Kitchen #2
I got this one for free from my cousin, refinished it to give to my MIL for her play room. It was originally meant to be a cupboard and I just painted burners on it to be an oven.


AFTER

Memorial Weekend
We went to SA for the weekend. We had a fun trip to the zoo
with counsin Hudson and the family.



The giraffe was eating...bummer.

So I was supposed to be taking it easy this weekend. BUT it is so hard not to use free time to get projects finished or started. I found this wooden kitchen at a yard sale for $11.00. Meagan and I spent the afternoon refurbishing it to make it more appealing.
Above: This is the before picture.

We took it apart and spray painted the knobs and hinges silver.


And we painted the whole unit a robin egg blue, stenciled new black burners on top and put it all back together. I also put some cute polk-a-dot contact paper on the shelves. We put a piece of plexi-glass on the opening in the door (it was free b/c it was a scrap piece...score!)

And here is the finished product.


Now we are hoping that Uncle Josh will make some vinyl decorations for the knobs and such. :-)

Lane loves Fireflies by OwlCity. When she says, "Mommy, my song," we all know which song she means. It is pretty cute watching her face light up and shake her booty for the entire song. Sorry the video is sideways...attempts to post it right side up failed..and failed...and failed. I gave up.

Awesome Yard Sale Find and A Little Flowers and Sunshine

I got the red wagon for $10 at a yard sale on Saturday. Lane
L-O-V-E-S it! So much that she cries when I make her get out and come inside.

This is our backyard flower bed before planting.

And here it is after planting

And here is Lane helping...and playing in the dirt.
