Yarn Wreath

 I've wanted to make this wreath for awhile now. I took off to DI and found this bag of fun yarn for $5 and went right to work. I added it to my front door to give it some character and here it is!!!

China Hutch

I bought this china hutch off of Craigslist for $175. I was so excited. I don't know where the before picture is- I'm so sad! Anyways, I finally got it home I prepped it, primed it, and then painted it yellow, When it was all painted I glazed it and put some poly acrylic over it. This was a big project that I'm glad to have behind me!

 This is the original picture on Craigslist.  It looks like it's the same color in the pictures but trust me....IT IS NOT! The hutch started out as a light light wood with a gloss. Now it is Yellow! :)

Unique Washer/Dryer Pedestal

My sister in law Dena and her husband Brandon built a pedestal like this for her washer and dryer and it was the cutest thing so naturally I had to have one. She told me she got the instructions off of annawhite.com so I went there and printed out the tutorial. Dena also added some crown molding on the top and we loved that so we did it to the top and bottom of our pedestal. I painted it green with a brown glaze and now it is ready to go. My laundry closet is too small and I'm so sad so I'm now selling this fun piece.

Dimensions are approx. 61' x 20'

Round End Table

 This adorable table was at a consignment store on Main Street here in Cedar and I just fell in love with it. It was on sale for $20 but I passed it up. Every time I drove by I could still see it sitting outside STILL on sale. Finally I just had to have it. I pulled in the parking lot and went straight to it. It was now $10. YES! I was so excited! I went straight to the worker and told her I wanted it before I lost it to anyone else. She said she had just barely marked it down 5 minutes before I got there! I threw it in my car and took it home. Once again Doug didn't really like it.

I took off the old handle, wood filled the handle holes and then sanded it down, added some sand deglosser, painted it yellow and glazed it with an almost gold/bronze glaze. When it was dried I added another cute knob I bought at Hobby Lobby. Guess who loves it now?! Doug!

Antique Vanity

 I was at the DI when I spotted this! I was so excited! It was $45 but Doug didn't love it. He didn't want me to get it but I threw a fit until it was mine. He gave in and I brought it home. I sanded it all down and painted it this pretty blue turquoise color and then lightly glazed it. I got rid of the old handles and added these glass knobs I got from Hobby Lobby! Now this vanity sits in my daughters room and I love it. Oh and it is now one of Doug's favorite things as well. He always gets nervous when I want a piece of furniture and then surprise surprise! Fancy that...he LOVES it!

Paper Wreath

I was at my friends house when I saw her paper wreath she had won and I had to make one. So, I bought an old book from the DI. One that didn't have pictures and older looking pages. More or tan paper than starch white. I distressed all the pages front and back with a black ink pad. I then took a pencil and wrapped the paper around it- hot glued the tip and shoved it in the foam wreath until it was all filled with paper. :)

Crown Board

My sister and I saw the cutest thing in Pottery Barn Magazine so we replicated it. Only we added a crown vs. a dinosaur. Here is the results!

First we bought a board that was about a 1/2  or 3/4 inches thick and cut it evenly into fourths. We rounded the edges and painted the 4 boards white. We nailed them all together and then hand drew the crown on the board. After it was all painted and dried we took our sander and really antiqued it all- the edges, some of the crown and pretty much wherever we wanted. We wiped it down really good and gave it a nice stain. After it was all finished we decided to add some rhinestones. It was the perfect touch! LOVE IT!
