What time is it?

It's time for a clock makeover. I recently purchased this clock from craigslist. It wasn't what I went to purchase but saw it sitting there and knew it could be something cool. Here it is before...and after.

Steal of a Deal

I found this dresser at a garage sale for $45.  What a steal.  I saw a similar one on craigs list just a few days before for $90, but when I called about it, it was already sold.  I'm so glad it was already sold.  So I took this outdated dresser......and turned it into this...........

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.

Old Gold frame turned into a fancy chalkboard

Ok so this picture isn't the best, but I think the chalkboard turned out cute even so.

This is the BEFORE...



This is the AFTER....

Gold Frame

I went shopping at the local thrift store with some friends today and what a find. I got this frame for a whopping 3.98. What a deal. Mom you would be proud. The lady at the register looked at my frame and said, "what a great deal, this is a very expensive frame." I had to chuckle to myself because, really its not an expensive frame. Its made out of plastic. I'm not sure what color to paint it yet, or if I want to make it into a chalkboard or a mirror. Any suggestiong? I will post the AFTER pictures when I finish it.
