Wow! It sure has been a while since I posted on here! Honestly, I totally forgot that I even had this blog!!! So much has happened over the last couple of years that kinda slowed me down on doing very many projects, but I thought that I would post a few here that I have done... there aren't that many, but I have been working on things for my own house instead of selling so much.
I decided to redo my little table and bench that I had on the carport, turned out nicely. I did this in 2014 and it's now time to do it again. I think that this time I may go with some brighter colors to make it "pop" more. It's actually not even in the same place anymore, lol! This was a simple spray paint job. I just cleaned it good and used a spray paint that was made for outdoors. It's lasted a while, so I am happy with it. :)
These next few I actually did for the booth. Just spruced up an old corkboard with some paint and covered the cork with this awesome looking fabric I found. It didn't last long...
Now, those dang baskets on the other hand... those took a while to go. I still think that they are pretty though. I probably spent too much time on them really. They were brown plain baskets and I just spray painted those with a glossy paint and added the pretty ribbons. If I had a fire place, I would have totally used those for spring decor!
So... one of the "things that was going on" that caused my absence from here was I am now a grandma!!! :) Yup! So, you know I had to do something special there! This is a diaper cake that I attempted. I had never done one before and it wasn't actually that hard. It turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! My daughter wanted a "Shabby Chic Baby Shower" so of course I was ALL IN! This, of course, was only the tip of the iceburg! I made every decoration (using this theme) and everything was centered around the diaper cake. Not too "shabby" if I say so myself!
My next project was my first dresser redo attempt. This was actually my MIL's that I decided to redo. Hubby wanted to put it down by the road and I told him to let me redo it. I think that it came out great for my first ever dresser redo! This was a piece that I put in the booth simply because I didn't have room in my house for it. Thinking back, I should have kept it. Oh well.
This was a little chest that my mom had in storage that I redid for my grandbaby. I kinda cheated on this one because I was redoing a dresser set at the same time. Of course this was during the time that I wasn't taking any "before" pics... but it was a huge transformation from what it was in the beginning. It's actually one of my favorite pieces. My daughter has since moved out, and of course she took this with her. :(
The little window that was once on the porch... I ended up redoing that and creating this... I am thinking that I am going to redo it.... yet again. Another Pinterest idea lol! Not bad though.
I have some more that I have done but I am going to save them for another post. :)
