Projects

So lately I have been inspired to do some crafty things. I have so many projects I want to do and I cannot wait to do them! I have a super crafty sister who has inspired me and I follow a TON of blogs that give great ideas for refinishing furniture and other crafty things. Then, Pinterest came along and I can't stop looking at it! I just love all the ideas! Call me an idea stealer, but hey I need all the help I can get!

Anyway, my first project was obviously my comforter that I made! And now that I have that, I just want to do more and more to make my room/house just the way I want it. Unfortunately it takes time, but eventually I will have the room of my dreams. (and the house) I Can't wait. In the meantime, I have done a couple of other things.

The first is very simple and something that I should have thought of a million years ago. Because I know this isn't a new discovery! I bought a curtain rod, some shower hooks and.... Voilá, I have a very convenient way to hang up my necklaces. I am in the process of working on something for all my earrings :)

Before they were just shoved between two different jewelry boxes and were all tangled and I just didn't want to deal with them. Now, I put my shirt on...turn around and can easily pick one. Like I said, it's simple, but I love it.

The next project I did is in my bathroom. I have these wonderful shelves that go behind/above the toilet. My sister-in-law Taytum gave them to us and I love them. They are so nice, especially since space is limited in our bathroom, but mostly they are just too cute.

Before:
After:

Again, just simple. But it brings it to life, and I love it. The green matches my shower curtain perfectly!


These are my next projects:
I can't wait to refinish this hutch for the kitchen. It's going to be beautiful! I already love this hutch so much (also given to us by Taytum, she rocks!) I can't wait to get it finished.

And I have two of these little beauties. New nightstands! Breezy got them for me for freeeeeeee, I love free. I am soooo excited to redo these little guys! They are going to be perfect for my bedroom!


I'm sure it will be awhile before they are all finished, but I will be sure to post pictures when they are. :)

I CAN'T WAIT! It's so fun!

  2. I read this a while ago but I just wanted to say that is such a clever idea for your necklaces! It's so simple and easy, I can't believe I haven't heard of it before. I am going to do this for my necklaces - it's so genius! But I want to know what you're doing for your earrings..?
