Mirror mirror on the wall

I have had the same boring unframed mirror hanging on my wall in my bedroom since I was a teenager. I have always wanted one of the ones on the stands but could never afford it, that's why when I found this beauty I knew I had to buy it.

I began by cleaning and sanding and cleaning some more. Then I taped off the glass with painters tape and cardboard to make sure paint didn't get on the glass.

I love how it turned out and am excited to get the old mirror off the wall!!

Taking a break

For the next few weeks I will be MIA, but for a good reason...we will be welcoming baby #3 into the world on Thursday (or sooner if she decides to come on her own). I hope to be back to projects and blogging some time in August but I am not making any promises. :) Pin It

Closet size dividers

As we are awaiting the arrival of baby #3 (our second girl) I have been putting their shared room together. One thing that was a big mess was their closet. I after trying to organize it a number of times I decided to get closet size dividers...well make my own. I started with 2 packs of letter "O"'s from hobby lobby, scrapbook paper, spray paint, stickers, and mod podge.

Before

I traced the "O"s on the scrapbook and cut them out then spray painted the "O"s. Once they dried I used the mod podge to stick the scrapbook paper to the letters and once that dried I put the stickers on for the sizes I needed and here is the finished product.

Nail polish rack

I used to keep my nail polish in a basket all mixed together and always digging around trying to find the color I wanted. Then I found a picture on Pinterest where they took a spice rack painted it and stored their nail polish on it. So I was on a mission and it took a few weeks but I found one and it has a drawer on the bottom. :)

I spray painted it purple and organized my nail polish on it...now I just need to get my hubby to hang it :)

End tables

For a while now I have wanted smaller furniture so we could have end tables in our living room and a little more space to move. When I found these on craigslist I snatched them up. I love detail and that they have drawers.

Before

Now that we have a smaller couch we have room for the end tables Yay!!! To make them match my decor a little more I painted them...grey bottoms with a black top and black handles. I love how they turned out and how easy of a project it was.

Potato bin

I have a very large kitchen but not a lot of pantry space. I wanted something to put potatoes and onions in and happened across this at a thrift store for $6.

Before

All I did to it was clean it up really well, painted it, and put the word potato on it. Very simple but I love how it turned out.

Monogram frame

I wanted something to hang above my new baby girls bed and searched Pinterest and found a lot of people put monograms. So I bought this frame for $1 at a local thrift store.

                                                                           Before

I bought some letters from hobby lobby for Marlee's monogram and some burlap fabric. I painted the frame and the letters and cut the fabric to fit in the frame. Here is how it turned out...I love it so much I think I might make another one for my other daughter.
