Chalkboard Table

Here is a chalkboard table I painted for my classroom.  We use it for many things.  I love utilizing it during my centers.  However, the table can easily be converted into a restaurant table or a kitchen table (depending on where our imaginations take us). 

Fall Mantle

I love Fall!  It is my favorite season.  Here is our mantle!

Wall Stencil

Happy Sunday!!  I have been very busy lately with the start of a new school year.  I have not had a chance to decorate my house or update my blog.  Luckily, Fall Break is around the corner and hopefully I will have a little more time to do what I love-work on our house!

Here is our entryway.  I painted it gray and stenciled an accent wall with a high gloss light gray.  The process was no fun but the result is very fun!

Pallet Headboard

Here is my pallet headboard!  I spent hours sanding these and my wonderful dad attached them to the bed for me.  I LOVE the way it all turned out! 

Burlap Balls

My sister gave us super cute silver bowls as our wedding present to place on our coffee and end tables.  Finding cute things to put in these bowls can be expensive.  Which is why I decided to experiment using the same technique I used to make this burlap wreath earlier this year.

  I went to the Dollar Tree and bought two packages of Styrofoam balls and then bought three different colors of burlap from Hobby Lobby.  Did you know that Hobby Lobby has a 40% coupon on their website everyday (which you can pull up on your phone while you check out)?  The nice lady in the fabric section gave me this tip one day. :)  Which means that I made all of these vase fillers for less than $5.00!  Here are some pictures of the burlap balls.

Just go to the post explaining how to make the burlap wreath if you are wondering how I made these.  You could probably use any type of fabric you want.

Est. 2009 Sign

Hello :) Over spring break I found my dad's scrap pile of wood and we started working on a project together.  He helped me glue, sand, and stain the wood.  My plan was to paint a cute saying on my new sign.  I changed my mind because it was requiring too much patience and work.  So, I flipped the sign over (to the ugly side) and started over.  This not-so-perfect side gives the sign character.  Here is the end result!

Be Our Guest

Here is my latest project for the guest bedroom!  Hope you like it!  It is a little plain.  I think I might add a frame around it.  That will be saved for a later project.  Happy Wednesday!
