Mother's Day

Time to start thinking of  Mother's Day.  This saying is so sweet I decided to make it into decor.   The best part is that it's customizable.  Choose Your Colors and change the saying.  Whatever you want.

old bar stool

I got this ugly old bar stool at D.I. for $3. It was kind of hard to vision it ever being cute, but I decided to give it a try. It ended up being a fast and easy project. Here's what I did:

• Cut 3 inches off the legs so it was the perfect height for my bar (my husband did this) 
• Painted it white
• Covered the seat with cute fabric- I used staples and hot glue to get it to fold under tight
• Distressed the edges with sand paper
• Hot glued felt to the bottoms so it won't scratch the floor 

Personalized Easter Buckets

old shelf- kids play kitchen

I've been wanting to make my son a play kitchen for a while now, and its finally done! It took a little longer than I had thought, but it so worth it. It was so fun to let my 3 year-old help. Also, my husband was great to help whenever I needed it. 

I started with an old shelf that was in the garage and not getting much use. (You could easily find an old shelf at D.I.) 

 

The first thing I did was paint it. I used some left over paint from our kitchen so it is actually the same color as our kitchen and won't bug me if it goes in our kitchen, since they match.

Then I traced a bowl upside down and had my handy husband cut a circle just a tiny bit smaller than my lines. This is for the sink. I bought one piece of bead board to use as the backing, and also the 2 doors. The bead board was $10 and I still have a big piece left over.

 

I spray painted the two doors. One is black for the oven, and the other is grey for the fridge. (Radley wanted the fridge grey like mine, and the oven black like mine) I painted a square board green for the stove top and glued 4 wood circles on top. The stove top can be taken off and put in the cupboard for more counter space. It is not stuck on.

 I also found a light weight wood shelf to hang above the sink. :) 

 I may still do a faucet if a cheap one comes along.

 Inside the oven,  I hung 2 cooling racks and put a push on/off light inside so he can turn on the light and see if the cupcakes are done. :)
