The girls had this princess vanity that wasn’t being used anymore and I almost took it to the thrift store. I had been searching thrift stores for months looking for a small table to go in my living room. Then it clicked! Just use the princess vanity:
I took the mirror off and gave it three coats of spray paint and ended up with this:
Total cost: $.97 (can of spray paint). So glad I didn’t donate this!
I am linking up to Frugal Friday over at the The Shabby Nest. Check it out!
The girls and I browsed an antique store last week for ideas and I just loved this one booth.
I really liked these prints, they were $14.95 each (I’m thinking scrapbook paper and vintage images):
Loved the black vases holding the green apples – they cost $40 a piece (without the apples) – maybe I’ll check Hobby Lobby for something similar.
Loved this cage thingy:
I liked this art work. I think that I could do something like this myself – if I could find the time!
I love window shopping, wait - no I don’t! I want to buy it all!
I haven’t been to a party lately, so I’m joining in on Tasty Tuesday at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam – check it out!
This week I’m making some Easy Hummus:
You’ll need the following:
1 15oz can of Chickpeas
2 cloves of garlic (I used jarred over fresh)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoon Tahini
2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon – 1 teaspoon Cumin (not pictured)
Put all ingredients in the food processor and blend well.
Serve with Veggies of your choice.
Enjoy!
It has been a crazy week. We had to clear out all three bedrooms, including the closets:
We had stuff everywhere:
But it was worth it because now all the bedrooms have new floors:
My house is carpet free and I’m loving it!
Dear carpet:
You have lived in this house for 17 years. I have walked on you for 9.5 years. I will not miss you. You have been through a lot: potty training of both girls and a puppy, craft projects, stomach bugs, spilled drinks, mud, ect….. Your time has come to an end. When you are taken away tomorrow, I will not cry, I will not miss you. Sorry carpet, you just weren’t cut out for our family!
Goodbye!
I had been looking for an easy granola recipe and was surprised to come across one on a decorating blog I often visit.
I found the easy recipe for granola here: 320 Sycamore (go there to get the recipe).
I believe my first attempt at making homemade granola was a success! So, so yummy!
