Flower Power

I am nuts about the flower applique shirts that are out there. I am not nuts about the price. $50 for a T-SHIRT??? Unless that thing cooks dinner for me and takes me to a movie, I can find better things to do with $50. Especially because the odds are high that this said shirt will get some sort of child DNA on it whether that be pee, puke, blood, snot or drool…Oh the joys of motherhood. So I set out to make my own! And for CHEAP! I bought (2) V-neck T’s at Wal-Mart for $2 each. Yep that’s right TWO-DOLLA-BABY! … Continue reading…

Let Him Sleep…

Most say they are repositionable but not reusable, and some say may cause damage to textured walls or not adhere to textured walls well. Not only are we renting, we have textured walls. So, I did as any DIY’er would do…I made my own on PSE and framed it for Ryan’s room! You can remember how I rambled on about not having decorated… Continue reading…
Thrift Store Table
| July 8, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under DIY, Furniture, Home Decor |
So, I have yet to decorate a nursery. That’s right, TWO babies down and ZERO nursery designs under my belt. When Michael was born we had a 3 bedroom house in Illinois, and just set up shop in one of the bedrooms. The one we used as an office to be exact and the only baby related things we did to change the room in there was add a crib, changing table and dresser. All of which we got in a box from Wal-mart…don’t get me started. When Ryan was born we lived in Minnesota, again in a 3 bedroom house. However… Continue reading…
