Ok so being a stay at home mom is wonderful, we all know that, but one of the only down sides to that is we get to look around our house ALL day long and see what we need to fix! So I have had a ton of energy lately, kinda like nesting but without the back pains and cute little bundle as a reward at the end. I have been a maniac around here at making and refinishing stuff to make it nicer around here.
So first I did my kitchen chairs. I very simple fix to make mamma smile. I think you can tell which one was the before and after and no, those are not urine stains just your everyday toddler spills.
And it may not not look like much to the naked eye but it is way better than before!!! Here is the total finished dining room....
This is my version of "art work". I made these pictures and I am IN LOVE with them!
A close up of one of the key's....
The before picture of a buffet I found on Craigslist. I was so scared of this ugly mess and wondering if I took on the wrong project for me. But after many hours of hard work and totally letting my kids run wild due to lack of supervision, I got this... 
I am very pleased with it! I antiqued it to give it that french country look that I love.
I made the table runner on the buffet to match my kitchen chairs. Easy, yet satisfying.
A Thanksgiving banner....
And this ugly beast of a mirror, simply disgusting....
It looks way better now. It was not my first choice for a mirror over the buffet, it's too small but for now it will do the trick.
And this bad boy, I think I just threw up in my mouth looking at it! I saw the potential in it.
And as a result I got this! I love it for my entry way. I had no where to put guests purses and coats so, now I do :)
And then in the midst of my craziness I managed to completely throw out any good judgement and got Stella...
She is so cute and cuddly and I love her, when she does not crap in the kennel. Anyway, I am very happy with all the minor adjustments I have made around here and now you know what I have been up too!.jpg)
