What to do with an ugly frame and a busted woopie cushion?

What would a normal person do with an ugly oak colored frame and a busted woopie cushion? Probably throw them in the trash, luckily for my wallet, I'm not normal!

I spray painted the frame with a black satan. Then I glued the woopie cushion to a piece of scrapbook paper and put it in the frame. I'm pretty sure the frame wasn't even completely dry yet, haha! I needed some more Halloween decorations in the house! Anyway, everyone LOVES it and so do I! Plus, you can't beat the price... FREE!!!

Make Over Craigslist Bar Stools

I bought a set of stools on Craigslist for $10. They were in pretty rough shape, but I had big plans for them!

The first reveal... not very pretty!

Step one: I spray painted them satin black

Step Two: I added a foam top. I had 2 square ones from a previous stool, so I reused them.

Step Three: I attached the foam with spray adhesive and trimmed down the foam pad to fit on the top.

Step Four: I covered the foam with a new fabric I bought at Hobby Lobby for only $6 a yard.

I love the way they turned out and the kids love them too!

The inside of my Front doors go BLACK!

I have thought about doing something cool like this for a while, but I wasn't ready for such a drastic change. Then I saw a blog that had changed their white door black and it looked AWESOME! So I mentioned it to the hubby and he said, do it! That's all it took for me to run right out to HD and buy the semi-gloss black paint! And the rest is history...

Black and White... nice look huh?

The finished product from one view.

And finally, it's all done!!!

I love the way it turned out. I know it's hard to get a full idea of the way they look, but they have completely transformed my foyer!

Be sure to keep checking in, because I am taking on my largest transformation yet... my laundry room renovation!!!

Thanks for looking and be sure to swing over and check out other ideas from blogs I link to.

Glider Transformation!

So here is my original glider that my mom bought us when we had our first baby, almost 6 years ago. It used to be plain tan, but I already put a slipcover on it and redid the arm rests a few months ago. It was not getting any use, so I decided to put it in our formal living room/office. However, it didn't look too great in the room! I really can not afford to go buy a new chair, so I got creative! Actually I googled it and I ran across an awesome blog here, where a lady had already done this and I copied her idea, LOL!

The before.

Bare bones.

So here is where I get very creative and use what I already have. Instead of getting the proper board as the original blog mentioned, I used a cardboard box for the back and an old Remax sign for the arms. I know this is sooo crazy, but it really doesn't get used a lot, it really just has to look good, haha!

Here it is... the finished product! I know it's not perfect, but neither am I! I couldn't find all the thread from my sewing machine (kids probably hid it somewhere), so I hot glued the entire slipcover together inside out. The slipcover by the way is two twin flat sheets. Obviously I will have to really sew this one day, but for now, it's just what I wanted!

Ugly Outdated Armoire gets a Pretty Pink Facelift!

When my husband and I moved into our home, we were given this very unpleasant 80's brown armoire. We were more than appreciative since we had 5 bedrooms to fill and we only had a 3 month old daughter! It has made it's way around the house from room to room, finally ending in our master bedroom for a couple of years. Recently, I decided to move it to our daughters room, since she really needed the storage for all of her clothes! My husband told me to chunk it, LOL! He hated it!!! I looked around for a new one and decided I could fix this ugly thing!!! Well, here is what I did...

Here is a lovely shot of this armoire before.

Here is another one, still ugly!

First step, destroy my bathroom and paint a coat of primer on.

After the coat of Kilz white primer. This was not pretty at all! I started having my doubts at this point, but I kept going.

After a coat of soft pink paint. This paint was in my garage, it was the color of our daughters first nursery in our old house, so clearly it has special meaning to me!

Next step, I glazed the entire thing with RL tobacco (my favorite thing these days).

The Finished Product!!! I added some cute ribbon pulls to soften the look. I stole this adorable idea from another blog, PERFECT!
