Dollhouse Bookshelf

I love this sweet little(actually very big) bookcase. This is another wood working project that I put the hubs to work on:o) He was actually very proud of this one. I got the plans from Knock Off Wood. It took the duration of Saturday and some of Sunday afternoon to finish the bookcase.  I painted it on Monday and had it in her room by Tuesday. The white paint came from Walmart. Kilz brand. The pink paint I had on hand left over from painting the mural...yes I painted it, but don't tell anyone:o) I found this mural online, loved it, and halfway thru painting it, I realized I was "copying" someone else's work...oops! Well it's not like I am trying to sell it or anything....

The tree blowing over the dollhouse looks intentional, but it was by pure decorating accident. I love it!

 

I love the little window cut-outs. The kids love the bookshelf, even though it's for S.R.:o) They have been playing with it everyday since it's debut:o) I know that it will get lots of lovin' for years to come!!

Roman Shades(the death of me)

 

These curtains have been the bane of my existence. I bought this fabric from Hobby Lobby thinking that I was going to make curtains for the living room. When I got home, I realized that they didn't match my rug:o( But they did match my bedroom perfectly. I found some beautiful curtains in a magazine, and they even had step by step instructions on how to make them. So I figured I would give them a shot. I kept putting off making them b/c #1 I was sick of making curtains and #2 I spent waaaay too much money on the fabric and cording, and I was afraid to cut it. So after weeks of letting it sit, I finally buckled down and started sewing. I ran into so many road blocks...not having enough cording, sewing things the wrong way, ripping seams for hours...extremely frustrating...but they are done and I am very happy:o) Just in time for the big party:o)

Close-up of the fabric...I really like it, just hated every minute of sewing it..
 

Close-up of the cording...21 yards of it:o{

Pottery Barn Kids Knock-Off Activity Table

 

I have been dying to share this project with you!!! The hubs and I put this puppy together(well, mostly the hubs). However, I did cut a few boards on the miter saw, pre-drilled some holes and screwed some screws in, so technically it was a team effort;o) I found the plans for this table here at Knock Off Wood. We went to Lowes and had the guys there cut all the wood to size for us. This made things A LOT easier. We used pine, and pine from Lowes isn't always the best, so you really have to dig around for wood that isn't warped, and I  would definitely take a tape measure with you. The wood isn't always the dimensions that the little tag says it is. 

 

We did things slightly different than the plans called for. The PBK drawers have a little cut-out at the top to make rolling out easier. The hubs is going to put some handles on the drawer fronts this evening. We needed to give the poly a little more time to dry.

  

  I had planned in the beginning to paint the surround and drawers black and stain the top. The staining looked terrible, so I painted it with some brown paint I had lying around. The plans also called for a raised lip on the edge of the table. We just left it flush with the table top, more out of laziness than anything else:o)

  

Now the kids don't have to go to the bathroom floor to play with their blocks, Lincoln Logs, and their train tracks...I know you're digging the Lincoln Log train town I set up for your viewing pleasure:o)
