I don't know about you, but my computer station is always cluttered with paper and things that I need to work on. It drives me bonkers, but there isn't a whole lot I can do about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I got this idea.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought these magazine holders at the thrift store for .50 cents each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then spray painted them gold, with this spray paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_IfQszgwv8U8FvhB4ARu2UM9zPeLC3fOWf614dsQNJVYTciA18-omHh_ROcM2PWRJ6nDtk97xOzrd4E0hhF24vX4lcqxAKx9btJOzKq82DiMZHnjVeC2W8BbX-JqK5SpZND0u25ABVH4/s1600/spr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_IfQszgwv8U8FvhB4ARu2UM9zPeLC3fOWf614dsQNJVYTciA18-omHh_ROcM2PWRJ6nDtk97xOzrd4E0hhF24vX4lcqxAKx9btJOzKq82DiMZHnjVeC2W8BbX-JqK5SpZND0u25ABVH4/s320/spr.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And next, simply screwed them to the inside of the computer armoire door.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have wanted a mirror forever, but I am such a cheap skate I haven't wanted to spend very much! So you can imagine my excitement when I found this LARGE mirror for a meager $20. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_KQbGzTi9kXMOat9vST5JGy4XE-uitI8gRq3Eb2fyUFzmSxaI3A56YLNTFXXo3hx0wbwYj7mn-smzItPxpIVqkqUHE6i44a3ZuLLXcikvEewxXQNgKGfZxXp6swaHCS-S0480CuFSmKU/s1600/mirror1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_KQbGzTi9kXMOat9vST5JGy4XE-uitI8gRq3Eb2fyUFzmSxaI3A56YLNTFXXo3hx0wbwYj7mn-smzItPxpIVqkqUHE6i44a3ZuLLXcikvEewxXQNgKGfZxXp6swaHCS-S0480CuFSmKU/s400/mirror1.jpg" width="363" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This redo was so simple, inexpensive, and easy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I simply cleaned up the mirror. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It had lots of grooves and nooks so I used a Qtip to get all the dust out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Second, I taped and papered off the mirror portion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLKTqeDN3G9p54p95UIBSXUnQbK1IHKOpZaeUbZXWZcAUXj2RQluPL4cmlcCDrcIqkzyMX4_y1BWysQm815caS6l8giae_TvHS0eY47_CU9jwy0XYNxRVWqKHKZ-RMld71fg9O4jt3pQs/s1600/mirror+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLKTqeDN3G9p54p95UIBSXUnQbK1IHKOpZaeUbZXWZcAUXj2RQluPL4cmlcCDrcIqkzyMX4_y1BWysQm815caS6l8giae_TvHS0eY47_CU9jwy0XYNxRVWqKHKZ-RMld71fg9O4jt3pQs/s400/mirror+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Third, I used THIS spray paint and spray painted the mirror. I did 3 coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwQrESKd_b1SQxj9l4OoHtQ1ZJQ5OwMkjGE6nKdA0juLDG1oy69Ez3MqCVIo94jkfJzWtg65QyRiu7QsA3lu9SdXuTsV3awgj0RUgiYCoBvWQdWz_MkBiI_VdVErx2KTzPJNLvo0Hl5Y/s1600/mirror3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwQrESKd_b1SQxj9l4OoHtQ1ZJQ5OwMkjGE6nKdA0juLDG1oy69Ez3MqCVIo94jkfJzWtg65QyRiu7QsA3lu9SdXuTsV3awgj0RUgiYCoBvWQdWz_MkBiI_VdVErx2KTzPJNLvo0Hl5Y/s400/mirror3.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then sanded the edges a bit so the gold showed through a little. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And finally I sealed it with a clear coat spray. ( I like the cheap $1 kind)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simple, elegant, and lovely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just my style!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I will be adding a wreath to it soon too)</div>

I am still loving my ledge shelf. Like, A LOT!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I occasionally stare at what I have up there and need something different.</div>
<br />

I love thrift store finds that are not only inexpensive but have good structure.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I washed the box well and applied two coats of white spray paint.</span></div>

When the paint had dried I sanded it down to give it a shabby feel and then gave it a clear coat of spray.</div>

