Projects

...for my children's bedrooms...

#1 Flag Banner – Check.

Cheap, under $4, total. Clearance scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby cut and sewn to bias tape from Wal-Mart.

#2 Mirror – Help Wanted!


If you have an opinion, please weigh in on what I should do with the $3 rummage sale mirror in my daughter’s room. Here are some pictures of her room.  It is pretty small; I think 10x10 or so.


The room is somewhat cramped right now because the play kitchen and white table (not pictured) are in there. They might go back to the living room or to the basement at some point. The mirror is just hanging in that spot because there was already a nail there, but it can be moved. Should I paint it? Right now the gold does not match any other hardware in the room. And if so, what color?

#3 Chandelier - Help Wanted!


I am thinking of painting and putting the $3 chandelier up in place of the pendant light that is currently hanging from the ceiling in there. Yes or no?  Color?

#4 Painted Letters (to spell my son’s name for his bedroom wall) – My daughter's are pale pink and white, his will be red and white.  My goal is to do this by his birthday, which is coming up soon in August...

Let me know if you have any more fun, easy projects I should try!

Well, you know Brice is more of an expert than I when it comes to painting...but I did ask Abigail her opinion. =) She said to paint the mirror yellow to match the yellow in Kate's quilt and then paint the chandelier to match the afghan. Brice spray painted Abigail's chandelier and it worked really well. Cute room! Great job on the flag banner.
