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!