I knew a wanted a simple 3 picture collage.<br />
One big picture of the kids or our family, and a simplistic quote or saying to each side. I found the frames and hastily filled the space, but I never really <i>LOVED</i> the printables.<br />
I wanted something with deeper meaning. That's when these lyrics hit me.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you heard the song <i><b>"Families can be Together Forever?" </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is from the LDS children's hymn book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is my families favorite song to sing on our family night. I often find the lyrics running through my head throughout the day. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first verse says</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #bf9000;">"I have a family here on earth,</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #bf9000;">they are so good to me.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #bf9000;">I want to share my life with them,</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #bf9000;">through all eternity."</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know why I hadn't thought of incorporating the lyrics before. But when the idea came to me, I knew it was what I wanted for each said of the main picture.<br />
I took the last 2 lines and created (2) 5x7 chalkboard printables.<br />
<br /></div>

I could shoot myself in the eyeballs with a bee bee gun for not taking a "before" picture of the hutch I just redid. I found this piece for $15 at a yard sale.<br />
<br />
It was originally black, the owner had spray painted it a robin egg blue but the paint must have dripped and dried that way 'cause it had a rough texture.<br />
I didn't care. I knew I needed it. The price was right, my computer space has been giving me anxiety attacks, and it was all wood. (BONUS)<br />
Plus, it was in decent shape and really just needed cleaned, sanded, and repainted. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a small look at what I was dealing with before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I obviously didn't document this space well either. I am sure because it always felt cluttered and messy. No matter how clean it was. A bee bee gun shot to the eye may have been better than taking a real picture of this space-<i><b>haha</b></i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look behind these two. (Don't mind them- they were pretty excited about the football game they were watching)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you see all the files, etc. back there?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is where my computer desk sat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBklAOE_5K4KhKhh8KDcxRqaIAfZEOaognbegpflVMm8JPDs_UaYCUIsxPJgS70lm973jwty30CZ6Te833ud6RRjgtL8JVmitlL8tz6y5edlhVcZl5rDf0AyXBTCXCFEl5ViuUH0l32kQ/s1600/a1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBklAOE_5K4KhKhh8KDcxRqaIAfZEOaognbegpflVMm8JPDs_UaYCUIsxPJgS70lm973jwty30CZ6Te833ud6RRjgtL8JVmitlL8tz6y5edlhVcZl5rDf0AyXBTCXCFEl5ViuUH0l32kQ/s400/a1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is one more to show you how cluttered it always looked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9dsCuTURUA7pbLmM3uyOtCfUMw4u0B8S2AHeXBBgjDG08UO3G1On3NY1H6QrPNSe4VRL0Zc805MBtinzhFA8xeDvthVn0UKXvmxpIzU4PGaItm45HG6Z-Ce0K1vrBVXD40_H727kpB-I/s1600/a2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9dsCuTURUA7pbLmM3uyOtCfUMw4u0B8S2AHeXBBgjDG08UO3G1On3NY1H6QrPNSe4VRL0Zc805MBtinzhFA8xeDvthVn0UKXvmxpIzU4PGaItm45HG6Z-Ce0K1vrBVXD40_H727kpB-I/s640/a2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted a hutch/armoire.<br />
Armoires are great items of furniture to organize a space. They provide the option to close off the clutter and add additional space to decorate!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a sucker for a good armoire. I like the elegant feel and the ability to close off all the paper clutter.<br />
<br />
You can see more armoire redo's <a href="http://gorgfabgoodies.blogspot.com/2012/06/armoire-redo.html">here</a> and <a href="http://gorgfabgoodies.blogspot.com/2012/08/chest-of-drawers-armoire-redo.html">here</a> .<br />
( I actually have before and after pictures for these)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So buying this piece was a no brainer.<br />

When I stumbled across this picture on pinterest I knew I needed a shelf above my washer and dryer as well.</div>

It is not horrible from this view, but it definitely bothers me from the above picture.<br />
Plus, let's be real for a second- look closely back there.<br />
Can you see the places that aren't painted?<br />
I know, total lazballs of me, but who really looks behind a washer and dryer?!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided that an added shelf was a brilliant idea.<br />
Not only to fill the gap but to hide my laziness. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First measure your space,- width and length.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My space was wide so I purchased a 1x8. You may need a smaller or wider board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend, Brenda, had a brilliant idea to add a lip to the front of the shelf so nothing falls off or behind the washer and dryer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I also purchased a 1x2, cut my boards to the length I needed, and assembled them like so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( I say "I" , but really my sweet honey did most of the work. I mostly bossed- that is important work too! <i>wink wink </i>)</div>

