I LOVE TRASHY NOVELS

Not to read but to do this…

I got the idea from Craftberry Bush. I used my band saw instead of an exacto knife like she did for two reasons. First I am not allowed to use exacto knives since I almost cut my thumb off once and it required 5 surgeries and months of healing and it still doesn’t work anymore. The other reason is that I’m lazy and a band saw takes about 30 seconds to cut out the book.

They are so quick and easy to make and you can make them in all sizes…

Think of the possibilities…..

SOME TIME OFF

My honey is home from Iraq for a few weeks so I'm not remodeling or redecorating or repainting or anything for a while.
We're being monsters...

So that's that!

LOOK NOW BECAUSE IT WON’T LAST

So my sleep-over room is finished…

The beds are all made…

The decorations are all up…

These are some clothes my kids wore way back when…

A fun little vanity…

That used to look like this…

It was free. My daughter rescued it off her friend’s truck that was headed to the thrift store. The stool is one that I cut down to fit and I painted it to match.

Darling chair given to me by my dear friend MIMI SUE. I traded her for a Marie Callender’s pie…

I brought in my little crib…

The big doll was mine when I was little…

I loaded the shelves at the end of the bunk beds with toys and books…

Added lots of accessories…

The phone is a favorite toy. I found it at a thrift shop. The little cabinet on the wall I found at a habitat for humanity store and I painted it to match.

I painted a couple of galvanized outdoor lights that I added pull chain switches to and hung them over the beds for reading…

I made little curtains for the bunk beds for some fun hiding and privacy…

I put in a new window and framed it in. I just haven’t made the curtains yet.

The kids are all coming over this evening to christen it. Wahooo

Their Grandpa is home from Iraq for a visit.
