Bedroom makeover time



I can't believe we've only had this dresser and nightstand set for 5-years...it shows but it just doesn't seem that long.  I really didn't and don't want to have this new project because its just so tedious but the outcome is always fun.  

I started with one nightstand to make sure it looked good enough to do the dresser and other nightstand. 

Of course I used my favorite solution "deglosser" to begin the process. 

Here's the OLD...so scratched up and ready to be renewed! 



The process...




The finished product...


Also notice the lamp...it basically looked like this ( I forgot to take a pic of the before) 


While I was waiting for paint to dry I decided to fix the lamp up too... Just a little spray paint, gray on shade and white on lamp.



Now the dresser is next...ughghg

Baseball stitch wall

I originally saw this idea online but I did things a little different then what I read so I thought I'd share my techniques to make this easy and  satisfying :). My first step was to paint the entire wall, basically bc it was a flat paint before and I changed it to eggshell.   Obviously walls vary in size so you will just need to determine how close you want the stitching.   We tied a pencil at the end of a rope and then tacked it in the corner then drew from one side to the other to get the long line.  Make sure u hold the pencil outright and not slanted at all!  Then do the other line in the opposite corner.   I traced the line with a thin paintbrush using a gray paint we had already.  It's ok if the line isn't exactly the same thickness ! If u look close you can see mine varies in thickness.  The best thing I did was make a stencil from a scrap piece of cardboard for the stitching.  And I didn't...

Cowgirl Birthday Party

Image
I recently had a cowgirl bday party for my daughter. We rented the room at a local farm owned by the city. It's called Rutledge-Wilson Farm, so cute my daughter chose 2 animals to be brought in so that her and her friends could pet them. Found a patch at walmart that I just cut into a tie and ironed on a onesie for the baby.  My daughter chose the Rabbit and the horse to pet at the farm.  I think she was pretty proud of her party :)  Ordered this western necklace and a cactus magnet for the kids to make as "craft" time! I made most everything in the pics...including the tutu which i am really excited about. The Bags I bought from Hobby lobby and then I bought the handkerchiefs from wal-mart for $1.00 a piece. I filled the bags with cookies, fruit snacks, a popper toy, candy and then the badge (from hobby lobby) on the outside.  I made the name labels with Western Font that I found online for free and scrap-booking paper. ...
