A Blank Canvas & A Little Paint

Decided to start painting again! For some reason, I always get the itch to paint during Fall and the first part of winter. These are my creations so far :)

Pallet Coffee Table

My husband and I took three pallets and made them into this beautiful coffee table for some very dear friends of ours. Needless to say, they loved it!!!! I'm also not going to lie, this was a pain to make, but happy that it came together so nicely!

Sewn Baby Monkeys

Found this ADORABLE pattern on pinterest of the cutest little baby monkeys ever!!! So I bought it, and made one for my youngest daughter Hailey. When my daughter Jenaye saw it, she said all she wanted for her birthday was three baby monkeys! The fact that she wanted something that I could make her and not something from the store completely melted my heart. She is my monkey after all, from the very moment she was born! So here they are, the three monkeys requested by my soon to be 6 year old!!! Where has the time gone?!?!

Handmade Faux Window Shutters

So one day I was driving home and saw a busted up broken box spring on the side of the road. I turned around and went back for it. After stripping it down, I saw the pieces of wood and decided it'd be perfect to make the faux window shutters I have always wanted! So I went to work! After ordering some handles from hobby lobby, painting and distressing, here is the end result!

Below is a picture of the box spring before it was taken apart :)

Painted and Distressed Frame

Found a cheap frame at our Value Village, painted and distressed it, and voila!!! 

Beautiful cheap new frame!

Heart~Shaped Pot Holders

My friend Melissa and I got together and made some super cute pot holders! I ended up making these for my other friend Melissa since she didn't have any. I fell in love with the colors she had chosen.

Pallet Art

I've seen these pallet art creations all over pinterest and I've been wanting to create one. So I snagged a pallet, and after sanding and cleaning, I assembled it & began painting. I wanted to paint something to hang in the girls room, something nature and girly. I'm pretty happy with the result :)
