Play Kitchen??

I found this cute little cabinet that is in good shape at a yard sale this past weekend for $2.00!! When I saw it, my mind instantly went to-ooh that would make a great play kitchen. But now that I have it home I am confused as to what to do with it. I still think a kitchen would be adorable but I am wondering if I should just make this piece the stove and oven and find another piece of furniture for the sink?

I would love your opinions!!

$10.00 Challenge

I FAILED!!! Me and my sister set out this weekend to see what we could get for $10.00, good idea in theory I thought. Turns out I can't pass up a deal to save my life. I thought it would be fun to post pictures of our $10.00 challenge each week and then show you guys through out the week how I incorporate my finds into my home decor. Sounds fun right?

  

All together I spent $15.85, oops!! I got some great deals and cant wait to show you what I did with them!!
Scroll down to the next post to see what I did to the tables!

What A Beauty

$10.00 Challenge #1
I love weekends!! They mean yard sales and I love me a good deal!! I picked these two awesome side tables for.... $1.00 each!! I was so excited, I knew they would be perfect in my sister's house. They were a little beat up on the top but they are solid wood and I knew that they were meant to be black!! I snagged them up in the blink of an eye. 

Before:
 


After:
 This was my first ever furniture refinishing project and I must say I think it turned out amazing!!
Just looks at those lines!! I know it looks like we missed some spots, we didn't, I don't know why the pictures look like that!
I can't wait to redo some more furniture!!

Subway Art...

Vintage Style!!
I was needing a change in my front room and I love all the vintage windows that I have seen around. I was browsing through an antique store and saw this huge window sitting there for 7 bucks, yes that's right,
  7 bucks!! That my friends is an amazing deal so I snatched it right up knowing exactly what I was going to do. I simply added some vinyl lettering that describes our family and I left some extra space on purpose so  that I can add to it over time. I absolutely love how it turned out and I get so many compliments on it when people come into our house. I plan on changing the pictures that are on the sides to ones that are more candid and not posed but for now it makes me smile everytime I walk by it! 


I just have to end this post with a shout out to my amazing dad and sister who last week for my birthday made me some amazing presents!! 

My dad made me two of these beautiful tables and I absolutely love them!! He made some for my mom and when I saw them I begged him to make me some and I was so happy when they gave them to me! 

My little sis is an amazing artist, I am really jealous of her!! She made me these two vases and I love that they are totally unique and that they fit so well in my house!!
