Thifted shelf makeover

I have been meaning to share this little shelf for a while. I bought this shelf at the Good Will about 3 years ago?? I bought it to redo for Daniel's room. In the meantime we bought him two larger shelves at Ikea so he didn't really need this in his room so I decided to use it in Lauren's room.
Here are the before pictures

I couldn't pass it up at only $2.99 and I am glad I didn't.

The first thing I had Joe do is sand it for me. I am horrible at sanding so he did that part. Next I primed it and then paint it with the leftover pink paint we had from Lauren's room.  The little hooks were hard for me to paint. I guess you can't really see them anyway.  I got the "L" before Lauren was born and didn't really have a purpose for it so I thought I could use it here. The only thing is I feel like it limits what I can put on it. So for now here is what I have on it.

Lauren does not have a lot of closet space or dresser space so this is perfect for her jackets. The little owl hook I found at Target in the Dollar section although it was like $2.50 I think. I wasn't sure if it was ok here but it will do.

Halloween Banner and Mantle

I quickly made a banner tonight. I saw this idea on Pinterest. While at Home Depot last week I remembered that I wanted some orange paint chips for a project. I thought it was made with paint chips but once I checked it tonight I realized it was wooden. Oh well I still made it work and they aren't exactly the color of candy corns but close enough. I have been making seasonal cut outs to clip on some twine on our dining room mirror and it still had summer on it.

My supplies

And after

Now my mantle is complete!

That's all for tonight! Good night! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

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!
