bedroom

These night stands were my parents that they had for over 20+ years, and I knew they would be perfect in our bedroom so I redid these, and found this dresser at a thrift store. I started to sanded, more sanding...painted and added knobs! This took me about a week to finish everything and a couple coats of paint!


The key to getting a slick finished piece is using a spray gun. I have not used spray paint on these pieces. The spray gun makes it very easy to paint any type of furniture and different woods.


Dresser-$50
Knobs-$2.50 each

Nightstand-free
knobs-$2.50 each
paint-$100 but I used this on 7 pieces of furniture.

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!!

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!
