coffee table

I got this beauty at the thrift store, 10 bucks so I couldn't pass it up I had a vision immediately and now it is just waiting for some chairs in my sitting area in my bedroom can't wait until the whole thing comes together.

I love the way it looks and adds some more brightness to the room!

refashion.

found this piece of work from the thrift store....(its Banana Republic looked brand new) I thought it was a dress, turns out it was a trench coat that is the same material as a dress shirt, weird I know but I saw its potential. ( and I purposely cut off my face because I had been to the pool that day and boy did I look scary!)

I took in the shoulders and added a military thing to them took in the dress about 10 sizes and then sewed up the front because the buttons stopped at the crotch area...not a good look I promise!!! I think it turned out pretty cute!!!

I had this pair of jeans (boot cut) sitting in my closed, not my favorite pair so they always just got overlooked... So I turned them inside out marked where I would need to sew all the way down on both sides and they made the cutest skinny jeans!!! now probably my favorite pair!

new hair color

oh and I got my hair done.... and when I say I got my hair done I mean I did it myself. lightened it just a bit... I like it!

Grant and Lincoln's room

My vision is not quite finished yet but I am nice enough to let you see the unfinished product since I know it will be quite a while until its done. I found the vintage comic tins at an Antique Mall and my mom bought the boys the big G and L from Joanne's. Grant's bed is refinished from craigslist and Lincoln has one in storage painted the same way one day there will be a really cool rug, canopy's above both beds and the dresser cut down to a better height with some lamps and some cute pics with a really cool mirror..... are you envisioning with me? Good.

bought this lamp from the thrift store for probable 2.50 and then I made this super cute shade out of sheets of wax paper that I ironed together and then cut out and sewed.......took many many nights but makes me happy!
This is made from random scrapbook paper and a foam wreath I just scrunched and hot glued, the beads are mardi gra beads that i spray painted so I could hang this beauty on the back of a dining room chair!

some stuff

Here are some fun things I have been working on...

My Mom loves cupcakes so I made this for her to hang in her Kitchen it turned out so bright and cheery

I bought the frame from Wal-Mart painted and antiqued it , added a sparkly scrapbook paper for the background and then stenciled on the KEEP calm eat a cupcake.

I found this old table on the side of the road.... and I had a vision flash before my eyes at how beautiful it could be...

VOILA!!! Isn't it lovely!!!
