I LOVE TRASHY NOVELS

Not to read but to do this…
DSC06322
I got the idea from Craftberry Bush. I used my band saw instead of an exacto knife like she did for two reasons. First I am not allowed to use exacto knives since I almost cut my thumb off once and it required 5 surgeries and months of healing and it still doesn’t work anymore. The other reason is that I’m lazy and a band saw takes about 30 seconds to cut out the book.

They are so quick and easy to make and you can make them in all sizes…
DSC06329
Think of the possibilities…..

SOME TIME OFF

My honey is home from Iraq for a few weeks so I'm not remodeling or redecorating or repainting or anything for a while.
We're being monsters...


































So that's that!

LOOK NOW BECAUSE IT WON’T LAST

So my sleep-over room is finished…

DSC05731

The beds are all made…

DSC05734

DSC05735

The decorations are all up…

DSC05748

These are some clothes my kids wore way back when…

DSC05733

A fun little vanity…

DSC05742

That used to look like this…

It was free. My daughter rescued it off her friend’s truck that was headed to the thrift store. The stool is one that I cut down to fit and I painted it to match.

Darling chair given to me by my dear friend MIMI SUE. I traded her for a Marie Callender’s pie…

DSC05741

I brought in my little crib…

DSC05737

The big doll was mine when I was little…

DSC05739

I loaded the shelves at the end of the bunk beds with toys and books…

DSC05744

Added lots of accessories…

DSC05746

The phone is a favorite toy. I found it at a thrift shop. The little cabinet on the wall I found at a habitat for humanity store and I painted it to match.

I painted a couple of galvanized outdoor lights that I added pull chain switches to and hung them over the beds for reading…

image

I made little curtains for the bunk beds for some fun hiding and privacy…

DSC05736

I put in a new window and framed it in. I just haven’t made the curtains yet.

DSC05749

The kids are all coming over this evening to christen it. Wahooo

Their Grandpa is home from Iraq for a visit.

MORE FREE STUPID STUFF

I love waterbed drawers and when they are free I love them even more…

So when I found these on our local classifieds I grabbed my  “Half's’” Mom and her truck and off we went…
IMG_1155-1
We loaded them up and since the dump was on the way home we had to stop and check their “Give and Take” area…
  And we found more free stuff. She got a couple of exercise machines that were practically brand new and I got  a new slide for my swing set…
DSC05722
It’s brand new! Never been used.
Anyway I finally got home with my loot…
DSC05681
DSC05680
And I took them apart and started painting…
DSC05677
DSC05678
Then I took them inside to my new “Sleep-Over” room…
DSC05709
I put one set under the bunk beds I built into the closet…
DSC05706

DSC05707
And the others under a couple of beds I made…
DSC05715
I haven’t gotten the knobs put on yet but you get the idea…

It’s all coming together.
