Weekend Quick Change

Sooooo, the idea of a weekend quick change seemed like something I could give a bi-monthly commitment. Instead of twice a month, I seem to be unlazy every 2 months.. I'll get better.

Anywho, this one is the result a 5 hour nap in the middle of the day. I wanted to jazz up #1 an Ikea Malm nightstand, and #2 a thrift store mirror (more on that later).   Also, I purchased a pagoda from O'verlays last year and just plain wanted to use it!!

Armed with a love for spray paint and lots of half empty cans.. this project seemed like just the thing get rid of 3 or so of those cans.

Here are the befores:

The nightstand

Weekend Quick Change

There are so many things I could be doing.....instead I changed something that wasn't really broken. In fact, I changed something that was already not in its original state.

Ikea Billy Bookcase, Medium Brown

Longhorn Swag-ier

So a while ago, I posted about this longhorn from CardboardSafari.com

Longhorn Swag

I've been obsessing about this for several months now.

Visit cardboardsafari.com for more awesome animals.  I'm trying to work the moose and deer into something around this house also!

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself

This is me, blowing the dust off of my blog.

*insert exaggerated breathy blowing here*

I'll be posting some before and after shots of furniture projects in the coming days. My technique was rusty. One day I'll blog about the mirror I made, unmade, hung, took down, then took apart, only to use a store bought one.

Now, I'm back in stride again! *cue Frankie Beverly*.

Im finishing up a nightstand I can't wait to photograph.

See you soon