I have this beautiful fall wreath on my door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It drew me in the moment I saw it. The flecks of gold and bronzes mixed with fall colors appealed to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exactly my style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I realized ,after I did my pumpkin candy holders, I needed a little contrast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixjMVpNuXxUEUfzqNay7gb4HXx_ukbaP2YTgXw75zvZmJ1Fmv-N5gslNIs-VZ098r9KSiSI4MYeQ0iT1CIuZbraUyylS8o86lRBEBebEYcSfncZTtWaarjnd7PQlrIHXB2DcV6FiiYVvI/s1600/z2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixjMVpNuXxUEUfzqNay7gb4HXx_ukbaP2YTgXw75zvZmJ1Fmv-N5gslNIs-VZ098r9KSiSI4MYeQ0iT1CIuZbraUyylS8o86lRBEBebEYcSfncZTtWaarjnd7PQlrIHXB2DcV6FiiYVvI/s400/z2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I bought a lovely pumpkin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6D68jLdzkQsvI7XZ0Snn68G3b_ga6kOj03Iul1R_wTRDzRR1DL4BFm6A_BOMGjuT2hpH6bmVCRN5Jg17xr_T3KTnYRW6YTCqgFiWv-VZ2LLrH88cy-stAHk69LrUHPQtXmgtGkQRVJ-o/s1600/53a082147519b_-_pumpkin-mdn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6D68jLdzkQsvI7XZ0Snn68G3b_ga6kOj03Iul1R_wTRDzRR1DL4BFm6A_BOMGjuT2hpH6bmVCRN5Jg17xr_T3KTnYRW6YTCqgFiWv-VZ2LLrH88cy-stAHk69LrUHPQtXmgtGkQRVJ-o/s1600/53a082147519b_-_pumpkin-mdn.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only problem was the orange pumpkin was all wrong against my bronze mum holders and the gold flecks in the wreath. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the look of the "gold leafing" on the pumpkins on the wreath and decided to try to mimic that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I spray painted the pumpkin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problem , now, was it was <i>too</i> gold. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVP6o03MOFwudvsOgL78mqrxjT1cfdUI3uehP-dR1UmhyphenhyphenKrq0q_yXWrMFogjRK2OfiEhyJgHQtizQpB4v3LJRW82fRMJGGq2FQFz1EatH5svw-vL9i8eHVoHrlSmlMIM1qk9jyFA_w4iw/s1600/0072450401510_500X500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVP6o03MOFwudvsOgL78mqrxjT1cfdUI3uehP-dR1UmhyphenhyphenKrq0q_yXWrMFogjRK2OfiEhyJgHQtizQpB4v3LJRW82fRMJGGq2FQFz1EatH5svw-vL9i8eHVoHrlSmlMIM1qk9jyFA_w4iw/s320/0072450401510_500X500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grabbed some sand paper and, while the spray paint was still tacky, lightly sanded the pumpkin down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sanding while the paint was tacky made the paint fleck off and look more like a rub, instead of a paint. Exactly what it needed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find these candy holders cheap at almost any thrift store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I paid 50 cents for each of these . (I know what you are thinking -<i><b>big</b></i> spender- <i>rigghhtttt</i>!? ) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been wanting to make pots out of them for my porch. So I spray painted them both white.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They weren't bad, but they weren't right either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was SURE I wanted them to be white, but they just looked chintzy to me. So I decided to spray them again using a Hammered Rust-oleum spray paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>WOW</b></i> -- that made all the difference. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once they were painted and dry, I drilled a few small holes in the bottom and planted some mums in them! </div>

The possibilities for a cheese cloche (none of which include any cheese for me) are endless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I scored this one for $2.00 at the DI. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still on the hunt for several more, but for now, one will have to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So when I moved in to this house all the walls were white. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE WHITE, but kids and white walls really don't mesh. I have <strike>slight ,</strike> okay who am I kidding, major OCD and I think the white walls may very well have been the death of me. Those tiny peanut butter hand prints all over the place just weren't cohesive with my decor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The painstakingly loooooonnnngggg process of choosing a paint color was hard. I am loving all the griege colors that are out, but every time I sampled a greige it made the undertones in my kitchen cabinetry look more yellow. {YIKES} And I have these beautiful vaulted ceilings so it needed to be a color that could go throughout all the main living areas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am pretty sure I tried 10 different colors on the wall. That is when I called up my friend, Lisa, in desperation.( She is pretty much a paint color expert.) I told her my dilemma, that I wanted greige but it didn't work. She very simply stated...<i><b>"you can choose a griege that belongs more in the tan family but without yellow undertones.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>" UHHHH HELLO! <i>Why</i> didn't I call her sooner?? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then she said the best thing ever- <i>"Bonnie, try Sherwin Williams Loggia. It is beige, with a little gray tone."</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ran right out and bought a sample can. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess what??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was instantly in LOVE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was exactly what I wanted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not too dark, no hues of yellow, warm and cool, and bright n' fresh. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am positive she is a color master! I know who I am turning to for a paint dilemma next time. </div>

