New Life for an Old Dresser

To date, this is my favorite makeover. I purchased this piece for $7.49, that makes me so happy!

Here is what it looked like Before

I created an inspiration board to help me get a feel for what this piece was destined to be.

The above pictures were taken from the following sites, from left to right:

Here is the finished piece.

This piece has been sold and will go to its new home tonight. I hate see it go, but am looking forward to may next makeover.

Not an Easy Task

Wow, it's been a while since I posted. I wasn't planning on taking a break, but sometimes it's hard to get into the swing of things. We are having nice weather and I have been spending a lot of time outside. I just need to learn how to balance housework, blogging, projects, baseball games, gardening and a whole lot more. Not an easy task.

I have managed to complete a mirror makeover for my daughter's room. Take a look at the before.

Not bad, but it doesn't fit into her decor. I sprayed it black and then added embellishment.

I've already started on my next project.

The hardware has been removed, it has been sanded and primed and now I'm ready to get creative. Stay tuned for updates and the reveal.

Spring Break 2012

Last week was Spring Break and my Mom was here for a visit. No projects were worked on, just quality time and a lot of running around!

Sit back and grab a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage and enjoy the pictures...

Our first stop was at the Pittsburgh Zoo.

Time for a nap?

Later in the week we visited Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, OH. I was truly impressed with this park that offers over 4,400 acres of beauty. We only enjoyed a small portion of it and am looking forward to returning often.

Located at the North end of Mill Creek Park is Fellows Riverside Garden. This is a free public garden and I can see many visits here in my future.

Lanterman's Mill is also located inside Mill Creek Park. Built in 1845-1846, Lanterman's Mill is still operating grinding corn, wheat, and buckwheat. The facilities here include an observation deck overlooking Lanterman's Fall, a covered bridge, and a hiking tail.
