After working in the corporate world for seven years and having three small children I never really had time to tap into my creative side. Once I started I had to do it all!...until I ran out of steam. I did all of these things pretty much back to back and haven't touched anything DIY in probably a year, at least. :)
Recently our neighbors gave us their entire guest bedroom furniture for our girls to enjoy. The woman has had it for more that 30 years and gave me permission to "redo" the finish! I say I've had enough of a break to take on this new and exciting project. I will post progress hopefully in the near future. Here are some pics of what I accomplished during my DIY marathon...
No Sew Christmas Tree Skirt
I made and LOVE <3
Tutorial is from HGTV http://www.hgtv.com/handmade/how-to-make-a-no-sew-ruffled-christmas-tree-skirt/index.html. This project was pretty easy it is just time consuming, :)
Mason Jar Foam Soap Dispenser
My Daughters' Dresser
It was completely different before. I sanded it down, then painted, distressed and finally painted the knobs. This is probably my favorite piece. :)
Kitchen Table Transformation
I really don't have a tutorial for this one. I did a lot of research and compiled a couple different techniques. Most important lesson for this DIY was to prime the metal so all the hard work you do doesn't peel off when you kids decide to dig their nails into it. :)
Ew. This is what happens when you have toddlers, lots of them. :)
