A good Start

So I forgot to take a picture of the BEFORE so the picture above will have to do...but I think it will at least give you an idea of what my night stand looked like before.  The problem with this bedroom set is, it is a vanier.  So I really had to make sure it was primed right!  But IT WORKED!!  and here is the finished night stand.

A Sneak Peak at my Daughters Room

This is her room before...

And below is a start of the NEW room....you could call it my idea of shabby chic.

 I decided to redo my daughters room mainly because I have had so much fun finding old CHEAP furniture and redoing it!!  I love how it all turns out too!  

Sorry I don't have before pictures on all of them.

After

 I actually found this piece at the DI Thrift store for $7 .... this is the piece that started all the refinishing!

This was my great grandma's head board... I just white washed it...I LOVE IT it is so beautiful and just what the room needs.

I think there needs to be this picture in there too...and possibly a real one too!!  That is if I can convince the husband that his 2 year old daughter needs a chandelier in her room...I don't think my odds are very good.  HA HA

Rocking Chair REDO!!

I was given this cute wood rocking chair for my little one! She thinks it must be in the family room. So I made it match!

After

I just love how it turned out! Actually it was really easy too! I first sanded it down lightly. I then applied 2 applications of Kilz White Primer EVERYWHERE!! I sanded the edges and smoothed out the spray paint, rubbed my stain on everywhere! Wiped it off and let it sit and dry. Once dry I sanded it again to give it more of a vintage look! And HERE IT IS SO CUTE!!

Closet Redo

I have SMALL closets in my kiddos rooms, so we have to make the most of them right?

I found this at Home Depot for $85

But I needed 2 closets done which gets a little pricey, so my brother and I made our own!

Before

After

I was able to do my 2 closets for $45 bucks!!

Without toys-
With all the princesses toys-

I made the black boxes too! The front and back are Bead Board and the sides are 1/4 inch press board!

Table Makeover

Hooray my table is DONE!! It was so much fun to do. Now instead of being a sore spot it is a highlight! For the top I striped off the polyurethane and applied 2 coats of a darker stain. For the pedestal I spray painted it with Kilz, sanded it, and stained over the top!!
