Letter "K"

It's been a year since we moved into our new house.  And all year my 4yr old has been asking "mommy when are you going to finish my room".  Poor guy! I did my oldest son's room a month or so after we moved in, sorry no pictures.  It was before we started blogging.  Anyway, I kept telling him, his was next, but I would start other projects. Naughty mommy!!!  So I have started his room, it is almost finished and I will be blogging about a few items that I made or redid.  So stay tuned for his dresser transformation and the big before and after room reveal.

But for now a little wall art I made out of a piece of scrap plywood that I had.

From this angle you really can't tell that it's a board, looks more like I painted a blue rectangle on the wall.  But I promise I did use a board.  FYI- My son picked out the colors of his room.  Will let you know the colors when I do the big reveal.

To cover the sides of the board, I found this Toy Story ribbon.  It matched perfectly!

So there you have it! Cheap, but not cheap looking wall art!  ****Candie****

Plastic Planter Pot, To Something....well a complete fail

So I was at Walmart the other day and spotted this planter pot.

Got it for $8 and was just what I was looking for.  My poor plant had by far outgrown it's other pot.  Anyway, I got it home and replanted my plant.

Boring........ to plain!  Not to mention so much green! So I thought I'll dress it up by putting blue and brown lines around it.  Well, of course this is not so easy since I already put the darn plant in it, but I tried.  Taping this off....well, didn't work real well, so in the end I ended up putting a wavy line at the bottom with circles.  Not what I was envisioning, but I guess it works for now. At least it's got color, right?!?!?

Ya, ya, I know your thinking that stinks doesn't look that cool.  Well I agree, but since it was my latest project and a complete fail, I thought I'd share.  I'm not embarrassed!****Candie****
