It came with some minor damage, but after a humidifier leaked, it wreaked havoc on the top...
Well, crap!
This gave me the opportunity to finally do something fun with this dresser.

Dapper Dresser
We picked up this free Kijiji dresser almost a year ago. It was the perfect size for M's room. Plus, it has mid-century lines that I love.

Mini Project: Making Contact
Mini Project time!
Enter our 12 year old night stand tables. They've moved to three new houses, even trekking across the country. And because of this, they are in pretty sad shape now.
And since they are in sad shape, it is perfect item to try something fun and cost-effective.

Sewing 101: Fringe Benefits
I had an "I can do that" moment... but then again... don't we all?
Whether it is criticizing your favorite sports team from your couch or seeing a Jackson Pollack painting, there is always someone who is arrogant enough to think they can do it too.
But, people... I really did think I could do this one. It is super cute and age appropriate and you can purchase it. See link below.

But I made it! I did it!

Pumpkin Carving: Pinterest Method Review
Pinterest is a great source for all sorts of things, including ways to carve your pumpkin.
With that in mind, we spend the weekend trying various methods and aesthetics that we found on Pinterest. Here is our review.
1. Beating the inside of the pumpkin.
What: Bring on the power tools, and egg beaters!

Hallowe'en Costume Repurposed
A few years ago our friends had an adorable costume made for our 1 year old. Being horror fans, they knew that we would absolutely put our daughter in a Freddy Kruger costume.
We of course had to complement that costume with other classic horror characters.
So, what do we with this awesome knitted onesie?

Smokey and the Bedroom
Our master bedroom is a work in progress. I found these great lamps that I refurbished, see post about that here... but it still needed something. Artwork!
So, I ask my husband what he thinks; what would he like to see at the head of the bed?

Mini Project: Kitty Batman
Mini Project time!
My husband received this gift from a funny friend. He got a laugh out of it, but ultimately, the shirt would just sit in his dresser, never worn.
