Clean Sweep the Laundry Room

Moved EVERYTHING to the kitchen...

the kids art supplies

kitchen is cleaned up too...

$100 Craigslist

This dresser came with a very funky smell. It took MONTHS to air
out. A new fresh coat of paint and new knobs... it is not "Pottery Barn" but it is manufactured
from the same company who builds PB furniture.

After:

It also came with a very large mirror. Knobs are from Michaels' 2 for $1.00
Just like Pottery Barn

The art of manifesting

Sometimes I have this talent. Manifesting what I want and need. I first saw these chairs about 4 months ago at Ikea for $60 a piece. OUCH. I HAD to replace the chairs I painted. Wait, let me rephrase that. I had to replace the two chairs my husband painted. I won't go into details, but he now states that it was a good thing he messed up the paint job because I never would have searched out these beauties!4 chairs for $75

Before.

Work in progress but you get the gist?

I desperately needed a china cabinet. We have been storing my husband's grandmas china for about 4 years now. I found this at goodwill.

SOLD! $50

I really do not enjoy sanding

Ready for paint or stain?

I chose paint

It looked absolutely ridiculous in our dining room, so it's in the living room.

Ill be adding some red highlights and lighting to capture the pictures of my daughters inside..
added design paper to the back. Modge podged to foam board so I can remove them easily and change the colors accordingly!

Next up: antique glaze paint.

Princess chandelier

My inspiration:

This is our old dining room chandelier. I tried to get rid of it on CL with no interest. Then I saw the "princess chandeliers" on pottery barn kids. I used scrapbook paper and a boa from Michaels.