With my paint color decided, I was ready to tackle this project. Well, maybe just <b><i>THINK</i></b> about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I <i>wish </i>I could say I was 100% ready to go, but let's face it, painting overwhelms me. Thank goodness for my good friend Brenda. She gave me some (much needed) gentle nudging to start the process. She helped me every step of the way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SERIOUSLY-- I have some pretty amazing friends!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted to add paneling, to the entry way wall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like my husband and I did on our<u><b><a href="http://gorgfabgoodies.blogspot.com/2015/03/laundry-room-wall.html"> <span style="background-color: yellow;">laundry room project -</span></a></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we bought 2 sheets of white paneling.</div>

We added the wainscoting and got to work on the painting.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is amazing how simple changes like wainscoting and paint can completely transform a room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am probably the worlds slowest decorator. I am very methodical when I start a room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But hey, two years isn't <i>too</i> long to finish a space is it? <i>haha</i></div>

One of the most satisfying ways to decorate is to accessorize. After a room is finished, it is all about the little details. The pillows, the pictures on the wall, the shelves, the side tables and mirrors, and of course some lovely knick knacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those little finds can provide such a <i><b>WOW</b></i> impact to a room or even just add the right splash of color. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you go to the thrift store, keep an open mind. Pretty much anything can be spray painted or painted. So think outside of the box, peruse Pinterest for some fabulous ideas, and be creative. </div>

Spray painting a trinket is easy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Simply wipe down your find with a rag and some warm water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Make sure to choose your spray paint according to your item</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(you can find specific spray paint for specific surfaces - metal, plastic, stone, etc.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Spray Paint your item and let dry.</div>

I have been searching for the right piece to use as my TV stand since we moved in. I had a smaller "redo" table as the TV stand, but knew I needed something much bigger. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When my sister was getting rid of this piece I knew I HAD TO buy it from her. It is perfect for my space. Unfortunately (I could just slap myself) I was anxious to start painting this piece, and completely forgot to take before pictures. (I know, <i>I know</i>, right?!)</div>

Please forgive me for this grainy cell phone shot. It shows a shelf not painted yet, so you can get an idea for the original color.</div>

I used an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint from Home Depot in white. I am in LOVE with chalk paint. Although, I will make my own next time. It was quite pricey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply cleaned this piece really well and didn't bother sanding it before hand. The chalk paint adheres fast and dries quickly. (It has a gritty feel so after you get as many coats as you want, you may want to lightly sand your piece to smooth it out.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband and I also added legs to this piece to give it the right heigth and the right look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sanded the edges when I was all finished to give it a antiqued look and then applied a few coats of a polyacrylic to seal the paint.</div>

I found this above piece at a local thrift store for $3.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you but when a solid wood piece of furniture is that cheap--it's like the furniture God's are screaming at me to snatch it up. Luckily, my daughter was in need of a side table too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a quick and easy redo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I washed down the piece with hot soapy water. Next, I removed the hardware and taped off the glass with painters tape and used tinfoil to cover the glass. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then got this spray paint...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
...and gave it 3 coats of spray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After it was dry I lightly sanded the edges and replaced the hardware.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I found this dresser online for $40.00. It had a gazillion coats of paint on it and was in need of some serious prep work, but it had pretty good bones. Plus it was all wood, that is always a bonus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Here is what a did-</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I cleaned the dresser really well with a little hot soapy water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I then removed the knobs and sanded it down. Not straight down to the wood, but I sanded it enough to give it a smooth feel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3.Then I wiped it down again with hot water. (You want to make sure to remove all the fine dust particles.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. I spray painted the dresser with this-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxTJTQUg0Kpgf9FVxNFihPpiCBnWRAx4Sbl-npcSYFGWmbey_YEg7qZEAaFbUkdHSnJfbgyqa4Yx33DX7Bam0lxic-lHVlthq99pR5NIZXNWAcVAUM0jIO0m-6T7JGzBuoQrJwEAvWa24/s1600/245210_0910_UNI_12oz_Satin_White_L.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxTJTQUg0Kpgf9FVxNFihPpiCBnWRAx4Sbl-npcSYFGWmbey_YEg7qZEAaFbUkdHSnJfbgyqa4Yx33DX7Bam0lxic-lHVlthq99pR5NIZXNWAcVAUM0jIO0m-6T7JGzBuoQrJwEAvWa24/s1600/245210_0910_UNI_12oz_Satin_White_L.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took 4 coats. More than usual, but with all the paint coats it had from previous owners, I wanted to make sure to get it nice and thick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. I lightly sanded the dresser again to get rid of any over spray and to give it a shabby feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. I taped off the top of the dresser so I could make stripes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. I spray painted the knobs and top stripes with the shiny metallic finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. I applied a spray clear coat to seal the paint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here is the finished product.</div>

