Old Crib Refashion The Lost is Found!

I saw this blog post from The Red Kitchen a VERY long time ago.  Since then I have been looking for myself a crib.  I even posted about it HERE.

Anyways.  If you go over to the link you will see the awesomest easel EVER!  It has chalkboard on both sides.  I have been wanting to make it for my girls.  I would post the finished pictures for you but both girls climbed into bed with me this morning.  Plus the easel is going to be their Christmas gift.  SO I can't give that away!

Anyway..The story goes something like this...I have been SEARCHING craigslist for crib like this.  I haven't come across a single one.  I have my sister looking for one in thrift stores.  NOTHING.  For over a year!  So I was out at my moms house yesterday getting all that Stuff ready to be painted for my new house (that is supposed to be done in 2 weeks :)  When I opened up a door to a room that should never be looked in at the wood shop (seriously my parents are the cleanest freaks out there but this room was AWFUL.  You could SMELL the mouse poop as soon as the door was opened.  NASTY)

Anyway so my mom was like "Hey theres the crib that all 7 of you kids slept in."  I calmly asked if it was solid on the ends?  Mom said "I have no idea"  So I proceeded to peak around all the crap that covered up the crib and lo and behold IT WAS!  Seriously!  I am so excited. It looks just like the piece on the left in the picture (both sides do)

I was in hog heaven.  So now that piece is all sanded and will get a lovely coat of white paint and some chalkboard paint/wood.  Hopefully without the girls seeing it.

Welcome Back!  can't wait to see what you all have been up to this week!  I was able to paint 2 rooms in the house that we are building.  Its so exciting!  I am taking pictures of each step and next week I will share with you once we get it just how we want it.

Some FAB Necklaces

This last week I saw 2 necklaces that I thought were to DIE for.  The first is from Of Pinks and Fairies.  The necklace is unbreakable.  I definitely need one like it!  Seriously!

The next one is from Blue Cricket.  Its an Awesome Fabric covered button necklace.  LOVELY!

Do you have any favorite necklace tutorials?  I would LOVE to see them. 

Construction Week 9

Our house really is coming along.  We are getting down to the wire.  I have a TON of furniture that I have bought off of Craigslist that I am painting.  I want to make sure that I get it all done BEFORE we are ready to move in.

We are also painting 2 of the rooms (the girls room and the master bedroom) the next 2 days. I don't know if I told you all last week but they called and let us know that they are 2 weeks ahead of schedule (in a 90 day schedule that is HUGE!)  So we are pumped for sure!

Here's the pictures from this week.  Kinda a boring week.  Just painting.
