Baby Formula can redo

I did these about 3 years ago, by cutting each letter out with my cricut (the very first model) and mod podged each letter on.  Oh, if I had only had a vinyl connection back then.... I would have saved a lot of mess and sticky fingers! 

Every time we had an empty formula can, I would save it, and think, "I can do something with this someday".  Yes, yes, I know, that is how hoarders start out, but, at least I did do something with each one.  I finally had enough to fill one shelf, then I bought another and was scared that I wouldn't have enough to fill the next.  Luckily, we kept my daughter on formula an extra month, for the transition and so that I could have the last container for my shelves.

Sneak Peek of Master Re-Do

Things are FOREVER changing around here, and finally my husband is getting used to it!

Usually I am happy with a project until I see something I want to add ot tweak a little, but in this case, I have HATED this wall color since the second we put it on (6 years ago!).  But I was 7 months pregnant, and decided to settle and unfortunately I never re-did it, because I was focusing on the kids rooms.

Until this weekend!! (WooHoo!), all sports were cancelled and therefore we had a full day of no plans, so I took over and decided we finally paint the wall that I have always hated so much!

Now I know you can hardly tell a difference, but believe me there is.  The old paint had a very red base, and the brown was a very orange-ish color in the sunlight.  The new paint has more of a green base and doesn't clash so much with the red in the furniture.

(Before:  reddish brown, patched up holes, just blah)

(After: greenish brown, no more patches, and gold shimmer decals)

I was finally able to put on the damask decor!  I didn't want to over do it because the comforter has a lot of gold, but I am actually very happy with the turnout.

I will post pics of the rest of the room as I finish it, I have a couple of to add.  But I am so happy to say I finally am very happy going to bed now, I just LOVE it!

Table and Chair Re-do

I love that I can find something at a yard sale and see the potential in what it can be, my husband doesn't like that so much, ha! 

When I came across this table, I knew that with a little paint, we could make it work with a couple of chairs that we already had.

So I sanded and painted, added a little vinyl to make it a game board and viola, we have great furniture and a new gameboard for the kids to play!
