Craft Projects

by Brittany on September 2, 2009

When we moved from our little apartment into our townhouse I got crafty. I mean with all our room and no T.V. what’s a girl to do? Answer: CRAFTS!! :)

Here are a just a few I’ve been working on the last couple of months.

This is our $25 Craig’s list dresser (give or take a few drawers that were being painted). I wanna say it was made around the 1940′s?

The knobs before I spray painted them.

The finished product. I love it!! It seriously looks so much better.

Another project I did I found on a craft blog (love those!) Our landlord left a bunch of plain lamps and said we could have them. I went and bought a new lamp shade, printed off a silhouette and traced it on the lamp shade with a black SHARPIE. I know….how cool is that.  (I did two of them and also painted our night stands black to match the dresser.)

This is another thing our landlord left behind. I decided to paint a castle on the side and buy baskets for the shelfs. It fits perfectly into Hallie’s room.

So far I am very happy with how all my projects have turned out. I have SOO many more to finish. I’m sure Ben wishes I would hurry up already because they have taken over our dining room. haha

Wow! That is so impressive. I wish I lived by you so you could teach me all your cool crafts. Looks like your having fun with it.

Wow! I’m so impressed! I wish I could do that, I would’ve looked at that dresser and just passed it up, I’m not one to see the potential in things. I want the dresser and lamp in my bedroom! Great job.

I love that lamp!! I hope I can get into re-doing furniture someday, but right now I have no room. They look SO good!
