Vanity Desk


I often have hair brained ideas. 
Some of them my husband rolls his eyes
and shakes his head at
and others he's the one encouraging my madness. 
This one was a little of both. 
One of the kiddos was in desperate need
of a little room makeover. 
It was brown and I really
couldn't stand looking at it much longer and neither
could she.
 
 It has been a
a long process of painting different pieces of furniture.
Ripping out carpet and painting a floor,
which I will show off later. 
Now, I thought I would show off
her vanity/computer desk.
 

We bought some premade cabinets at the local home improvement store. 
My hubby and I spent the whole day priming and
painting the different components of her new desk. 


Yes, we painted oak cabinets. 
I think my husband shed a tear as the paint was being brushed on.
The pink is Valspar Frosty Berry and
we did the old-fashioned brush it all on.
I wanted it to look very girlie so we added
furniture legs to the front. 
They are mostly just for show, but
sometimes it is all about the details.
 


Every vanity needs a mirror! 
Someone gave us the mirror but it was gold. 
It now wears Frosty Berry oh so well.
 


 
It turned out even better than I had planned. 
I can't wait to show you the whole floor finished.

Not a Whole lot of Sewing going on.....and Pin it!

Sew, there has been zero sewing going on at my home because
 hubby and I have been working on a little something......   
 

A little remodeling


From two closets to one larger one

 
Hubby and I worked on it for a good day and finished it this far.  We went from a small not very useful linen closet and made a bedroom closet a little larger and more functional. 
I absolutely love doing projects like this
I guess you could say that it is in my blood.
 

 
Hoping we get it all finished up by the end on the week. 
And if you are looking for a bit of sewing inspiration the Pin-it hop starts tomorrow. 
  I am (thank goodness) all finished with my little pincushion
and can't wait to show it to you next week.
 Here is the schedule.
