Projects

For those of you that know me really well, it is no surprise to you that I've been working on a few projects! I love having projects to do especially when it involves making our house a nicer place to be. There are a few of you out there too that probably think I'm silly for putting this on my blog, but there isn't much else to talk about in our lives right now ; )

1st project: Computer Armoire

In preparation for making our second bedroom a baby's room, we decided that I needed to come up with another idea for my "office." We decided to purchase this computer armoire and make my "office" a part of the dining room. It isn't necessarily ideal, but when you only have two bedrooms you have to improvise!

2nd project: Kitchen Cabinet Knobs

We updated our cabinet knobs. The cabinets look totally different in these two pictures as well, but we didn't change the color of the cabinets, the photos were just taken at different times of the day. We replaced the outdated white knobs with the darker metal knobs. It is amazing how such a little change can make a huge difference!

3rd project: Dining Room Wall Hanging

I saw this idea at one of our local craft stores before Christmas. When Christmas was over I decided to use some of my Christmas money to purchase it, but when I went back to that store I realized it was gone. I decided that I could probably re-create it myself. I purchased the metal rod and the wooden letters. I painted the letters black and Dave helped me distress them. I originally wanted the wall hanging to say "Family," but the craft store was out of some of the letters so we decided to do our last name instead. I've blurred out the actual letters for safety reasons. I'm not 100% convinced that I like it with our last name, but it will work for now.
