Green with Envy


I found this chair in my neighbors garbage. I noticed one of the legs was broken, but a little wood glue and some TLC and she was as good as new. She will make a nice addition to my office.And here she is...

Armoire Makeover

I got this armoire from my neighbor and it was black with pink toile fabric panels on the doors and knobs. I was using it as my daughters closet since she didn't have one at the time. I was debating whether to redo it since we were moving her up into her big girl room or leave it as is. Thanks to the help of my 2 year old, I didn't have to make that decision. She pulled the panels off for me. It was time for a complete makeover.

This is how it looked without the panels and fabric knobs. The paint job was terrible.
This is it after. I don't know if you can see the subtle stencil pattern on the doors. After doing this project, I am on a stencil craze. Stay tuned for my next stencil job...the entryway. I will post as soon as I finish the job.

Easter Eggs

I wanted to find something to fill my jar for Easter, but didn't want to use the usual pastel easter eggs. I wanted them all to match so I tried just painting them with craft paint, but the paint wouldn't stick. So I tried spray painting them first and then the craft paint went on much easier. I think they turned out pretty cute.
