Fun Furniture Makeover

Hello, there!  Did you all have a lovely weekend?  We hit some sales this weekend and managed to find a couple of treasures to take home.  We will show you our finds later this week. 

Today I am going to show you what my mom painted for me!!  My aunt recently gave me a nightstand that was in great condition.  I just wanted to change a few things to make it more "me".  It originally was white but needed a fresh coat of paint.  I also wanted to change the knob, and we found a few that we liked.  We finally picked this knob, cowgirl boot s are so cute!!  Then we both decided that it would be a good idea to paint the floral design that was a part of the nightstand.  We are so happy that we did.  I came home one day and my mom had already painted it!!  I love how she realized that the design on the inlay of the drawer looked like rope, so she painted that too!  It turned out so cute.  We hope that you like it too!

A finished project

A few years ago we saw a project on HGTV where one of the designers turned an old window into a picture frame.  We just loved it!  Ever since then we kept looking for the right window so we could make our own.  We came across one on Craigslist and finally got around to doing it (after having it for over a year...)!  We have seen other people who have also done this since then.  There are a lot of other neat ideas floating around out there.  Don't you just love when you finish a project that has been on the back burner for so long?!

Here it is...

This little elf looks as if she is thinking "Laura and Michele when are you going to finish this project?" Since we have had the window for quite some time!!  : )

P.S.  We passed the Goodwill today, had to stop in but no little elf friends in site...We will keep you posted!  : )

A Recent Project And A New Find

Hello, how was your Christmas and New Year celebration?  We had a wonderful Christmas!  We hope you all did as well.  Any resolutions?  Our resolution is to complete the many projects we have.  We started the New Year off right by finally painting our vintage dairy queen napkin holder.  We also finished painting our hutch, and we will show it later this week.  Another project is also in the works!

Before...

We wanted it to be pink so it would match our kitchen.  Plus we love pink!!

We are also very happy to have found this cute wagon to go with our tractor!!

Have a great week,

Laura and Michele
