Do It Yourself!

I have been pretty freaking crafty lately.

Thanks to my new-found-love of pinterest, it got me back into the crafty/decorating mood.

I go in spurts... and here's my latest.

Cade recently upgraded to his own room, and these were leftovers for the guest room of our old house.

I wanted to transform it into a cute little boy room.

BEFORE:

 My idea scheme:

 First step, refinish the side table:

 Add new textiles and a palm and voila! 

 I have a friend who is making me the cute white and aqua "surboards" sign on the idea palette above. :)

Next project: Frame my mirrors!

BEFORE:

(kinda boring, huh?)

I had little tabs holding this smaller mirror, so I had to remove the tabs and used liquid nails to glue it to the wall:

 Next I hit home depot and bought some cute floor boards...borrowed my friend's skill saw and measured and cut 45* angles (I was bad at math, but I DO know two 45's makes 90! ;))

Then I glued and L bracketed them together.

Next, I used liquid nails to glue the frames to the mirror (this mirror didn't have tabs)

 Then I sanded, painted, and here is

AFTER:

I am really happy with the results! I'm proud of my not-so-crafty self!
