Weekend Projects

Like I mentioned, we are slowly but surely working on that to-do list. Here are a couple of projects we will be attempting to finish over the long weekend.


I purchased this night stand from my sis-in-law for Lili's room. I loved the feminine detail :) I thought it'd look pretty in her room after I gave it a face lift.

Here it is after a couple of coats of light pink. The dresser to match in the background. I will get pics up when it's complete!


Our bookshelves have been a pretty major project! Mike built them himself using old bead board.
We painted this dusty blue straight onto the bead board. We did not sand the bead board, we wanted a very rough/distressed look. It is going to be the base coat for a technique I'm using to finish the shelves. I'm a little nervous about it but excited to try something new. Hope to finish it this weekend and I'll get some pics up.


This old shutter I found on the side of the road. Gotta love free stuff! I loved the distressed look of it. I put a couple of hooks on it and now it's functional again :)