When you have established what kind of pieces you want in your home. Make a list. Writing it down can help you when you are thrifting to remember what kind of items you are looking for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am always on the look out for vases and pots. I LOVE them! All shapes and sizes. But let's face it- they aren't always in the colors I am wanting. But color is an easy fix. Paint can transform anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this lovely piece while thrifting with a friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The color isn't awful, it just doesn't match my accent colors in my home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I grabbed my favorite green shade of spray paint.</div>

This project is fairly simple to tackle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">What you will need</span></b></u></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>~1 sheet of press board. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(You could use particle board too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Side note- you can find extra press board all the time on construction sites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most construction workers will just let you have it)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>~Spray adhesive</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>~Fabric </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Enough to cover the size of headboard you are making}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>~Staple Gun</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>~Batting</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>~jigsaw </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>*Opt.</b>--a husband willing to help </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{I never do projects without mine!}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First off, you will need to decide what size you want your headboard to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made mine for a twin bed and knew I wanted the edges to come over the bed a bit. So I measured the bed and added 2 inches to each side to figure out my width. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You also need to decide before-hand what shape of headboard you want. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many fun shapes to choose from. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my favs-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It doesn't have to be an exact. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't draw worth beans, so my hubby just free handed the shape I wanted.</div>

So I have these beautiful window seats in a few of my rooms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjib7e5KqrmMcHCKucBLTZhTm4zUpZIi0pp0hl5SMZ5KTAgZ2G1yEsEL0uUmJPXhgozC1oNBhaLAvYJhvcnylMT1XIDzwgBZPBuJAam2IPnwpSXg9b6rB3dnoi6mk_U2I0cv_YD3SFhzRo/s1600/a11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjib7e5KqrmMcHCKucBLTZhTm4zUpZIi0pp0hl5SMZ5KTAgZ2G1yEsEL0uUmJPXhgozC1oNBhaLAvYJhvcnylMT1XIDzwgBZPBuJAam2IPnwpSXg9b6rB3dnoi6mk_U2I0cv_YD3SFhzRo/s400/a11.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only do the rooms need some paint, white just won't cut it with kiddos, these rooms also need a little updated. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the wood "dates" the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after a bit of research and some prep work, I decided to get this room into shape!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, I painted the room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A beautiful gray color from Glidden called Pebble Gray.</div>

Next, I removed the cabinet door fronts from the window seat and taped off all the walls and inside of the seat.</div>

I really love having a separate laundry room off the garage. It is nice to have the kids come home and be able to take their shoes, coats, and backpacks off without those items being strewn all over the house. However, I don't really love tripping over shoes, coats, and backpacks, which is usually the norm around here. I knew I needed a better organized system in the laundry room to make it a "trip free" zone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to use a wide bead board/paneling to be placed horizontally across the wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To give my laundry room wall a more welcoming feel and also for an easily wiped down surface.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A large white sheet can be purchased at home depot for around $20.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{This project took exactly one sheet}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also purchased some 1x6 MDF to use as molding for the top of my bead board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to use the baseboard MDF for several reasons. It is inexpensive, the outside is already white which cuts out priming, and it is easy to work with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also purchased robe hooks to use for their backpacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We measured the bead board to the wall and cut out the outlet holes. Then simply pin nailed it to the wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next we placed the MDF 1x6 flush against the top of the bead board/paneling. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the boards were all in place, my husband filled the holes with wood filler and lightly sanded it after it dried. Then I gave the whole thing a clean two coats of white paint!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next we simply screwed in our 5 robe hooks.</div>

I also wanted this small space to be cheery and inviting as the kids came home from school, so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dug out an assortment of frames (from my frame bin) and spray painted them all white.</div>

