Buffet


I finished the buffet!!! Yay!  I actually finished a while ago but I'm just now posting due to me being busy preparing for my daughters "Princess Tea Party" ( which I will post pictures in).  

I need to sand the doors down a but as they are rubbing with the xtra layers if paint. 

So,  like I mentioned before my mom brought this over to me from her garage. It needed some MAJOR TLC!  
I had to cut a piece of wood to fix this broken leg!  Just glued in on, sanded, used wood filler, sanded, sanded, sanded! 
Definitely had to keep the original hardware!  Spray painted them black and the original hinges were rusted so I just bought new hinges!
This thing came from a garage sale and it was so nasty in and out.   I sanded lightly but used the liquid sander deglosser as it's my favorite :) 
The drawer was gross it has a purple Nasty velvet liner that stunk and was a pain to remove. :( 
Ok, so my initial plan was to paint white and do the door and drawer panels gray but the wood ( pinkish) stain kept bleeding thru the white so I just painted it all gray twice and then did panels white.  I was wanting to just paint the panel tiny trim white but it was hard considering I was out of painters tape and was too impatient to go get some. :)
Here's the final product.  LOVE!  I really love having a buffet rather than a tall china cabinet and I love that it's all enclosed so no one can see my clutter :) 
The main reason why I wanted a buffet is to be able to SERVE from it for Kalyssa's Tea Party so here is a pic from her bday and I will post a separate Birthday post as well.

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 try to draw the stencil exa

Princess Tea Party

For my daughters 5th Birthday party we decided upon a Tea Party with Cinderella!  I think I went overboard this time but all the kids and even parents were saying what a great party it was which makes me feel really good since I put so much time and effort into it!  These were the party favors, I loved making these! I just cut out the circles with a cd as my template, then used a cupcake wrapper template for the tea cup and it took a while to cut out the perfect handle but I got it! Used the bags to make it look like steam coming from pot! I also put name labels in the side as well so the kids wouldn't fight over them. I bought all pink candies, stickers, Cinderella pens for the girls and sll blue candies for the boys! The boys didn't partake in the tea party ;)   Pin the Tiara on the Princess! Bought on Amazon for apx. $2.99  Had Cinderella give all girls a wand, gloves, and a necklace!   Tea Cup Pinata, Made by
