{Paint matching tip}

I have been painting and helping paint interior of homes for a long long time! I have never been able to get paint matching perfect from any other place except through my HomeDepot. I would recommend them for all paint and ecpecially paint matching.

{Fabulous pantry orginizing tip}

Look at this fabulous idea for pantrys and cupboards:

Store serving trays, platters, and cutting boards with tension curtain rods to prevent tumbles and spills. ( the rods are judt the curtain rods that have the rubber stopper on the ends) Fabulous huh!?
Thank you to Marth Stewart!

The Bench almost done!

This is what the semi-done bench looks like. I still would like to add some feet and molding etc. but I started a full semester, and am in the process of packing because we are moving next month. So, this will be a work in progress, and will end up taking longer than expected. I do like it so far though...

Bench update

This is probably step 4 of 10. I still have to put the seat on the top and some trim on the inside etc. I am doing a quick primer now so that the wood will not suck up a lot of pain when i paint it the actual color i want it to be. It might seem like i am doing it a little backwords but....well i kind of am but it will be ok :)

Shelf Update...

After some much needed muscle building from all the hand sawing i did ( with the help of my handsome husband)and also some help from our handy Mr. Black & Decker electric screwdriver.... Here is how it looks so far.
I filled in the holes (from the screws) with putty a few minutes ago, and then i have to primer it and pain it :) Yay!!! And yes I will post pictures as the process takes place. See ya soon!

Window Seat/Storage

Ok, so I am a little nervous about my new latest and greatest design. I have come up with a really cute seat similar to the one below (I didn't want to post up my drawings because they are a bit hard to read) so thanks to Overstock.com I have this picture to show you instead. I am going to attampt to make this in one night. Do you think I can do it? I really really hope so, I was thinking of calling in some help, but my supportive husband said he believes in me and I can do it! And he will help me if I need it :)
I will post pictures of the whole process as it happens.

Door Hanger

This is just a simple peice of wood painted and you can either add vinyl letters for the words or even stencil on the words. One side says asleep, and the other side says awake.I hope you make one, and Have Fun!! I am going to make one for my daughters room but that is another post :)

Cupboard Door Makeover!

I strated out with a cupboard door like this one:

I then painted it and crackled it...


I purchased this cute hook at my favorite craft store on clearance for $2.00


I made this tassel and hung it here to add some more decration to the piece.

Frames

I purchased these Ikea frames at a garage sale for $3.00 for all 3 of them! Yes, I was screaming for joy when I saw how cheap they were :)

I painted them black as you can see above.

And with a some more paint, stamps and stencils I ended up with these cute frames:
