Craft Projects

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

  2. 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.
