The boys bedroom redo

I found these ugly brass headboard on Craigs List and spray painted them black.
I finally got all their artwork framed as well as some of their favorite posters,
Brody and I found some pirate decals that I let him decorate his wall with.
The 2 frames above the dresser personalizing their side of the room.
The boys were done with the bunk beds and to be honest so was I. It was nearly impossible to properly say goodnight to the boys each night without killing yourself climbing up to the top bunk or bending over so low for the bottom bunk. I went on a search for 2 metal headboards and found them on Craig's List, then I finally hung all their artwork above the rail and hung the posters below. I ended up using the bed risers so we could put rolling drawers underneath holding each of their favorite toys. I painted the wood letters and hung their names above their beds too. I think we are all much happier with the transformation.

Birthday Journal





This is a really cute journal I made for my friend Jen for her birthday. I found an unlined kraft paged journal and I embellished it with ephemera, ribbons, twine, stamps, a pencil, a feather, vintage buttons.

Craft Night

I made special bags for each of my girlfriends to take home with them. The reusable bags were filled with pin cushions, threads, decorative pins, tulle and personalized tags! It was so much fun.

I decided to invite my girlfriends over for a "craft night". We had so much fun crafting and drinking wine that I didn't take any action shots of the night. I had one friend Julie scrapbooking, Elena crocheting, Sherry sewing, Ashley making a canvas wall art and Racquel made some seasonal napkin rings.
