For years I have been wanting to work on some bigger projects that I have seen on Pinterest. But since our moving schedule has always been unknown, I've put them off. So now I've finally been able to get some done. Can't say I want to pick up another paint brush for a while though. Sidney needed a new bed, and we found a good deal on this bunk bed on Craig's List, so we figured an extra place to sleep wouldn't hurt for future visitors. It was covered in marker, crayons, and stickers, but with a bucket of paint, it's looks pretty good now. Just don't look too closely.
I also painted her dresser to match. I'm debating putting something on the doors to make it cuter. Don't mind the mess. I gave up trying to remember to take pictures when the room was clean.
We also bought the book shelf on Craig's List. She really wanted it to be pink. I also have a chair for her desk I'm going to paint pink and recover to match.
I have really wanted something cute to put up Christmas cards on, instead of just taping them to the door, so I came up with this. I saw something on Pinterest that was close to what I wanted, but I like mine better. It just sat on the floor this year, but hopefully Josh and I are going to make an entry way table soon, and next year it will have a proper place to sit. And I'm not sure if less people are sending out cards, or if we moved and no one has our address, but where are the cards people? I might need to add on to it next year, it's almost too small.
