Patio Udgrade!

This weekend I decided to add a little fun to our patio... I did not buy a single thing for this project! I used everything I had laying around the garage!

Here is a before of the patio...

Now, here is what I did to the pillows...

I printed some images on Microsoft Word, cut them out to use as a pattern. I printed a Dove and the letter 'A'.

I put the images over burlap and painted them on with a creamy white paint...

Next, I cut the burlap into small squares and used hot glue to attach the pieces of burlap onto the pillows that I already had!

So, the final pillow product cost $0!

Burlap Monogram Frame

I found some left over fabric in my guest closet and wanted to create an entryway

decor for my Mom....

So I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a frame 50% off ( love that sale!).

I used the cardboard from inside of the frame and began by covering it with the blue damask fabric and hot glue!

Next, I cut a smaller piece of burlap, about 6x8. I painted the "H" on the burlap with bright white paint. Then I used hot glue to stick the burlap on top pf the damask fabric. I just printed a letter "H" from the computer, size 550 - font Harrington and cut it to use as a stencil!

VIOLA... Here is the final product! Total Cost $8.66

Ace's New Bed

I was reading one of my favorites.....

and I loved the idea of turning an unwanted end table into a dog bed!

So... I found this at Goodwill for $15!

I began by painting the legs and sides with this...

(Flip the table upside down to look like a four poster bed...)
Next, I added a regular pillow, decorating with stamps to give my little man a comfy place to rest! Here is the final product! Total cost: around $25!

Project Dresser

My husband's family has passed this dresser down through 3 generations now.. Luckily, I was able to snag it- shab it - and use it!

Before.....

& The After.....

Here is what I used...

50% off chipped glass knobs from Hobby Lobby

total cost $9.00

Martha Stewart Interior Flat Paint

Color: Sisal

I sanded the entire piece, painted it with all of my brush strokes going the same direction, then put it together and VIOLA! It was so fun!!
