Project Playhouse #5

After a crazy weekend of parades and kids activities I managed to throw in a couple of hours to finish up the trim in the playhouse.  

I am so excited at how good the floors turned out.  The look on my boys faces when they seen it was sheer enjoyment.  

Project Playhouse #4 ~ The Floors

It's time to do the flooring, so after alot of thought on what to do I decided to go with painted Diamonds.  First I made a cardboard template and then found the center of the room and started tracing out my pattern.

Notice my husbands message on the cardboard

Next Step was taping out the lines, because this is on brushed concrete I am expecting to do some touch-ups once the tape is taken off. 

Time to start painting, will post pictures soon.

For The Love Of Camping

Well this weekend there was no painting, decorating or crafting but there was a whole lot of fun to be had.  This weekend was the first one of the season to break out the trailer and hit the road for a little Fun, Family & Friends.

The kids had such a good time, we had a total of 13 kids there this weekend and they were all as dirty as they could get and had a ton of fun. 

Project Playhouse #3

There has been alot of progress on the kids playhouse, I am so impressed with the way it has turned out so far.

A few days ago we go all the cedar up on the walls, it isn't perfect but with a slopped deck above and recycled cedar it looks pretty good.

My husband put 6 new pot lights in and a roof

The Painting Crew ~ All suited up and ready to go

They all did such a good job, until they heard Dad start the dirt bike and then they were on to bigger and better things.  

By the end of today I got the roof, floor and walls painted.  We are still going to put trim in to finish off the roof and the floor.  Of course the next phase of decorating is my favorite.  I will post more pictures of the progress.

Dresser Makeover

      I just love it when you find exactly what you are looking for.  I had a vision of what I wanted and just happened to be on a second hand website and came across this set for $75.00.  I love the look of this dresser and nightstand, the curves in the legs and the slight detail in the drawers.  The top of the dresser had paint chipped off of it and the detail was painted in a gold which is just not my color.  

 

The Handles have pretty detail but again the gold is just not my thing

Dresser ~ Mirror still needs to be put on

The handles were repainted white and then a touch of color was added

All the detail was highlighted with the robins egg blue

Bedroom Makeover

When my little man was moving into his big boy bed I figured it was time for a change.  So it called for a fresh coat of paint, a new bed, and a toy box.  I am in love with Ana White with her plans it makes it so easy to create that perfect piece of furniture.  I decided Red would be a nice accent color and the fabrics I used to make pillows are fun and playful but didn't want them to match.  The bird sign above the window was painted the same red as the dresser and finished off with vinyl birds.

I just love this cute little leather Chair

I painted the dresser to match with the Red in the room

Project Playhouse #2

Picking the paint color for any project is my favorite part.  The color really is what brings any project or room to live, it could make it or break it.  I am in love with these colors that we have picked for the playhouse.  It was a group decision between me and the three boys and I think it is going to look fantastic.

Makai & Chase (notice the chocolate pudding face) they are so excited to do this project we picked up painting aprons and rollers just for them.
