Happier Notes

On a happier note...

I've found a slew of creative blogs that I'm in love with and am officially motivated to start sewing!!

I've also got a list of projects to complete and completed a major trip to Lowe's to get supplies for some chalkboards and book slings I am going to make for Noah's playroom. Also, got some trim for the walls by the stairs and the rest of the paint so finally, this weekend, I am GOING to complete this stinkin project!!

I am so excited to do these projects and I wish I could take credit for them but I can't! haha. I'll blog about each one as I complete them but here is a list of links for your reading pleasuree..




The chalkboards aren't from a site. 
I just got some old wooden frames from Goodwill, took out the glass, etc and am going to repaint them bright, fun colors.
I bought plywood at Lowes and had them cut it to size for each frame. Now I need to prime and paint it with chalkboard paint and Viola! Adorable chalkboards for Noah to create little paintings in!! I'll put up a picture tutorial once they've been completed.

THIS site is incredible...her photography in and of itself is amazing. I would like to steal the lanterns/pompom idea and put in into blues/creams for his playroom....so adorable!!
I'd also like to make this pallet reading bed once we get into a bigger place.

And this site has an awesome tutorials list!!!
Toots!

Enjoy!

  2. Can't wait to see what you do. I like the book sling. I might actually use that idea in my bathroom. :)
