Bibs from Dad's Old Shirts


I love this idea. My husband has a few shirts that we don't know what to do with, but don't have the heart to through out. What a fun idea to use his shirts to make some unique and cute bibs. I am especially loving the button down one!
I can see this for little girls too with some of Mom's old shirts.

Vintage Neclace Remakes

I am loving this style of necklance. The flower and combo beads, etc. is so cute and stylish. Check out how she made the jean flower here.


Below is my first attempt. The silver chain was my grandmothers. I love that I was able to use it. My mom just gave me her grandmother's (my great-grandmother) costume jewelry too. I am excited to use it and wear it. I love things that have been passed down.

Mantle Headboard


I want to do this so bad. I just have to find my mantle. Here's a tutorial.

Table Tops

My everyday eating table is a junker from DI that I've painted up. I thought with little ones this was the best solution, and if anything happens to it I don't freak out. Here's an idea of how to update your table with a fun design.

I probably wouldn't to this design, but the wheels are turning in my head, and I will be doing something soon.

The girl who did this took the legs off and my use it as a head board...what a GREAT tidea!

Here's another one she did. I do really like this one and might try it in my house colors.

Old Wash Bin Turned New

I saw this, which I have one of, so I was very excited because I almost sent it off to DI,


but look what a fabulous tresure it can turn in to be.

Mine is almost finished, I still have many places I've thought of putting it, but I don't have to decided that now. I am just loving it.
(Sorry, I can't find where it came from. I think it was bugabooscreations.blogspot)

I am looking for great ideas to udpate my old window that's just sitting around. I think I finally found it.

Here's another great option. She does a lot with fabric and paper in frames too.


And here's yet another window idea a saw here:

Here's mine. I love how it turned out.
