Dolly high chair

My Girlfriend had this high chair when she was a little girl and gave it to my daughter. It had some sad worn out cats on it and was pretty banged up. I refinished the wood and found a great pic of little Victorian girls playing with their dolls online. I printed it and burnt the edges and then decoupouged it on. I then gave the whole thing 2 good coats of poly. It looks so vintage now. My daughter loves it.

Hope Chest Redo

Hope Chest that I redid. I sanded this thing forever and then stained it and hand painted the flowers on then gave it 3 coats of poly. Love how it turned out. It's from the 30's or 40's and I love it.

Living room wall hanging

I took some paint and edged the plates with silver. Then I spray painted 2 plates solid metallic silver. I painted the shadow boxes and distressed them a bit. (Still want to get something to put in them)

Family Tree

With $2.00 in contact paper from Dollar Store and Dollar Store Picture frames that I painted I made this family tree display for our family room. I used a Circut machine to cut out the flowers but you could also trace them from a cookie cutter and then I just cut the branches free hand.

Toy Box

Toy Box Overhaul! Found a toy box in the garbage, took it home sanded it, painted it white and then printed off pictures of toys that my husband and I and my kids have all played with and decoupaged them onto the top lid. Turned out so awesome!

Valentine's Cards for my kids classes. I took a picture of them holding their hand closed and then on the computer added the hearts and text. I sent them off to Walgreens and when I got them back I cut a small slit at the top and bottom of their hand and then slid in a tootsie roll pop sucker! They turned out awesome!

Another revamp! I got these chairs and couch that were chocolate brown stained from the 70's with golden yellow chenille seats. I reupholstered them and painted them white. They turned out awesome!

I found this lovely wall decal online. Only problem it was $80! Way too much for a sticker I thought. Later that month I was in the Dollar Store and saw contact paper! I bought 2 rolls and I got my $80 wall decal that I loved so much for just $2.00!
This is the $80 version
This is my $2.00 version!
