Be Happy

Be Happy - When life's problems seem overwhelming, look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself fortunate. Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are. God is Love Rev Run

Gooooo get em!!!!- inspiration from Rev Run .....and a Table

This old rusty table came out of my dear friend Jo's shed. Some primer and a fresh coat of paint and this table is new.

So occasionally when my brother is chilling out and watching the Rev Run show on MTV, I'll watch it with him. I don't remember the name of the show but I love his quotes he sends out to all of his friends:

Good morning Its a new week! A good day! Walk with an extra boost of energy. Ride the crest of the wave that extra mile! Things will play in your style if you smile! Its all about your attitude! Goooooo get em!!!!God is Love Rev Run

Old Map

I was looking to put this map somewhere until I took it to my booth. I kind of like it here now-maybe I'll keep it. I could have a million zillion maps in my house-Jo-thank you-I might just keep it.

Headboard

This door has been sitting in my dining room area for about two months now-I had been planning on making it into a headboard and finally got to it. I used black pleather that I have had for a long time and some upholstery tacks. My poor pillows-This bed gets jumped on a lot by two little people you have seen in my previous posts. I think I'll hang some art work above it at our next place.

Frannie's butterflies

Well I finally finished some art to go above Frannie's bed. Oscar has the rocket and I wanted to continue the metal look over to her side of the room. I cut some bed sideboards/screwed some metal flashing on/painted the squares and then deco. 'd the vintage butterfly pics.

Art Nook

I finally got some of the kids art work hung(as we are moving soon). I wanted to show our little art center. I found the ikea cubbie at a yard sale and painted it with chalkboard paint. My favorite kids art is Oscar's spider he drew at 2 and half yrs. old-He drew it after reading the "Little Critter" books.

homemade swing

I saw a homemade swing in an old potterybarn teen catalogue. So...I had to make one for my little man. The piece of wood we found at the beach.

Growth Chart

Frannie and Oscar helped paint the sides and back of the growth chart. Frannie spent a little longer just doodling and talking to herself as she painted layers apon layers of paint. I just let her do her thing because I knew she was having fun. I put alum. flashing on top of the piece of wood and then stapled an old tape measure to it.
