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!!

Kitchen Cabinets Makeover

YAY! Our kitchen redo is almost over!!! My favorite part of the redo was painting the cabinets white. If I must I will show you a before picture of the kitchen :)

Before

we started the makeover by taking all of the cabinet doors off and sanding down every single part of the cabinets. We then started to prime all of the cabinets. Once the primer dryed we started with our SUPER white paint. We put two coats on all of the cabinets. I had a blast painting the doors late at night while I watched my soap All My Children...I heart TIVO!!

After

Once the painting was finally done YES!! we put all the knobs and handles on the doors and oohhh la la Our brand new kitchen cabinets are finally done :) it only took us two months!

All that is left to add to our new kitchen is the butcher block counter tops that I want soooo bad...hopefully soon!!!

Board and Batton Backsplash

We have been wanting to do a backsplash for a little over six months but I could never make up my mind! I knew I wanted something white hhhhhmmmm beadboard, tile, beadboard, tile, im so indecisive. Well the other day a light bulb went off in my head!! Why not try board and batton for a back splash...I love it on my dining room walls. So within an hour of my idea I went to work. I already had all the the materials, boards and paint :)

I love decorating with lemons in my kitchen...my favorite accessory!!

I love how the dark basket looks next to the white, plus it hides all of our mess!!

Next on our kitchen redo is to get butcher block countertops, can't wait :)
