Painted Funiture

Did you know that you can PAINT an upholsted chair or couch?

Well you can!  I found a great tutorial over at

hypheninteriors.com

I really want to try this.  All I need to do is find a place to put a chair!!!

Chalkboard Labels DIY

I love to label things.

When I found this tutorial I knew that I had to try it.

Check it out at The Shabby Creek Cottage.

More Storage Please

I am always looking for more storage.

This is a great way to store items under your bed. 

You can find the tutorial here.

Gift Wrap Storage Idea

What a great idea that I found to store your gift wrap.

Play Room

Welcome to our play room!!!

This has been quite a project and we are finally done and ready to play.

Side note:  My girls always end up together at night so we moved them into the same room and now use M's room as a play room.  The tree on the wall matched her bedding {it was painted freehand by me and my friend, Jen C}.

I didn't want to paint over it so we left it.

They now play in there for hours and LOVE IT!  I do, too!

 I spray painted this piece of metal {found at Home Depot} and hung it on the wall to hang the kids' art work!  I purposely hung it high enough

that my girls couldn't reach it so that their art wouldn't get ruined.

My dad made these STRONG magnets.  Super neat.

I found this frame at a thrift store, removed the glass

and lovely picture, and spray painted it white.

I LOVE SPRAY PAINT!

I found this darling owl at the Quilted Bear {Craft Boutique}

and hung him with my favorite things.

I wanted a little more pink so I took embroidery floss and pink circle stickers and added some decoration to the ceiling.  I used two dots for

every dot and sandwiched the floss in the middle of them. 

 I love how it turned out.

I used clear push pins, wrapped the floss around them, and

pushed them into the area where the wall and ceiling meet.

*So far it has held up great. 

 



The desk was a gift.  The girls use it all the time for playing and coloring.

Our beanbag is from Target.

It makes a great spot to read! 

Thanks for visiting today - stop by again and play.

Most of the time the playroom looks like this!!!

 I love having all the toys in one room and that I can just close the door!

Neat Paint Project

I love to paint.  When I find a new technique I have to share. 

I found this at sawdustandembryos.com

She painted her walls with flat paint then bought the

same color in high gloss for the swirls.

Great idea.  Check out her blog for more great DIY projects. 

I Love You Because....

I LOVE this idea.  I am so doing this for my family.

Write on the glass with a dry erase marker to change out the reason why you love them!

Prints can be found here.  Kiki now has a new print.

Super cute.

Happy Girls...

I'm so making this with my silhouette for my girls...

I can't remember where I found this (I think on Etsy), but it is true.

Can Safe

{image via}

Where do you store your valuables?  Well, I don't really have any but when I found this idea I loved it!  I think that all you would have to do is cut the bottom off of a can with a smooth edge can opener, empty and clean it out, glue an empty bottle (that has a screw lid) that is about the same size as the can to the top of the can and glue the lid of the bottle to the lid of the bottom of the can.  That way your valuables will be safe and out of sight.

You may want to use a can of something that you normally don't use so that your kids 

or the baby sitter wouldn't try to open it!

I would love to store treats that I don't want to share

with anyone or maybe my expo money in something like this .
