Crafty

I've been getting crafty around the house lately & thought I would post some of my recent projects.

1. Made Ice Wreaths

All of our recent icy-ness led us to this quick & easy project.

I stuck with a simple Valentine theme...

 

While Savannah went on a backyard treasure hunt & filled hers with berries, leaves, and a few bits of trash!

 

2. Painted desks

Will's chose orange...

 

And Savannah chose ocean.

 

3. Made a Family Growth Chart.

I went to Lowe's & bought a pre-painted molding strip for $3 & a keychain tape measure for $2. I used my gluegun to adhere the tape measure & pulled out the kids' pediatrician records to mark their annual heights.

So fun to see how they compare through the years & nice that we can take it with us if we ever move.

 

 

4. Installed a ceiling fan

 

5. Hung easy-to-change pictures on a curtain rod above my computer

 

6. Cheered up the kitchen sink window

I picked up 4 of these cute hammered antique spoons on Etsy & stuck them in my herb pots.

 

 

I snagged some oil cloth & changed out the fabric on my boring white roller shade. I also added a little glass pull & picked up some ceramic birdies. I found a vintage glass light globe on Etsy, painted my old light fixture pink, and attached a medallion to the ceiling.

So much happier!

 

I couldn't resist using my leftover spray paint & oil cloth to coordinate the basket & shoe shelf next to our back door.

 

And, I bought the same oil cloth in orange to spice up the breakfast table.

 

Fun, quick, easy & cheap!
