A New Look...

I have been living without knobs on this little dresser for quite a while.  I made the 2 green ones on there and hated them but didn't know what I wanted to do (no plan B).  I made these from wood knobs: painted them green and put the 'D' on there & then 'painted' them with resin.  It was miserable work and they didn't turn out at all like I had envisioned (those things happen, right?)  The knobs I did for a dresser in LM's room turned out so cute I figured I was on a roll. HA!




We ran to Michaels yesterday to get a birthday gift for LM's friend and while I was roaming the aisles I found some cute white knobs for 99 cents that I thought might work.


I like the cleaner look they offered.  All of the knobs have a 'B' on them for our last name.  For a kid's room A thru F would have been fun, too.


The price was right & I liked the white on white look.  Upon closer inspection, the 'B' on the knobs looked like it was a sticker or maybe vinyl.  Something I could have done.  If I hadn't closed the September Acres knob factory!  But for less than $6 I think it's a hit!


I do love the all white look.  I am pondering painting some of my wall white even.  Maybe...

I saw those and loved them, but didn't know what combination of letters I would use. How perfect to use the same one!

My Favorite Things....

Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things: David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good. Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12. Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so. Peets Coffee . I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :) Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro

Monday, Monday...

Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t
