Fun with Paint

Ok so I follow a few blogs ( http://www.allthingsthrifty.com/, http://twicelovely.blogspot.com/, http://missmustardseed.blogspot.com/ ) that show their creative work with decorating and furniture. The ladies that do these blogs totally inspire me! ******************************************************** My first picture is a dresser my sister gave me......its for my girls to share..............I love how it turned out! The other picture is a nightstand my same sister gave me..............it has become a perfect t.v. stand in my kids play room. I love how everything has a place now! And I love the bright colors ( my husband picked out the green )! I am just a begginner at this painting thing.......but it sure is fun.........minus my hand and arm aching from painting so much ( I literally couldn't go to sleep cuz it was aching so much!)

The reason for the colors is so my girls know which drawers are theirs. The white ones they share........the yellow ones are for S........and the orange ones are for M.

ksl Rocks!

I decided we needed a coffee table in our living room. My kids and hubby are always taking snacks and food in there to watch t.v. (it drives me nuts). I don't mind an occasional special night when we put a blanket down and have pizza and movie.............but my family seems to think anytime they want is a special occasion. They are constantly taking food in there. Since we are living at my parent's house..........I am trying my best to keep my mom's carpet clean and stain free. My family is not exactly helping. So.........I decided to move an area rug into the living room and add a coffee table in hopes that the rug would catch any food droppings and the coffee table would help keep food off the floor. I looked at D.I. for a coffee table but didn't see anything with potential and they all started at $35. So I looked on ksl.com..........................I love ksl.com! I found this awesome table for $20! My awesome hubby picked it up in Farmington for me, and bought my spray paint for me (I can't stand oak, I paint anything oak!). So I painted the table black, and I am so happy how it turned out! p.s. don't mind the silly children and messy room.
