Weekend Warrior Project - Guest post by Shanda Neighbors

I tend to be an all or nothing kinda gal. I'm either doing everything, or nothing at all. This weekend due to the weather and the time change, I was in do everything mode. 
We bought a house a just over a year ago. It was a foreclosure and the task of making it home on a tiny budget was frankly, overwhelming. For the longest time I did nothing... but complain. In the last few months though, the idea of starting small has gained momentum. I decided I'd tackle my "projects" one at a time. This weekend's project was to make a french mid century modern chest in the master bedroom reflective of the people that share that room. Sounds simple, but my husband taste is more like this:
Now doesn't that just scream MAN!!!! The problem is my taste is more like this:


I'll admit it, this is feminine. So how do I make us both happy? How do I take this:



and make it reflect us both? This is what I came up with:







It was a lot of work, but I like the results. This dresser has a mate, any guesses what (God willing) this weekend's project will be?

Cherio!

Fashion Forward Easy Fix For Bare Walls



 I saw this ingenious idea a few days ago and I am so excited to try it!  Who knew that framed magazine covers could look so amazing.  I am a bit of a magazine collector myself so I have lots of them.  Naturally, I am always on the lookout for innovative ways to preserve and display them. This is perfect!  




Months ago I wrote a post Tearin It Up Decoupage Style! in which I discovered 
how to recycle some of my magazines into Art.  I liked it so much that I made 
many pieces of Art, and now it is a real passion. Who knows what'll happen 
with this.... 




What do you think? 


Cherio!
