$5 Kitchen makeover

I have been wanting to, lighten up my kitchen for awhile.  I saw a post on my sister's suite case.  She punched paper dots, and stuck them above her fire place.  I knew I couldn't use paper.  Who wants icky gross paper, stuck in the kitchen.  I found the contact paper at walmart for $5. I Knew it would work.  Next, I cut about 500+ circles on my cricut.  I figured it took about 3hrs, total to put up all the dots.  I decided to spray the electrical covers teal blue.  It was to much with everything white.  My kitchen is so fun now,  No more dark boring blah!!!  I really wanted a custom back splash and Granite.  Maybe in the next few years.  I do love the $5 transformation.  The best part is, at anytime I can pull the dots off.  

Seasonal Boards

Mio and I made the Hello board, for spring in april.  We made this star and stripe board, to replace our spring one.

Old jeans to skirts

My cute friend Mio came to craft.  We made her 2 skirts, from old jeans.  One skirt had an old skirt attached to the bottom.  The black lace was an old curtian.  They turned out darling.

wedding jars

My Sister in law got married 2 weeks ago.  With the help of my sister.  We put together these jars, to go on tables.  We also did this centerpiece.

changeable wreath

Shopping bag aprons and glam cups

We has some old neighbors, who's son passed away.   I made these for a benefit, to raise funds for this sweet family.  I wish I could have done more to help. Aren't these reusable shopping bag aprons darling?  I saw them on studio5.  I have them linked on pinterest also.  They link you to a tutorial on studio5.

re-vamped porch swing

My sweet neighbor gave us her old swing.  It did not have any cushions on it.  A little garage sale shopping,  and some leftover fabric.  I was able to make my own for only $1.75!

Drama Mama

My front room is now complete. I just finished adding a panel to my curtains. I wanted them floor to ceiling. Very dramatic! Don't you think?

Strange Bird

My grandma, has had this picture hanging in her home. I have always loved it!!! I knew it was the missing part to complete my front room makeover. I knew how special, this picture was to my grandma. It belonged to my great grandma, a friend had drawn it for her. It hung in their home, while my grandmother was growing up. My husband suprised me! he asked my grandma, if he could take a picture and make a print for me. I know the picture is a little risk-a. I love it, and It proudly hangs in my front room. It was the missing link. It has brought the whole room together.

Front room re-do almost done!!!

As you can see it is coming together. I just aquired another chair today! That I will redo.

The frame

I found this at the DI $6. Which is way more than, I would normally pay. I am cheap!!! It was to awsome to pass up. A little paint and she is beautiful. I am someday soon, I hope! Going to put a print or family picture in it, and hang it up!
