Little Projects

Last weekend we had people over for Jeff's 25th Birthday.  Because of that it made me do a couple little projects around the house.  I started by finding a home for my Make Up Brushes.  I have my make up room/crafts room that is starting to come along.  Jeff painted it a couple of weekends ago now the rest is all up to me.  I am turning a old desk into a vanity.  I never realized how much a new vanity was so I am taking a $20 desk and painting it.  I will be doing that project in the next couple of months :)

This was a bowl from my candy bar at our wedding.  I also have tons of coffee being that 2 family members work at Starbucks.  The brown looks great with my Tiffany colored walls :)  Whole project cost $0 It was all stuff I had laying around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember when I talked about doing something with the old windows Thomas found me.  Well I figured out what to do with them.  

Here are the windows before.  We used the one on the right it was in a little better shape. 

Here it is measured out with the new picture. It is looking great. 

Here it is up on the wall all finished.  Total cost for project $20 for a 20 x 30 picture.

 Another little project we did was get rid of paper towels.  I realized that paper towels are very expensive.  We were using about a roll a week between just Jeff and me.  A roll of paper towel is about a $1 a roll so we are trying this instead.  Jeff really had no choice I just did it.  We bought bar towel from target 6 for $3.  These so far are working out for us.  If we have a really bad spill I still have paper towels but they are put away. 

Here they are in a jar from the wedding candy bar.  I think they look and work great.  Total cost of the project $6
