Coffee Filter Wreath

So I have been seeing wreaths made different ways on different blogs that I read. One that I liked was with coffee filters. I decided to make one for myself. I bought the coffee filters at Target, pins at WalMart and the wreath my friend gave me! The ribbon was left over off a pair of pj's I bought. :)


I used about 100 filters.


For now I have it on the inside of my front door! I love it!

Dining Room makeover

I am happy to say that we are finally done with our dining room makeover!! It looks so much better! I only wish we had done it sooner! I love looking at it! here are a few pictures.


We also spray painted the mirror and the frames on both sides of the mirror. Love them all black.



I didn't get a great picture of it before I put my table back but I will try to take one. Overall it's such a huge difference and so much brighter!!!

Better After

So we are still not done with the dining room but I'll show you what is done, the ceiling!
Before

After with the new ceiling fan up!! I love this fan!!


I also tried to spray paint a few items the other day. I did a horrible job. Here is a before of a metal star I bought a few years back. I had planned to cover it with scrapbook paper when I bought it but that never happened. By the way, I got this on clearance for around $2.

This is a better picture showing the color of it.

And now after. I asked Joe if we could sand off the brown that I sprayed on and he brought it in like this. What do you think?? I think it might be distressed a little too much??


That's all I have for now. Enjoy the rest of your week!

My garage sale finds!

This morning on my way to get a pedicure there was a sign for a yard sale just two streets up. I decided to stop and I'm glad I did. I got Daniel some stuff for cheap! I found this bike for $3!!

It's a little big but I couldn't pass it up. I also got 2 kids chairs for $5. They are folding chairs perfect for camping. I also 3 hats, a pair of shorts and a button up shirt all for $1.25! They are all name brands! I was so excited! Wish I had more time this morning to stop at others!! I am going to make some time soon to go out garage saling!
Enjoy your Saturday!

May Challenge lo!

So this month we are challenging you to scrap outside of your box, do something different. I had to think about it for a little while but here is what I came up with.


I tend to scrapbook using one brand of paper because I always want my papers to coordinate. SO I challenged myself to use three different brands of paper and no card stock. I still managed to pick papers that went together very well. I used old Li'l Davis designs, 3 Bugs in a Rug and Making Memories. I also used a variety of embellishments on this page. I really like the way it turned out. These pictures were taken by my very talented friend Michelle Lanning.

So come on over to Scrap Our Stash and play along this month!