Have you seen the wonderful ledge shelves all over pinterest? I believe I saw a ledge shelf first on<span style="background-color: yellow;"> <a href="http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2012/01/20-shelves-anyone-can-build.html">Shanty 2 Chic</a> </span>. I knew right away that I HAD TO HAVE ONE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have this lovely wall that has given me so much heart ache and confusion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifX6Rlh6eB-S25B23JTaTdg4ZXnXLoL_dyV5H-5dgZCGCYslyHYd00DAGa0uCBh1lTyx_K7e5qFINvDwY5q4BtzfZ9Ew_qic5owP1RJKMv5rybZBsYlfOy2fyPoHKk7DcCuetKaBMZU_E/s1600/c4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifX6Rlh6eB-S25B23JTaTdg4ZXnXLoL_dyV5H-5dgZCGCYslyHYd00DAGa0uCBh1lTyx_K7e5qFINvDwY5q4BtzfZ9Ew_qic5owP1RJKMv5rybZBsYlfOy2fyPoHKk7DcCuetKaBMZU_E/s1600/c4.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The angle has made me second guess everything I have considered putting there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when I came across a few different styles of ledge shelves, I knew it would work perfectly. I could mount the shelf to the wall, centered, but use frames to stagger the heigth to work with the wall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My sister, Hanna, also recently added 4 gorgeous ledge shelves to her home. When I saw them in person I knew that I was on the right track and seeing her's only solidified my decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what I used.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
YEP, that's it! Super easy!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I opted to use my "man slave" --haha--that cute hubby of mine is pretty darn handy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how you assemble it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You could easily wood glue it too if you don't have a pin nailer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next mount it to your wall. We pin nailed it right into the studs.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a frame bin. It is sad how obsessed I am with frames. I love oval frames, square frames, antique frames, pretty much any kind. So I buy lots at the thrift stores, because they always come in handy. I had everything already on hand that I used to decorate my shelf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just simply spray painted a few items {ivy leaf is the green I used here} and framed some printables. </div>

Some people get spring fever, I just tend to get <span style="background-color: red;">REFURBISH FEVER.</span> The sun comes out to play with it's glorious rays of goodness and I just want to spray paint, hammer, sand, just about everything in sight! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My cousin, Ashlyn, and I spent an afternoon exploring the many thrift stores in this area. And oh my goodness, I found WAY too many treasures. (Well, they <i>WILL</i> be treasures when I am finished with them) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw this lamp and wanted it instantly.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think the original look is awful. I toyed with the idea to leave it, since gold is really trendy right now, but finally came to the conclusion to do it a crisp white finish . I gave it two coats of spray and then scuffed it up a bit to draw out all those details. I finished it off with a thick clear coat of spray to seal it.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted a vanity for one of my girls rooms. I searched high and low for the just the right piece. I finally found this piece on craiglist for $30.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew with a little hard work and a fresh coat of paint, it would work perfectly.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first cleaned the piece really well and disassembled all the bolts. I then gave it two coats of spray paint!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE this spray!! It goes on thick and wonderfully!</div>

I can't get enough of the gold trend! I find myself searching for any little trinkets that would look lovely with a new layer of gold spray. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this little glass owl at the DI for .25. </div>

Score, right!?</div>

{Don't mind my cell picture for the before. My cell phone should be at the DI. It is ancient.}</div>

Seriously my house is so empty. I have so much work to do to feel some of these voids. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited about having kitchen cabinets I could decorate above. But I do admit, they are a bit overwhelming to me now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted a large EAT sign, but couldn't find one simplistic enough for my taste. I found a perfect frame with great structure for $2.00. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQS_GpZ1En6YCa9Lio1Xt6R4wrAEmKhqGo9JWfaGZFnrmancI83CqJkHQ4_mJp8hXg8bl_gUnuej66RO6QL1SienQifUQRPH4ORHX5dYgEf1yYovcu252NNkSKJQ9fT6CVTLnMyqDr1qM/s1600/a3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQS_GpZ1En6YCa9Lio1Xt6R4wrAEmKhqGo9JWfaGZFnrmancI83CqJkHQ4_mJp8hXg8bl_gUnuej66RO6QL1SienQifUQRPH4ORHX5dYgEf1yYovcu252NNkSKJQ9fT6CVTLnMyqDr1qM/s1600/a3.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a simple 11x14 chalkboard EAT sign.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Simply right click and "save image as" to use this free printable too. My gift to you!}</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then spray painted the gold frame with this spray paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do love how it turned out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect for the empty space above my microwave cabinet!</div>
