Cheap table makeover!

I've totally been slacking in the DIY department, but today for some reason I had a extra burst of energy, even while fighting a cold!

We have these little tables in the garage we use to use as our night stands. My husband bought them while we were dating to show off his design skills! While I applaus his effort, I couldn't wait to change them out (Shhhhh don't tell him!)

Even though I'm not in love with them, I hate to see any piece of furniture go to waste!!

So it's makeover time!!

It was a very easy, quick projecwt that didn't cost any money since I already had everything! Sorry this isn't a tutorial, but since your all are DIY pros I know you will totally understand how simple it was!

I first used a light coat or two of black spray paint, while it dried, I traced the top of the table with the fabric and cut it into a circle, I wanted to Mod Podge the fabric to the table, but didn't have enough so my trusty glue gun did the trick! Lastly with a hammer I placed my gold thumb tacks around the edge of the table! And...

Voila!! It was that easy! I love the outcome!









Now I just gotta find the extra energy to do the second one!!

Hope you enjoyed and had a wonderful day!!!

Do over, re-do!

Do you remember the curtain I stenciled a while back? 

If you don't, take a look here!

I really liked the finished product, but I under estimated how hard it was going to be and only got around to doing one! 

Huge FAIL!! So since I only had one side done,  I had no choice but to get new curtains and the one finished curtain was put in the back of the closet!

Ok, NOW do you remember the ottoman makeover? Here is a little refresher!


I loved the way it came out, unfortunately, with a toddler it didn't last very long! Maybe I choose the wrong type of fabric because spot cleaning was kind of impossible! The blue would bled onto the white and it ended up looking a mess!

Now to the whole point of the story...

Tonight I was a little bored, and sitting on the couch looking at my horrible ottoman and thought something has to be done about this! I went in my closet in search of fabric I could use and pulled out the one stenciled curtain!!

Totally had an light bulb moment!

It came out perfect! 





Even failures can turn out to be success stories! 

Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!!

I'll be partying here this week

Reveal Wednesday: Living room


This post was actually suppose to be up Tuesday, I'm sorry, I ended up helping my husband all day at his shop!

But better late than never...right!?

As you know, I entered the Imagine the Impossibilities challenge! Unfortunately it turned out to be a major fail! I got nothing accomplished in my master bedroom as planned! * BIG SAD FACE*

However, today I'm going to give you a mini tour of my living room! It is still a big work in progress, but I think it's coming along! For some reason found it much easier to work on the living room than in the master! I have a clear vision of the look I'm going for! 

First, here is the the bedroom again :(



Nothing special is going on in there right now!

Now here is the living room that I have been working on instead!






I still have a long list of things I need to do:

Finish shade in dining room
new drapes for living area
new rug
art work 
mantel
I could go on and on...But I'm liking the ways things are turning out!!

Hope everyone enjoys their hump day!!
