Flower Power

My mom and I had a fun weekend making lovely center pieces for her new house. We had some left over glass vases from a wedding that we helped with. The first thing we did was spray paint the vase brown and then added some fabric. Then we arranged the flowers, which took us forever! Here is our first piece!


We used the same fabric that she used for her curtains.


My mom made this center piece a few days ago, one of my favorites...wish I could steal it lol!!

Dining Room Table Makeover

My old beat up Ikea table was in desperate need of a makeover...let the fun begin!! First thing first was to clean it up get all the old marker and crayon stains off of it :) then I sanded that baby down! Then I sanded each chair down which took me forever, thank goodness I have an electric hand sanded...my BFF! My next step was to prime, oh boy this took me forever I did one chair each night so that they would dry.







My next step was to start painting it black. I used a black satin that I bought from Lowes. I painted three coats and let me say this took me FOREVER...but it was worth it. I love my new dining room table it looks great with my table runner and candles!

Wainscoting Treatment and Moulding

I decided to do a faux wainscoting treatment and moulding that I've been wanting to do forever.
So I went to Lowes and loaded up with some boards and got to work. This whole project cost less than $40 and took one evening to install.
I wanted the wainscoting to be somewhat on the tall side so I got some 4 foot boards (1/4 inch thick) and had them all cut at the same time to 3 feet.



We spaced them about 20 inches apart:





Then put one all the way across and topped it off with a chair rail:
And after two coats of paint, this is the final product:
