Alrighty Molly,  
I don't know how to login to the craft blog.  How do I do it?
I was really trying to be a contributor...honest.  
So, to check it off my list I am posting it here.
Some little freshening up that has taken place round here the last year.


The BEFORE

library resale arm chair with old pillows and scary wreath.

New BOOK WREATH

(Thank you Kristina for letting me glean from your genius)

Isn't my thermostat behind it so attractive?  A warm and cozy 73 degrees.

I think I had chips of wood way down in my lungs after sanding, see those snow flake looking things.  Those are NOT snow flakes.  

Here is the table before, and the table sanded which actually took me a good amount of time....felt like forever.  I had no idea sanding was such a feat...... if I had I probably wouldn't have re-vamped them. 

 It took me about 3 hours per table to sand them down.

I shabby chic-ed the little guys with white then enameled them so when my boys crash their cars into them I wont cringe.

Alrighty, this is loooong overdue.

This is my boys room almost one whole year ago.

I used my Christmas money to redecorate it

Here's the before:

Another before shot:

Here's the after

Yes, I do have a pillow addiction!  And I love love this fabric!  So boyish but not lame-o

cute fabric makes me ridiculously happy

Speaking of fabric, Haley called me and told me she had a genius idea for Gift wrapping for Christmas.  

She is right: it is genius.  

She is making drawstring bags with big vibrant satin drawstrings and simply plopping the present right in them.  Wrapping, check.  No paper, no bows, no scissors.  

We immediately went to the fabric store and bought up Christmas fabric to make minions of these little bags.  THANK.  YOU.  to the world BEST mother in law.

And Corbyn's shelf of course.  Go LEGO's!
