Better After...

I love to refinish things, I found a cool site that features other projects which is great for ideas. Check it out! Here is a before and after of an old bar, super cute. They have an awesome TV stand too that is cute after. I am always looking for the next project to refinish. Since we are having our sale, date is TBD early Oct., I am obsessed at finding things. I have a beauty in my garage right now, it will be so cool after I am done but right now it is a true lemon. I love to find the beauty in things.

Canvas Love!



I love canvas prints. I found a site online called Canvas Love, they have very reasonable canvas prints. The pricing is set up to show the canvas only or you can choose to have them wrap it which I highly suggest. I have one of my son Grant and I love it! Check it out!

Neat Products

I found this while shopping around today, this company creates unique shaped photos printed on metal. I thought they were cute. I might have to try this! The company is called Black River Imaging;

Dress up your front door for summer

 
Here is a simple way to dress up your front door for summer. Take a pot of dirt, plant grass seed and grow. I added a cute pinwheel from the dollar section at Target and done. My 2 year old son loves the pinwheels. It just adds a little summer to your front porch.

A new project...
















My husband and I have started a new little side project. We are going to start to make custom frames. I have two simple examples here, we plan on creating more ornate shaped frames in tons of fun colors. I am still waiting for my templates to arrive so we can start to create the neat shapes. The frames are made out of piece of wood, painted, worn and stained. They are really fun. We started this because I am addicted to buying frames and if you have been to my house you know I am obsessed with photos of my son. I used to do photography but it was a ton of work and took away from my family on the weekend. We decided to start making frames to feature the awesome work that photographers do. I will keep you posted once I get the new frames made and show the rainbow of colors these frames will come in.
