Goodbye High-Waters!

 Before:

After: 

I noticed that my curtains were really, according to the Nester, high-waters.  I finally stopped procrastinating and purchased ring clips for them.  Ahhh...much better!

*In case you are wondering why I have a middle section consisting of two panels, it's because it's actually two seperate windows and casings.  I think it would look strange to have the narrow piece of wall showing between the two casings. 

DIY: From Easter to Useful

I took two baskets from Easter and spray painted them to make them useful!

  I now use one of the baskets to throw used handtowels in between washings :D

Yes, I see blue too!  But you know what?  I didn't see it before I got down low and took the picture...and that's okay!

Wooden Mail Organizer

I bought this from TJ Maxx or Marshalls a couple of years ago, before I was even engaged to be married. I fell in love when I saw it. I was so tempted to buy each matching piece. I absolutely LOVED the color, but found when I got married that it really didn't suit our home. It's kind of a minty green.

So I spray painted it red (Cherry Red in gloss by Red Devil - Big Lots)! My husband REALLY loves it and so do I! It matches our decor perfectly and sits on the kitchen counter to hold our mail. I will eventually go back and distress it, but for now I'm just enjoying the color and usefulness of it!


Of course, if I ever wanted to change it back or to a different color, all I have to do is paint it!
