 Here is the sad office.  NOtice the baby decorations on the walls.  Do you think a baby lives in this room?  Ya, NO.  notice the ugly some renter before us tore off the sliding closet doors...and ugly yellowy color on the walls...that's what sucks about renting.  We can paint the walls but why pay and do the work?  Unless, You have somebody awesome like Mandi coming to do a makeover with some cash from sponsors to pay for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Purging My House!!!!!

I am purging my house of unwanted and ugly and useless furniture that just makes me depressed and replacing it with beautiful and lovely new furnishings that I have re-done...this will be a work in progress but it feels so good to get rid of all that ugly wal-mart furniture, handme handme downs, and just plain junk.  I am not in college anymore and I am ready to have a cute house that I love to just hang out in....Now I know that I can do it without costing a fortune.  My newfound skills have given my hope for my house! 

Here is the Target pillow that I knocked off....Tutorial on how to make it coming soon....hopefully tomorrow or someday...

Okay so I have been too busy to post...here are some of my latest PROJECTS

Oh my gosh this is one of my most favorite things...I almost don't want to sell it but I am working to save up for an awesome flat screen it will be worth it...Beautiful Giraffe patterned bench with copper color on the wood base...

 Look at the beautiful corners and the cording around the edge...who knew I would learn how to do this..I was so intimidated before...

 OKay, so I love doing tufted buttons...they really are not to bad...I need to start showing more pictures of the process of re-upholstering....would peeps be interested????

 I love this adorable shabby chic little nightstant...Imaging it next to a cute white twin bed in a little girls room...so adorable...

 This is on my top list of favorite things I have done...The picture does not do the color justice..it is a deep cherry red...and antiqued with black glaze...it is so red and shiny....I LOVE IT!!! I have it for sale but I secretly hope nobody buys it so I will keep it!

 This was a super fun project...I saw this pillow at Target and it was like $35 buck and I am like I don't have that kind of money...I bought some fabric at wal-mart for like $4 or less actually the green was a little more cause it was a bigger bolt.  I will put more pictures up and show a tutorial on how to make the adorable fabric flowers for the pillow...much easier than I thought they would be...so, that tutorial will be coming soon..I just need to write it all out....So cute...you could do all sizes of these flowers...

Fun Finds to make-over!

Here are some fun things I have found to give a new look to....So, keep an eye out to see how they turn out..They could be crap or they could be treasures...Ya never know!   I need to post a picture of the piece O hud lampshades that I did...I was so disappointed...they can't all be gems I guess..

Project Binge over the weeekend!

Man did I go on a binder...I am in project detox from this weekend.  My friend and I each made headboards, I worked on teacup lamps, started pillow projects...and cleaned my house after all the chaos ended....here are some fun pictures of the headboard project and some others. Can you believe that we made the headboards out of old doors we found in our basement???? So cool, the most expensive was the Z bar on the back used to hang it and my fabric...My friend got her fabric for $18.  So, a door, 3 yards of fabric and a few other items you can have a beautiful headboard in no time for a fraction of the cost. 

This is a super cute pillow I made.  I went to Target and I could not believe how outrageous the price of pillows were so I went to wal mart and for like $4 a yard I got this cute silky cream fabric and did this shabby pleated pillow to add to my new bed makeover.  I love it!!!!
