The first project I've conquered this year, is the beginning of lovely lady #1's bedroom. As I said in my previous post I was going with an around the world theme. And even with our very low budget, the room is coming along very nicely! Unfortunately we've had some computer and health problems over the past few weeks so it kept me away from blogging about and finishing my project but I have to say I am tickled pink (or green) about this first makeover! One of the first big pieces of her room was her dresser! I LOVE the dresser in her room which was given to us years ago by my mother in law. It was nothing fancy, just plain off white and pretty boring, but it hold SO MUCH! The drawers are super deep so I never had to worry about stuffing them full and barely being able to close it like some of the other dressers in our home. But again, nothing fancy and quite frankly Very boring. So I decided that was one of the first things that needed a little sprucing. I've seen the new ombre inspired dresser looks all over pinterest lately. Its where you take a paint swatch and paint each drawer a different shade of whatever color on the swatch. Super cute! So I spent an hour going through hundreds of swatches and finally decided on a shade of green that I really liked. After work I ran to the paint store picked up my paint and got right to work, I could not wait to see the final product! As usual my lack of patience got the best of me and I ended up having to do many things over but in the end it looked Ahhhhmazing! It was still missing something though, I wanted it to have more of an around the world look and feel to it so I decided to label the dresser (1.underwear and socks 2. pajamas 3.shirts 4.pants) in french! And I L*O*V*E it!!! I can't even contain my excitement right now for the grand reveal!
not officially say that I am addicted to this whole remodeling of furniture thing! So my current project (aside from completing and revealing around the world themed room) is this enourmous not so beautifully crafted piece of craziness.....
Other then that the rest of the month is pretty busy. Lovely Lady # 2 is celebrating her 6th birthday on the 31st! And apparently so are many other people we know! We have tons of parties coming up! She is requesting a snow cone cake so we'll see what I can come up with!
Hope everyone is staying warm!!!
