MIA

I am so sorry I am not keeping up with posting. I have an explanation. I am moving in 3 WEEKS!!!!...I am packing instead of projects, but don't worry I have a to-do list a mile long of what I want to do in my new house!!!!! Please check back in a few weeks when I can finally use all the brain juice I have been storing.

I Heart Spray Paint!

I cannot tell you how much I have fallen in LOVE with spray paint. Thirfty Decor Chick is having a spray paint party today and I knew I had to join. I have been working on my new side tables for a few days now and knew I had to finish them for the party! I found these babies at the thrift store and knew they were meant to be mine. I just knew they needed to be in my bedroom. Here is the before and after! Soon to come (when I find the perfect lamps) will be a picture of them in there new home. My bedroom!

Treasure Chest Anyone?

My husband and I were able to go on a date on Saturday afternoon. Well I have been CRAVING to go to the thrift stores to find a fun project. Well it was are lucky day. The whole store was 40% off!!!! So we looked and looked and found 2 fun projects. I will share one of them with you today. This was a great find. Extra storage is always a plus. Here is what I saw...

I immediately had what I wanted in my head. The cost of the trunk at $8.00 I couldn't resist. It would be PERFECT in our office with all the blankets inside. Here is what it looks like now after a little TLC. I LOVE IT!

All I did was remove the outside and recover it with fabric. Added trim to the top and bottom edges, painted the hardware and just like that it was like new. I can't wait to show you what it looks like in my new house. The problem is I won't be there for 8 more weeks. What thrift store finds have you just loved?

Color Anyone?

For just over a year now I have had these pictures hanging on my wall. As you can see they are SO plain and don't really stand out from the white wall behind them. Everyday walking by them I would just cringe. I LOVE the pictures. My husband took them and gave them all to me as a gift in frames. Love the pictures. Hated the mats that made the awesome pictures blend in. Yesterday, I finally decided to make a change. This is how it turned out!

A Birthday And Some Fabric

Today is a birthday of a dear friend. She is so sweet and kind and it is exciting to celebrate her today. I wanted to give her something that she would LOVE and use. I wanted it to be personal for her from me. So I found the PERFECT gift. I went to the store the night before found the CUTEST fabric and with in 2 hours had the perfect gift! Thanks be to Stop starring and start sewing for the inspiration and directions! Click here to make one for you or any of your friends.

Question For All Crafters

So here is the question I pose today. I REALLY need some feed back. I have this philosophy with doing crafts. It is my C.A.R.E. philosophy. Copy. And. Repeat. Everything. Being a crafter I love to get ideas from the web. So, if I see something that I LOVE and know I can do...can I always use the C.A.R.E. philosophy? What are your thoughts?

My Window

This is my first window I have done. I realized I had no wedding pictures hanging up. I decided to make my old window a wedding theme. LOVE. OLD. WINDOWS. Enjoy.
