After we put in the new couch we had no room for this little end table and it was destined to go to the yard sale pile. Until I had a great idea! I could use it in my office! You see we moved our old couch into the office, so now I have a nice seating area when I want to laptop away. But it always felt like it needed something in the little sitting area...I could use that end table as a coffee table in there!! It's small, it could work! So I sanded it down and took the hardware off and spray painted the table white, the drawer pull pewter, and the inside of the drawer blue!!

Bulletin Board Makeover
I bought a cork/magnetic white board several months back and it had just been sitting there in the kitchen on the floor, just waiting for me to find it a home on my wall. Well I found a frame that worked and painted it white and hot glued him in! The frame opening was slightly too small but I wasn't going to go out and buy a frame just for it, and I didn't really want to cut my white board. So instead I embraced the fact that there was just going to be a ledge and I use that space to put the dry-erase marker and the pencil! It works perfect in the slightly awkward wall space by the back door that leads into the laundry room! I added some white cup hooks under it and now all our keys are easily accessible! It came with some plain and kind of ugly magnets so I attached a flower to them and put a rhinestone in the center of each of them. So now they're pretty not pretty ugly!

Glue Gun Makeover!!
I've seen people give their glue guns a makeover before and ever since then my little glue gun has felt left out. So today I finally chose a color and went for it!. First I taped off all the parts I didn't want to be painted. Then I started spray painting it! I think it turned out pretty awesome!!

Brother-in-Laws Birthday Card!
First let me apologize for my super long absence, I've been busy in the land of tutu making and hair bow accessory making. But today I decided to take the day off from making stuff for my business, and clean house instead! And while waiting for laundry to get done I made my brother-in-law a birthday card for his upcoming 18th birthday!

First Ever Sewing Project!
I have sewed my first project ever! I came across this super cute curtain at the thrift store today and immediately thought of the two coffee drinking people I know, my mother-in-law and my best friend. So I decided to make an apron out of one of the panels for my best friend! (the valance that's in the same pattern, I gave to my mother-in-law). It was super easy! Perfect for my first project!
