New Bedroom Art

I decided it was time to mix it up in the hubs and my bedroom. I had purchased some art work when we were first married, but I was ready for something new.

Here's the old art work:

I won a giveaway on a blog for a credit to the etsy shop of  Two Broads Design. They make all sorts of fun wedding things (chalk boards, favor bags, wedding dress hangers, etc...) I ended up choosing some small chalk boards that have two holes drilled in the top that can be used as tags. At first I thought I would use them as labels, but then I got the idea to make a pennant banner with them.

I love how it turned out!

The night stands are IKEA.
All the decorative pillows except for the cream 'fluffy' one I made myself.

The mirror was a Goodwill find that I painted black.

Awesome bench: My dad made this out of old barn boards a couple of Christmases ago.

I wrote little sayings that mean a lot to us or just general things to do with marriage.

***Update***

Here's the room with a couple of new lamps I found at Target. The bases were $6.75 and the burlap shades were $3.75!!!

Also,

Have you checked out my jewelry giveaway yet??

Mini Redo

Sometimes the littlest things can make such a big difference! I didn't really have a rug for my laundry room. I just used a bath mat. This didn't work very well because my laundry room is also the entry way in from the garage. A little bath mat was not enough for that space.

It also wasn't very heavy so it got pushed/kicked into a pile a lot. I went shopping at Kohl's this week because I had an additional 20% off sale prices coupon. I came across this beauty and it was love at first sight. I wasn't sure about the measurements, but it fits perfectly!

 

Love! It hasn't stayed this clean though. :) Eventually I'd like to paint the walls a blue or green.

Spray paint love

I've been working on spray painting  C.'c changing table for several weeks now. It's been either windy, humid, or raining so it's been hard to get it done. I've just been doing a coat every once and awhile on a nice day.

I miss my changing table. So I decided to bring it in today and I figured I'll finish later. This goes against everything in my type-A firstborn personality, but I really want to use it again. I can't believe at one point I thought I could just change all C's diapers on the floor. Yeah right. I mean, I could if I had to, but I'm pretty much a wimp and don't like to bend over.

Here's a before picture:

I like it, but I have a lot of white painted furniture in C.'s room so I thought it would go better in there if it was painted white. I also have some dark brown baskets that I thought would look really sharp up against the white.

(What is that in the backround, you ask? That would be another spray paint project that is also still in the garage, unfinished. I think we might need to get rid of a car to make room for my paint projects.) 

Here it is (mostly) finished! I love it!

Baskets for diapers, shorts and pants, and various baby implements. (Diaper rash creme, vaseline, bulb syringe, nail clippers etc..)

 Close up of baskets. (Don't look too closely at the paint job! :)

With some of the other furniture.

This was such a good project to use spray paint for. With all the spindles using a brush would have taken FOREVER. I love spray paint.
