Cute Burlap Frame

 So like I mentioned, I had a cute project that I did recently and have to share!

This was a piece that my mother in law gave to me, and as you can see, it's a little outdated. The frame was originally a tuscan gold color, but I painted it and then hung it on the wall, trying to get inspiration on what to do with it.

 So I'm gonna show you what I did with it, step by step!

Here's our supplies

I wrapped the batting around the picture and stapled it with my handy dandy stapler!

Repeated the process again, this time with my Burlap I got from Joann's

Here's the now covered tiger! PHEW!

This is our initial for our last name, which I hot glued to the burlap

Here's the finished product, above my STILL UNtouched buffet! Still trying to get inspiration for this

area, it's coming along though :)

 And just in case you forgot what that little nook area looked like...

New New New!

Hey guys! I am SOOO super excited to present my new domain to you-


http://www.iheartmygluegun.com

  I have been working HARD at making it cute and cozy, and I still need to tweak it a little bit so please pardon my dust! When I reach 100 followers, I will be doing an AWESOME giveaway! So excited for that.

 I have a neat project that I'll be sharing later tonight, so stay tuned!

AMAZING CHAIRS

So yesterday morning we decided to go check out some garage sales, and we found the most AWESOME chairs for our little bar area in the kitchen! ALL THREE were only $25!! SCOREEE!!!

I'm gonna give them a new coat of paint and distress them, but I LOVE THEM and had to share!

*swoons*

I think they were originally for a high table, but they're perfect there. Oh, and please ignore the crumbs on the floor, I like to take pictures first THEN clean last. *ahem* Yeah, I'm workin' on it.

 So stay tuned for some big changes for me! I've got awesome projects to share, and have also purchased my very own domain! SUPER excited to move over there, but until I have it up and running, I'll keep on updating here. I see I have a LOT of new friends, HI FRIENDS! So glad you're here! 

 I think that calls for a giveaway, so stay tuned for that also!

 My honey and I went on a date last night, it was MUCH needed! We went to claim jumper and even splurged on dessert, yum yum! We had the Lemon Bar Brulee *drools*

And here we are getting in the car, giddy with joy and about to floor it away from the house!

 Happy Sunday, friends! See you guys tomorrow!!

Our Laundry Room

So! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Ours was hectic and busy, but fun!

We visited downtown L.A., and my Husband was able to get TWO suits for a fantastic deal-they are REALLY sharp! It's so fun down there...there's fabrics, beads, ribbons, jewelry, clothes, etc. etc. etc. LOVE being close enough to be able to take a trip down there for things like that!

So today I'm going to share my laundry room with you all! This was one of our FIRST projects, and I must say, it's a tie between the laundry room and the hallway on which one is my FAVORITE project!

 When we first got our house, we were in need of a new washer and dryer-FAST! Our washer's latch was broken, so the door would fly open several times throughout the wash if there wasn't something heavy on top, and the dryer took about 3 hours to dry-which was just NOT GONNA WORK! So we got new ones :) However, we discovered that the pedestals for these silly little things were gonna be $200 a PIECE!

 Uhhmm....how 'bout....NO.

 So we needed to build one, and THAT we DID!

As you can see, I have the WORLD'S SMALLEST LAUNDRY ROOM-so we had to try and utilize every square inch. I am so proud of the pedestal table that my Husband built! He slaved over it on a Saturday, sick as a dog with snot running down his face and all! Cute visual, huh?! Really though, he put his sweat into this thing, and I just LOVE it.

I still want to distress my pedestal and need to get some decor going in the laundry room, but it looks 10000% better already! WOO!

 So this is the process of how it came to be:

There was two of these, but only one pictured here

This is the top, but upside down so my Hubs can attach the bottom

Progress being made....

With the plywood in place

More screws...

All finished and in place! PERFECT fit for such a small room!

I .HEART. my laundry room!
