Vintage Inspired Credenza & Photo Stand

 Last year I bought this fabulous credenza, which I absolutely love.  Although it has sat collecting papers and junk since then as I just hadn't found anything I wanted to put on it.  



In a conversation with my good friends I had said I was looking for an antique typewriter.  So with that they searched all of Alberta and found this fantastic typewriter which I got for Christmas.  It is exactly what I was looking for.  


I had found these on Pinterest and was immediately fascinated by them.  I searched high and low and couldn't really find exactly what I wanted so in true DIY spirit I made them. 



I headed into my local Micheals and found these plaques in their wood section.  I bought different sizes and shapes to add a little variation.  I drilled out a hole in both the side of the top and the middle of the bottom piece and used wood glue to stick the dowel. A little paint and some of my favorite pictures and I think I like them even more than my inspiration.  





The vintage pictures are actually of my dad when he was younger.  Just thought this was the perfect place for them.  


This was a great place to put my husbands certificate from finishing his Masters Electrician course.  He worked so hard to get it and wanted somewhere special to display it.  

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!

Karate Belt Display

My Oldest son has been in Karate for the past 3 years and has been accumulating Karate belts.  I have put them aside and tried to come up with something to present them and show all his hard work. 


I wanted to incorporate his belts along with pictures of him throughout the years at his belt ceremonies.  I started with a simple box and then added in the cubbie and finished it off with backing the photo boxes with scrapbook paper and the pictures.
