Delayed start.

I apologize for the lack of posts. Life can get a little crazy sometimes with an ever growing baby who I just want to record every second because I think he is so cute and the most hilarious little guy ever. (first time mom problems?) 

Anyhow, here is one of my projects I actually wasn't planning on doing but ended up doing it since Calvin took an extra long nap that day. (what a glorious day that was). I was painting another piece of furniture and finished with lots of paint still left and thought hmmm is there anything else I wanna paint? Sure there is! I love love love painting! So I decided to do our desk.

Now I was terrible and didnt take a before picture. But I have part of the desk and wall space above it in this glamorous picture of the little man a few months ago.

So As you can see...The desk is from Ikea and is the lighter wood. Above the desk I had a collage wall with tons of pictures and what not with that lovely lamp that I STILL need to fix. It just looked really cluttered looking and the other side of the room seemed empty. I'll take more pictures tomorrow of the other side of the room, ( I didn't get any today because of a lovely teething babe :( ). So this is the final product, I love this color green and how it all turned out! 

 
For another remake...I actually took pictures this time...at the last minute! one sucks more than the other because one is with my phone and the other my camera...
I was tired of all the black and white throughout my house, mainly the front room and kitchen. We had these two great Ikea pillows that I love, can't remember how much, but not that expensive if I recall. I decided to recover them with som fabric, It only took a half a yard and is by far the fastest and easiest project ever. I'm pleased with how they turned out and love having more color in my house :)

Here's before:

 Such a happier place! :)

And one last "snazzy" find for the week..
A shopping cart cover. My little man is starting to hate his carseat, maybe because he's getting to big? He loves to sit in the cart at the store, even though he can't quite sit up unsupported yet, the strap supports him in the cart and it pleases his curious little mind. But I know how many germs are on those carts and it freaks me out a little bit. no matter how many times I wipe them down or use hand sanitizer. So I've been on the hunt for one, and thought It would be cheaper for me to just make one..it didn't seem that hard. Well while I was at Kid to Kid the other day grabbing some clothes for the little man since he is ever so growing and running out of clothes, I browsed around and saw this cute shopping cart cover for $6!

You can't even buy fabric that cheap to make the thing! SCORE!
Best thing about it? Its gender neutral and I can use it for a boy or a girl!

Well that's all for tonight. Again sorry for the delay.
Tomorrow I'll be posting some "snazzy" fashion finds!
Like some SERIOUSLY ridiculous "snazzy" finds.
Stay Tuned!
