RED door

I decided that I needed to add some character to my front hallway. Being that I have a little house, the door was just BEGGING to be painted.

So, after 3 coats of paint (I still need to do one more) I have my red door! I think I might paint the white diamonds with black. What do you think?

Tiny Table for Two

Since my daughter wanted the gold mirror at her play table, I had to make it match, right? Her table was ready for a new coat of paint anyway. 

So, here is her table before:

To go with Mommy's theme, right? Too cute!

Hooked on Laundry

Here is another Pintrest project, and one of my FAVORITE. 

So here is my laundry room before:

(I've got to get a room divider to hide the water heater- my next purchase.)

I taped off the stripe I wanted. I did 7", and it seems to work well. Here's a tip when applying tape: wear the tape around your wrist and unroll as you need it. Then, use an old credit card to make sure the paint doesn't bleed through the tape. It works like a charm!

Anddddd, I LOVE how this turned out!!

To make sure the hooks were spaced out evenly: I measured the space I wanted the hooks to cover and divided it by the number of hooks I had. Perfectly spaced!

Weekend Projects

Well, I have a few projects for this weekend. Here are some 'before' photos as well as photos of inspiration. I will create a post about each one as they are completed. 

So, to start.

My doors do no have trim around them, so I thought I would bring some depth into the hallway and paint them on! Also, the doors are too plain for my liking, so I am going to paint a stripe down the whole hallway. Pictures to follow.

Next, I'm going to create this Pintrest find:

Rubber bands around a vase, and spay paint! Clever, hu??

My own pictures to follow.

Happy crafting!

Entry Way Wall

If you've read my 'information' section you know "I have this condition" (Memento...anyone? anyone?) Correction, three conditions. 1. Acute Hoarding 2. Cheapness 3. Creative Brain (and lets face it, I need change in my life). I have challenged myself to many indoor and outdoor projects this summer, and I'm sure I will find many upcoming projects during summer yard sales. In all actuality, this is a positive creative outlet for me (it is wayyyyyy more cost effective than therapy; and more fun!). So, let the documentation begin! 

My first small project was to find something to put on my entry way wall. I had some family pictures put up, but I didn't like knowing if someone where to look through the windows of my front door they would see who lived there. So, I found this on clearance at Target! $9

I thought about a mirror, but I couldn't pass up this $9 purchase. And it fits the wall perfectly, right? Plus it is a great reminder: Sing, Dance, and Love. 

Onward.
