After deciding that I didn't want to buy (can't afford) a new entertainment center, I settled on re-doing some kind of dresser for storage. <br /><br />Surprisingly, it really didn't take too long to find a good deal with lots of drawers.<br />I found this dresser at a local flea market for only 50 bucks! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3kutcrZj22I/TekRdNsnSgI/AAAAAAAAAMA/N_F66EVBBbA/s1600/IMG_0048.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3kutcrZj22I/TekRdNsnSgI/AAAAAAAAAMA/N_F66EVBBbA/s320/IMG_0048.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614037604084697602" /></a><br /><br />All I did was sand it down, repaint, and distress!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XrnnGnXXBAE/Tekb9D9b-LI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/IklBVW3MtnY/s1600/DSC02808.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XrnnGnXXBAE/Tekb9D9b-LI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/IklBVW3MtnY/s320/DSC02808.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614049146342996146" /></a><br /><br />I got the cute knobs at World Market, and the pulls at Target.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IycZw7VIuWE/Tekb8vIxg5I/AAAAAAAAAMI/6btxncdq9Jg/s1600/DSC02805.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IycZw7VIuWE/Tekb8vIxg5I/AAAAAAAAAMI/6btxncdq9Jg/s320/DSC02805.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614049140753400722" /></a><br /><br />It's not a huge transformation, but I like it and it has tons of storage!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204740878687640203noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135043354946368775.post-71203355578905371312011-06-02T06:54:00.000-07:002011-06-02T09:17:37.225-07:00Something Borrowed, Something BlueI've decided to focus my attention to one room at a time in the new house, so I've only gotten to the living room (I'm really slow). I guess if I'm averaging 6 months on each room it'll be 2016 before this place is completely lived-in. Yikes...<br /><br />My first project for this room was the coffee tables.

It's super old and I'm pretty sure she found it at a flea market somewhere, but it did the trick for a preschooler! Unfortunately it's not of much use to anyone else...and let's just be real. It's ugly.<br /> <br /><br />I still can't figure out how to put pictures underneath text or in a specific order that I want, so I can explain what I did down here....under all the pictures.<br /><br />First, I pulled out all the nasty pink material on the inside.<br />Then I spray painted the whole box with black.<br />And finally I used scrapbooking paper and Mod Podge to cover it!<br /><br />I really like the final look, now if only I could figure out this silly blogging thing!!!!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204740878687640203noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135043354946368775.post-61293057088421962992010-09-07T12:47:00.000-07:002010-09-07T13:28:08.257-07:00CraftinessNow that Ryan's back in school everyday, I'm alone all day 4 days out of the week with nothing to do. Needless to say I'm in desperate need of a hobby. My problem is follow-through.<br /><br />Here are some hobby ideas that I've tried ad dropped in the last month:<br /> 1. cleaning-FAIL<br /> 2. cooking-FAIL<br /> 3. reading-bored with it (for now). I'm actually just a little depressed after finishing<br /> the Hunger Games series.<br /> 4. outdoor activities-major FAIL. It is so blazing hot right now!<br /><br />So, most recently I've really gotten into crafts...as in the idea of being crafty. As in, I haven't actually done anything crafty yet. As in, I really just look around on the internet for crafty ideas, and never get to the actually DOING part.<br /><br />BUT I think I've finally found a project that I can start with!<br /><br />My plan is to mod podge a jewelry box that I got from my grandmother. Sounds easy, right??<br />We'll see....<br /><br />(I will put pictures up when I figure out how to get them where I want them)Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204740878687640203noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135043354946368775.post-18524402353020476682010-08-28T19:49:00.000-07:002010-09-07T12:46:46.452-07:00Catching Up<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TIaWg3dRDNI/AAAAAAAAACw/1IXUCtqKGkw/s1600/DSC02131.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TIaWg3dRDNI/AAAAAAAAACw/1IXUCtqKGkw/s320/DSC02131.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514260285148433618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TIaWKUyiQiI/AAAAAAAAACo/YyWUUleE_Ss/s1600/DSC02127.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TIaWKUyiQiI/AAAAAAAAACo/YyWUUleE_Ss/s320/DSC02127.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514259897885278754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TIaVof8NXoI/AAAAAAAAACg/sC6zA8RUwRA/s1600/DSC02165.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TIaVof8NXoI/AAAAAAAAACg/sC6zA8RUwRA/s320/DSC02165.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514259316763090562" border="0" /></a><br />Only one month in to blogging and I'm already bad at it!<br /><br />These are some pictures from our trip to Orlando.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204740878687640203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135043354946368775.post-62677266691788214182010-07-21T18:40:00.000-07:002010-07-21T19:12:42.324-07:00Dress Code News FlashRyan and I have been on a mini vacation for the last few days with some friends from Oklahoma. We've been at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure for the last 4 days, and in the process I've had a chance to see the newest fashion trends.<br /><br />Apparently 2010 is the year of butt cheeks and bra straps. Don't get me wrong, I like <a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/">VS</a> as much as the next girl, but I'd prefer not to see anyone else's underwear color choice of the day while waiting in line at Seuss Landing.<br /><br />I was definitely amazed at the get-ups that some people were wearing, and now I officially feel like an old person for judging the way teens are dressing these days.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204740878687640203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135043354946368775.post-78925409813403061032010-07-17T17:04:00.000-07:002010-07-17T17:30:50.652-07:00summer in pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJKdjandgI/AAAAAAAAABc/N4j2oYolmsM/s1600/DSC02086.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJKdjandgI/AAAAAAAAABc/N4j2oYolmsM/s320/DSC02086.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495036366928967170" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJKR5iKkvI/AAAAAAAAABU/HKka841jyls/s1600/DSC02065.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJKR5iKkvI/AAAAAAAAABU/HKka841jyls/s320/DSC02065.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495036166707778290" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJJ8zqGylI/AAAAAAAAABM/PBn7Gm6X-g0/s1600/DSC02046.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJJ8zqGylI/AAAAAAAAABM/PBn7Gm6X-g0/s320/DSC02046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495035804353219154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJJsqiQKAI/AAAAAAAAABE/MXc7RJwaY4A/s1600/DSC02035.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJJsqiQKAI/AAAAAAAAABE/MXc7RJwaY4A/s320/DSC02035.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495035527026452482" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJIquQLcrI/AAAAAAAAAA0/qKVuvr66Q9o/s1600/DSC01964.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJIquQLcrI/AAAAAAAAAA0/qKVuvr66Q9o/s320/DSC01964.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495034394153022130" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJIc3MmYiI/AAAAAAAAAAs/bC3CPwXbMfo/s1600/DSC01962.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qL4kjy4RuSc/TEJIc3MmYiI/AAAAAAAAAAs/bC3CPwXbMfo/s320/DSC01962.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495034156035760674" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Summer 2010<br /><br />It's my first summer as a working girl, so it hasn't been too terribly eventful.
