Home Decor

It's been a while, but I am FINALLY posting some of the crafts I have been up to since moving in to the new place.



Before & After


Dressers
This used to be an unfinished pressed board dresser. I used White gloss paint and grey on the top to match the taller dresser. I also replace the knobs with glass ones.


I painted this a dark grey to go with the curtains. I think this is at least the 4th color this dresser has been!
Wall Art
I used canvases glued fabric with a hot glue gun around the edges.

New Office! (kinda)

I have been lucky enough lately to not only get a promotion but to have some construction done to my office to make it a little more use friendly. I was motivated to make some new things to spruce it up a little too.

Frames/Prints
I was inspired by a blog I saw that had a cute frame and a PDF you could print of a quote. It seemed like an easy enough DIY project.

I bought some frames at Goodwill (I forgot to take a complete before picture!) The frames were all different, some were wood, metal, gold, etc. I used black spray paint to make sure they all had that in common but really liked the different textures and sizes.


 
I then created the prints in Photoshop with fun background patterns and quotes that were career related (without being too cheesy!)


Desk Organizer:
I also bought a plain wooden desk organizer that I painted white and lime green:

The final results of the pictures will be posted soon!
