Bedroom Redo

I hated the gray color I painted our bedroom last. It was warm and it looked purple, but the room is so big I lived with it because I didn't want to paint again. My Mom said she'd help me paint so I decided to redo the room. I found a picture with a quilt shelf above a bed and I found a shelf that was similar.

We made a new nightstand for me and I put the chest of drawers I was using in the closet for more storage. It is very old and was putting sawdust on my PJ's when I opened the drawers. I got a new cabinet for the corner to store PJ's and sweaters. I like the new gray color much better and I think the room came out good.

Crafts

My Mom and I made this little prim dress. I hung it in the downstairs hallway.

We made this nightstand for my side of the bed. I wanted a smaller one that would balance out the other one for my bedroom redo.

Updates

I saw a picture with crows on stair risers on a porch and I liked it so I decided to get some for the inside stairs.

I decided to update the decor in the stairwell too. I took down a door with hooks that was on the front and I put up a twig wreath and a shelf with a sign.

I added some pops of red to the blue room to break it up a little bit. Then, it reminded me of Americana so...

I added a little Uncle Sam sitting on top of some flag boxes. I like how it turned out.

Awesome File Cabinet

My Aunt and Uncle made a double wide file cabinet that is primitive and so nice looking. I can't fit a double wide one anywhere so I asked them to make me one that's a single file cabinet and it came out perfect. It looks so much nicer than a block of metal one. I love it!

New Floor

My Mom and I put in a new vinyl tile floor in the upstairs bathroom (she did most of the work). It's not that the floor we put in a few years ago was bad, in fact, we did a really good job, but my Mom did these tiles in hers and I liked how it came out and she offered to help do mine. I finally decided to just go for it. It looks great and it's fancier with the real grout than just sheet vinyl.

New Stuff

I desperately need more counter space in the kitchen so I got a new island that's bigger than the island cart I had. I found this one and so far it's working great. I like the little display shelves on the sides, but I'll have to find stuff to fill them up. I only have one thing for every day so far.

We made another cover for the coffee machine. It's really big, but I like the boxes instead of looking at the appliances. We also added a top to the toaster oven cover so it looks like the other covers instead of just a rectangle.

Halloween Crafts

I made this candy corn out of leftover yarn. It's cute, but I think the gourd came out better.

The gourd with leftover yarn. I want to make more of these maybe.

The plastic canvas wreath I did for Halloween. I like how it came out and I'm glad I made it, even though I have no places to put anything else.
