Refurbished antique chandelier

This was a chandelier my late mom gave to my sister. There was a pair of them and she gave one to me.  I removed all the crystals and spray painted the brass in oil rubbed bronze.  I ordered new silver prism pins and sprayed those as well.  Finally I repinned and reassembled the chandelier. This was a time consuming and tedious project but I love it in the kitchen!

Kid kitchen DIY

I love this kitchen. I made this play kitchen for my 4 year old daughter.  The refrigerator I got from a garage sale.  The tv stand was from a garage sale as well.  I used a jig saw to cut the circle for the sink (a bowl) and a cheap faucet. The knobs are from hobby lobby.  I painted the burners with chalk paint then put a cup on them and sprayed silver.  The curtain was hand sewn.  For the stove I just removed the knob and attached a handle at top.  I painted the door of the stove with chalk paint as well.  Most of  the accessories are from good will or thrift stores. The aprons are hand made as well. Turned out super cute I hope she gives it to her daughter one day!

Cheap play room decor

Most of our play room decor is functional or things we repurposed.  We used old nursery pics, handprint plates, the kids toy bags on hooks, hand print and footprint canvases, and my favorite, the ikea clothes line with the kids' artwork!  All simple and very inexpensive!

DIY child workbench

Made this for my 2 year old son from an old nightstand.  Added cork on top and peg board. Very simple and inexpensive!

Dining room turned playroom

With 3 small children who needs a dining room?  With French doors separating the room from the living room and the kitchen it is a perfect play room. When it's a mess I just shut the doors!  The cube  shelving I  got at ikea on clearance ( assembled which is key).  The rest is just toys. I will post play room  wall decor in a separate blog post :).

Entry

This is An old piece from my grandma's that I roughed up a bit. The frames I got on clearance and painted off white. Those I antiqued as well with the sanding block. I drilled holes and hung with ribbon.  Pretty simple and very cheap!
