Another thing I want to do

I just need to document some of the ideas that I REALLY want to do. My house was 95% completed before we bought it. We were able to pick out the carpet and appliances. I have always wanted to add something to my mirrors to make them look nice. Here is a link for a tutorial that I am hoping to use to add that little something extra to my bathroom mirrors.

From This (I have something similar in both my bathrooms)

How different does this look? Crazy huh! I really need to break down and buy my hubby a saw so he can help me with all these awesome projects.

Something to aspire to

So one of my favorite craft blogs is All Things Thrifty. She is very creative at taking old things and making them current. I am always looking for old things at the DI or thrift shops to make over for my house but I am not as lucky at hitting the jack pot as she is. One thing that I am going to be attempting is refinishing furniture. If any of you have something that you wouldn't mind me using to try out some of my new methods, I would love to try.

This is one of the projects that I have in mind after I complete Ryker's room (yes I know it has been over a month but we have been busy EVERY weekend).



I just wanted to document this for myself so I know right where to go to get the instructions on how to complete this project. The lady who did this project only spent around $29 and it looks SO elegant and would solve the problem I have with the curtains over my sliding glass door. One of these days.... Too many ideas... not enough time but this is one project I am going to start shopping around for.
