Crafts I've been Up too!

So over the Christmas break I've had A LOT of time to spice up the house! Without school to take up ALL my time
AND
Brandon at work I had a lot of time to do some crafts! and with all the SUPER/GREAT craft blogs that are out there they have inspired me!! so here's some I've been up too.....


Looks familiar? yeah this is our $25 dollar table that came with two leaves! the leaves that we have not painted. so our table has been super little! until.......

TU DA!! a leaf and a bigger table!! we have LOVED having the leaf in and it's especially great with our game nights playing
HAND AND FOOT!!
which we are totally obsessed over right now! and now we can have more people over!!

Here is what we've had up above on our plantar.... yeah
super boring!!


So after a lot of time, and a some thrift store finds, a couple of trips to Real Deals, and some trash pile finds we came up with this!! Its great right now, but it needs more! and this summer we'll paint! but I still need to find some colors! any ideas? I'm thinking a red and tan-ish color? any ideas?
Here is an AWESOME garage sale find!! only $3.00 dollars!!

AND
it's totally plastic!! kind of fakes ya out doesn't it?




Here it is on the wall!! it's kind of dark... and please dismiss the person in the picture and her Sunday afternoon outfit!


Here is a closeup of the details of the top of this great mirror! I've been learning about bronzing and have totally wanted to do it on some something. but this is my way of bronzing, which is just a light spray of the spray paint to help the design pop out a little more! AND I really like how it turned it out!


Found this at the greatest Antique shop that
I finally went to and checked it out!! there were so many cute things there!! but this is what I came out with!


Just a light coat of some
blackish/bronze spray paint and
VIOLA
pretty candle holder!!

Brandon bought me this AMAZING garage door clicker on a rainy day and told me that he didn't want me walking in the rain! He is so AMAZING!! and yeah I say amazing a lot but he is and it's true! so anyways I've wanted to decorate it because it was a bit on the bland side so of course I had to add a little BLING and fun!!

Here it is I love the BLING!! I just don't know how or what to decorate the side above the grey buttons. So if you have any suggestions let me know! I SO love the turn out on this but it just needs a little of something more..


So our house had these two really nasty GOLD lights!! and they totally BUGGED me, like crazy!! So I was spray painting some frames one day and saw them and decided to paint them too!! here is the before!!

and here is the after!! and I totally LOVE IT!!! I bet ALL our neighbors are jealous because they still have the nasty gold lights and we have classy black lights!!! It's gorgeous and it goes SO well with our house color!!

So this is some changes around the house! let me know if you have any suggestions of paint colors!

  2. You are SO crafty! Your house is getting really cute, and once you get the paint up, it will change it completely! As for color, I have NO idea, but make sure to see it in all lights (Morning, afternoon, night, inside lights, etc) before painting. It will make a difference! I can hardly wait to see it!
