Kids table and chairs & Bonus Holiday wreath

Remember this..Well we finally got around to painting it. We started with it white but I quickly realized that white as a children's table was a bad idea. Plus, it stood out like a sore thumb in our living room since nothing else is white. So it got painted black. Then after a random trip into Michael's where I scored these kids chairs on clearance I was STOKED!

These are what the chairs looked like pre-paint. Don't mind the ornaments..that was another do it yourself. See that hanger..I bent it into a circle and strung those ornaments on it. Picture to come!

A little sanding..a little painting and we have ourselves a new kids table. It's adorable and I have some plans to customize it a bit..stay tuned.

DIY starburst mirror

 DIY Starburst Mirror

Supplies

3 packs of dowel rods from Hobby Lobby @ $2.49 each

1 mirror from Michaels @ $4.99

Hot glue gun

compass

wall mount (I used the same type that are on the back of picture frames)

Spray paint (optional)

 I staggered my sticks into three different levels. I drew a circle with a compass to know where to glue each one. I then alternated and hot glued each stick down until the mirror was complete. Then I hot glued a wall mount to hang it. This was SO easy!

I still plan on spray painting it but haven't made it out to get the right color yet. I will just cover the mirror with paper and tape it down and spray away.I think it looks pretty good and "natural" without the spray paint too!

Art Holders

Puntins has an art corner in our kitchen. She has a little table (the project next on my list...) and a crap ton of art stuff. She colors CONSTANTLY so I wanted something cute but accessible she could grab her stuff without me having to drop everything to open our child proof art cabinet ;). So in comes cans with scrap paper wrapped around it. I made sure the cans were NOT sharp and just taped the scrap paper on it . Easy and voila! Cuteness!

next up...this table needs a paint job and a new matching chair.

hello sander!
