Dresser Redo, Laundry Room Makeover & More...

I know I've been MIA for a few days but with good reason.

This is how my weekend went:

Laundry, Laundry & more Laundry!
Ugh... I HATE laundry!


I got the iphone last week & buddy has been all over it! I gotta say I think I have a little computer genius on my hands. He's very good w/the electronic stuff. We were in the Verizon store before I bought the phone & while I was talking to the sales person he picked up the iphone on display, pressed a couple buttons & bam music starts playing! The sales woman just looked at me like "how"? I said, "yup my little computer genius"!


Yes he was singing here.

Rylan discovered Braedon's Diego chair & has been obsessed w/it ever since.

The boys being silly....


On to my spray painting I did this weekend. These were the 2 colors I used.


This dresser was in our hallway holding extra sheets that didn't fit in the linen closet. One of the boys dressers was busted though so I needed to put it in their room. Not before I gave it a paint job. Braedon wanted me to paint it blue.
Here's the before:

And no I didn't take any in between pics, I did sand it down first.
I like how it came out, much better than before! Braedon of course loves it! What do you think?
After:

Next was this basket for the laundry room.
The nasty before:


After:

Here's my laundry room. It's in the basement, where the kids playroom is going to be, if we ever get it finished. We were going to put doors up but I don't have the extra money right now, so I found these curtains at Walmart. They match perfect w/the playroom colors & the laundry room!



Ta Da... I know there's no before pics. But just imagine gross wood paneling on the bottom & really old wallpaper on top. The wallpaper was so old I just painted right over it & you can't even tell! The color I used is Better Homes & Garden's Shadow Green. I really like it, it's not as bright as it looks in this pic! And I'm not totally done, I need to find some cute pics and/or signs to hang.
What do you think?

I also put some new shelves up in the living room but I'll show you all that in a different post.

How did you spend your weekend?

  3. That dresser looks amazing in that color! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am reading thru yours now. I noticed in your profile you don't like bridges - I hear ya! I hate them too. Whenever I have to drive over one, I have to sing the whole time to distract myself!
