall they are soooooo light they wont hurt you or a little one :)

Project #4 Bedroom Nightstands 

We've had our nightstands for almost a year...and finally got around to repainting them!

I got them at a garage sale for 20 bucks, such a steal! :) 

Here is the Before

And here is the after

It went from white and gold to white and aqua.

A much needed change I think :)

Well thanks for taking the time to look at these projects,  I hope you all
love them as much as we do! We are loving our house and being able
to decorate!
