Studded shoes

I had some pretty ugly pumps that I was going to give away, but figured I could make them look different from some pinterest ideas!

This took me about 25 minutes, used some fabric glue and got some studs from Jo Anns, and a bow!

I really love how these shoes transformed and can't wait to wear them with some skinny jeans and for the holidays!

DIY Shoes

I got these really cute kate Spade shoes, but they are very uncomfortable and it gave me the idea of making some Old Navy wedges I got on sale for $12. They were very blah so I gave them a lift! :)

Total: $20

Barnwood Sign

I pinned this a while back and absolutely loved it since we do have such a great "meant to be story" our story I knew I could make it a lot cheaper than what I have seen some sold for! 

I found some 2x4 in the garage, stained it, sanded, stained again, and beat the crap out of the wood! I ended up ordering vinyl since I hate my handwriting and was very inexpensive to order, plus this lady is awesome!! I have ordered a few mongram items, gifts, etc and she is so quick and easy to work with!! http://www.etsy.com/shop/glassden 

size: 30x30

total cost: $15

Can't wait to hang this in our home!!

Louis "French" Chair

I loved cheetah french chairs and really really wanted one for my desk, make up area...We had a huge warehouse 10,000+ where my family has always upholstered and my uncle actually had this chair in the back, man do I wish I had a picture of it before! It was so ugly and was just wood (like picture, so it came a long way!!)

My uncle gave me the chair for free, and I used fabrics leftover from some of his jobs, so only had to pay for the spray paint of $8 !! Not bad for a pretty cool chair!!

I am planning on changing out the hot pink seat to all cheetah over the off season..

Total Cost: $8 !! 

Ottoman

This is one of my all time favorite pieces I have done!! I wanted something so girly (before I took Jake into consideration) NO PINK DOWNSTAIRS in our new place.. haha 

I ended up buying the store model of a ottoman at Pottery Barn that was just dirty, and nothing too special for a steal, and ended up reupholstering it, and painting the legs! I have brought this with us for the season to make our place feel more like home, and I must say ALL the boys love it (no lie)

home #2

home #3

This took about 8 hours to reupholster, the removing of fabric and getting all the staples out was definitly time consuming and painful! 


I can't remember cost of this, but priceless to me!! :) If I have a girl one day will be perfect in the nursery, or my dressing room! 

Z Gallerie Cuddler Chair

This was a project I did a while back when moving into my new place in college! I wanted something that was really comfortable and different than just your typical love seat. Z Gallerie is one of my favorite furniture stores, but wasn't willing to pay $900 for a blah chair so my dad said " We can build that!" Sure enough he just sat in it and measured on his body how deep we wanted it, and built it from scratch!!

At the time I was really into zebra, and black but I did it so the cushion are reversible to all black and can change out the pillows when I want. This will be going into our den and will be perfect for kiddies I won't have a heart attack if something happens to it! This is such a comfortable chair, one of Jake's favorites! He used to sleep on it all the time!!

Took about 15-20 hours to build, but the memories are forever with my dad!

Barstools

DIY Barstools

I really wanted something fun and different for our kitchen barstools, first I didn't have a lot of money to spend, and secondly I couldn't find anything I liked. 

I went to pick up patio furniture and they were moving so said if saw anything else make them an offer, I got all 3 barstools for $30! I was excited about them because I had just purchased two barstools (exact ones for $60 from Walmart) agh --RETURNED!

A little sanding, spray paint, sanding, paint, seat cushion, and upholstered!

I used foam leftover from another project, and got some fun fabric! I am so excited for these in our new place!
