Old Desk Turned Play Kitchen

I found an old hunk o' veneer desk at a garage sale for $15. With some power tools, elbow grease and a couple coats of paint (along with shopping sewing and begging...) we turned the ugly desk into a play kitchen for our toddler.

A Shabby Happy Desk

I picked up this little desk from a great family. After a little paint, some new stain and a white wash, it looked like a brand new desk. The favorite part is definitely the cute little stool.

Our $850 Kitchen Renovation

We were tired of living with our builder grade kitchen (and faded cabinets) but didn't have the budget to completely overhaul things. We pinched every penny that we could, while still ...»
giving the kitchen the more modern feel that we wanted. By painting the cabinets, laying our own backsplash tile, working with the counter top we had, building our own table, thrifting new accessories, and selling some of our old stuff, we were able to complete this whole reno for just over $850.

Many more photos along with a complete budget breakdown and links to all of the kitchen projects are available at http://www.aswellplacetodwell.com/2012/10/ki...

Owl Applique Tree Skirt

I am totally in love with Owls right now! I had to make a tree skirt this year with them on it. I used recycled wool sweaters mostly from garage sales, I created the design and used Adobe ...»
Illustrator to make an SVG file so that I could cut them out using my cricut machine. I cut out heat n bond, Iron it to the sweater and hand cut the actual sweater. Then once the skirt is all made and the ruffle is sewn into place, I add on the owls. This is one of my favorite creations! I am so excited to be making christmas stuff already! These skirts are available at www.thelittlegreenbena.etsy.com
