house make over continues

these shelves I got at Joanns
they were only six bucks
I forgot to take a before picture
but they started off that new light wood color
so we just painted them black to match the living room.



I am so happy with the way it all turned out!
love it:)
The HOPE picture frames I made
you can see here how

sad sad entertainment center

MEET MY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER...
sad right



we pulled out the nasty back with the old holes in it


I got this paper at Joanns
LOVE IT
70% recycled and so cute


...so i know this looks crazy but just
rip up a ton of your favorite papers


get out the good ol mod podge


place them super randomly


here is a after picture
you can also see my happy couch in this shot


yay does that look so much better or what

sad couch...happy couch

Meet my sad couch


Its a very nice couch I <3 it
however it is sooo low...
it lost its legs


My mother thought we should put it on stilts!!
so we went and got some fabric for a ruffle
so we could raise it:)


we cut seven inch strips


we had to make room to sew in a
very tight space.


mom introduced me to a new best friend...
Ashley + heat n bond = love


this is the couch flipped over..
pinning the ruffle on





It was harder for me cause I am a weakling..


HAPPY COUCH

mama and tyger

ahhhh I LOVE him SO much!!!

HOPE



I saw these HOPE picture frames on HERE!
I fell in love with them:) so I wanted to do them but
to fit my house:) I had no idea what burlap even was tell I
saw her post!! and it totally fits the vibe of my house SOOO
I think I may have to make the pillows like she does HERE!



I got these nasty picture frames at the dollar store..
 they just needed a little paint, so I painted them black!!!
cut my burlap to match the inside of the
frames..in this case 8.5 by 11 in


Then I drew out the word HOPE
and cut it out on some black fabric:)
It doesn't show it in the picture but I pinned
the letters down...... makes life easier
then sew your letters on to the burlap.
AND I GOT .............
THIS as my final project!
also I didn't keep the glass in
the frames...don't know why I just liked that
look better I suppose:)

SO thanks Humble Homemaker
totally LOVE your blog and creativity
