Front Porch Flowers!

I have had so much fun working on my flowers this Spring!  The weather has been amazing!  I found a cute tiered planter at Hobby Lobby on sale for $30 & knew I could do something with it!  You could use it for several things... I thought about putting in our master bathroom to roll towels up in, but decided it would work great as a planter to add vertical color to the front porch.

Our front porch.  I LOVE to sit outside and enjoy the pretty weather!

Here are a couple of the outside of our home.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Craft room tables got a makeover!

Hi Everyone!  I have been in my new house for a year now and have slowly been working on my dream craft room.  I LOVE not having to craft at the kitchen table anymore!  


I have three brown 5 foot folding tables in my craft room that I have been wanting to pretty up.  I had several ideas floating around in my head and decided to go with the least expensive choice.  I'm kind of cheap like that! Ha!

 I started my table makeover by covering the the tables with wrapping paper, yes.... WRAPPING PAPER!  I already had this on hand.  Woo Hoo!!!  I just trimmed around the edges to match the rounded corners of the table.

 I purchased enough clear vinyl at Hobby Lobby to cover all three tables.  I got a little extra to staple the edges under the table.  I had a 40% off coupon, so I got all the vinyl for around $13.  Sweet!

 My cat, Max enjoyed taking a nap on the vinyl backing paper.  He's such a helper!  He's ALWAYS with me when I'm working in my craft room!  I just cut each piece of vinyl to fit the tables and stapled around the bottom with a staple gun.  Easy Peasy!

 Here's a picture of the finished product!  I love how it turned out!  It adds so much fun and whimsy to my craft room!  It was soooooo worth the out of pocket expense of $13 and about 1 hour of my time!

 Here's a picture of two of the tables pushed together to make a large work area.  The other table is against a wall & is my sewing table.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!

"Tween"ager Bedroom!

Hello Everyone!

We have been in our new home for two months now and have been very busy making it our own.  Our oldest daughter wanted a pink and black funky room, so that's what we have been creating for her!

Here is a before picture of her room before we moved in.  The builder had it staged as an upstairs living/game room, but we wanted to turn it into a "tween"ager suite for her.  We had the builder add a wall, door, closet and a desk to the room.

My hubby did all the painting... He is an AWESOME man!!!

Here are some more after shots!

The picture above is her living area.  The futon came from Wal-Mart, the lamps & memo boards from Hobby Lobby, and the pillows and throw from JC Penny.  The coffee table and end tables were a yard sale find that I "Jillified"!  They were a light brown wood.  I sanded them down and gave them a couple of coats of black spray paint and they look perfect!

This is a picture of her sleeping area.  The bedding came from JC Penny.  I still have to hang her valance and black curtains, and my hubby has to finish the pink paint trim, but it's getting there!

She is absolutely LOVING her chalkboard walls on each side of her bed!  She and her friends have sooooo much fun writing on them!

And that's it!  Hope you all enjoyed the tour of her funky room!

Thanks for stopping by!
