Guest room is finished!

I am so excited to finally say that our guest room is finished!  We have lived in our house for two years now and this has been on my to do list since we moved in.  I absolutely love how it turned out.  I now look forward to having friends & family come and stay with us.  The room was quite boring and ugly before.  Hope you enjoy the tour!

This is an old mirror that I found at a garage sale a few years back.  It was originally dark brown and was part of a beat up dresser.  Amazing what a coat of paint can do.

A relaxing, comfy place for our guests to stay.

I got the word art sign at a little store in the town I live in.  Love it!

This picture shows the gray wall color.  So relaxing.

I got this cute little side table at K-Mart of all places!  I added a little black paint to the top to add some whimsy to it.

I used Annie Sloan chalk paint to transform this dresser.  It was my dresser that was in my bedroom when I was a little girl!  It was originally dark brown wood.  LOVE that I was able to use in this room!

I decided to distress it a little and add some dark wax to it.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at our guest room!  I am thrilled that it is finished and that I was able to use a lot of items that I already had to decorate the room.  Paint on the walls & furniture made a huge impact!

I will be adding more rooms in our house to the house tour soon!

Beautiful Dish Soap DIY!

Hi Everyone!  First, let me apologize for being MIA for a few months.  I love posting on the blog, but let it get away from me...  I feel like I've let you down.  I am going to try harder to post more often.  I've got LOTS to show you!

I just finished a quick and easy dish soap beautification project!  Beautification... I LIKE that word.

I started by picking up an interesting vase at my local flower shop.  I then ordered the valve dispenser  from Amazon.com.  (They come in a set of 2).  I poured my soap in and put the valve on and viola... Counter worthy dish soap.  I LOVE how it looks now!

For me, it's the simple little things that make me happy.  Let me know if you try this! :)

Sorry!

Hi everyone!  Just wanted to check in to let you all know that all is well, just BUSY!  I'm sorry that I didn't add the linky party last week.  We have had out of town company for a couple of weeks now.  One family left & another is here!  I'm also spending some great quality time with my girls.  We are getting ready for a family vacation to Disney World, so I may not have the linky party up for a couple of weeks.  Don't give up on me... I'll be back!!


Many of you have been asking for a house tour with photos.  I don't know why I feel weird about posting pictures of my house... I have completed soooo many projects since we moved in that I am excited about & would love to share them with you, so I guess I will bite the bullet and start posting about them with pictures!


Thanks for taking the time to read about my crafty little world.  I'll be back soon! :)
