My recent fun projects I loved enough to blog about

I Know!! Epic FAIL I didn't take before pics! :( But I love this remake on these two! I found the fabric at Savers for 6 bucks, the little guy was 10 at a thrift store, the big one was ours and needed a makeover and the chair was 6 bucks! So very Thrifty I might add!

 And again... No Before pics... and this dresser was AWEFUL!!! But with paint and new knobs a new creation!


Okay so I am finally getting it!!! Before pics




I wanted a bird bath but they are expensive so I shopped around at thrift stores and no bird bath so.... I found a bowl (cool green wood) and I don't know what that other part is but it was the hieght I needed, both at goodwill for 11 bucks
I used the screw from the tall part and drilled a hole and secured it with some clear adhesive for a little more stability
and then I planted succulants in it!!! YAY!!!! I really love this one!

 I am currently working on the stairs going up to our room.... I will blog as soon as I am done. PROGRESSS!!!

I promised some True do it yourself projects on here so I thought I would start with the first project we did!! The Laundry Room!

Here is the Before Picture!!!


I was so thrilled to have such a great space for one that it didn't matter that it was so Blah!

First we Painted and Tiled the floor...
 The Tile pattern was just something I saw at Lowes so we tried to duplicate it and it is great!

Then we added a few pieces that really made it pop!

 
And the finished product!

 
That's all I have for now!
