American Girl Doll Bed

I made this bed for my neice for Christmas and I finally got pictures of it! (I was finishing it up until I wrapped it up!) She wanted a doll bed for her doll that looked exactly like her bed. We were able to find a doll bed online, but with the $100+ price tag-not a chance! So I was able to modify these plans from Ana White (http://ana-white.com/2011/03/plans/doll-bed-and-trundle)

 

 

Yes, I'm sure my sister will be super happy that I'm showing my neice's messy room! Sorry :)!

to build her bed with mostly scraps I had laying around. So much fun!!

Burlap Footstool

My grandma knows my love to make things beautiful and she also knows that I will take anything given to me for free! And she should know this-she is where I learned everything from! From her, I have learned to garage sale and bid at auctions with the best of them. And of course from my Mom, I have learned to craft and make anything prettier. This is just a small project with supplies received from them both-kind of like a tribute to them! :)

Free.......but UGLY!!

I recovered the ugliness with a coffee sack. I didn't even have to touch the legs. Just take off the old material, staple the new fabric on and its done!!

We use this stool for everything-mostly Mackenzie uses it to sit on it and watch tv.

Wire laundry basket

I needed a new laundry basket so I decided to make one on rollers. I had some leftover fence in the backyard so I cut that down to the size of a large pan that I had in the garage. I made a quick liner out of muslin, added twine as a drawstring, and added wheels. Now it's time to do laundry!!!

DVD Shutter Storage

I have a lot of movies that seem to be ending up all over the place lately and it was driving me crazy! So I put together this storage unit to contain them. I had these great shutters just sitting around, so I added some shelves and it was a done deal. The best part is that the shutters are already aged beautifully!

Have a great day!!

Barn Door Clock

I got this amazing barn door from my Great Grandparents farm years ago. It sat in my garage forever because I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it exactly.

I wanted a wall clock, the big round ones like in the PB catalog....but this is what I ended up with!

Don't you just LOVE the colors of the barn door!!I ordered the wall clock kit online and drilled some holes to set it on the door. Then I painted on the numbers with some black craft paint.

I used some really strong picture hangers and wall anchors. This thing weighs a ton!!
