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. :)

Before



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.

Necklace holder

My daughter has a jewelry box but there is no where to hang necklaces, so when I spotted this for .25 I knew the solution to my problem.

Before

 
All I had to do to revamp this beauty was clean it, tape the hooks, paint it, and enjoy its new look!

Lamp redo

My sister was redoing her room and couldn't find a lamp she liked so I offered to help her out. We went to the thrift store and found these two beauties for $5 total.

Before



She wanted a black base with a black and white lampshade to go with her black, red, and white bedroom. So I taped off the top and spray painted the lamp black. Then I took the monogrammed fabric and trim off the lamp shade and traced the lampshade on the new fabric. Then I hot glued the new fabric onto the lampshade.  It looks like a completely different lamp.
