DIY Fevahhhh

  Well the DIY bug has hit. HARD.  

My oldest graduated High School.  Gulp.  

So we had a big party.  Double Gulp.

 I made these cute little flags for the party.

They are her college colors and we are loving them.

It was super fun and easy.

I made a ton of bows for our party to go on the vases at the table.

It took for -eva to learn how to do it!

So the next week when we had a wedding... I proudly slapped this together.

The back yard is coming along.  

We had such trouble with our grass growing so my dad and I mulched it all.

We have been adding plants like crazy but it's super shady.

Loving our little fire pit in the back.

Then the boy and I had been planning to make a cat tower for years.

We looked around.

Those things aren't cheap!

Here's one at Pet Smart we thought we could try.

Here is bubs...

Cutting the wood was his favorite

Here is the finished product.  Adding that carpet is HARD! 

The kitties like it pretty well.  

Our hammock on the top didn't work out but we plan to change that.

Then we did the Moss Avenue Sale with my parents

They have two antique booths in towns nearby and clear it out once a year.

It's such a fun day to hang out with them and to shop.

 At work I wanted to try to save some money on some lamps for a group home.

I went to a local thrift store and planned to try the Pintrest lamp DIY.

I bought 7 lamps for $40

Here's the one I painted Glossy white.

I added a white lamp shade but I think a patterned or colored one would look better.

We keep the rooms neutral there though so it will have to do.

Here's one I did for us.  I have two matching. 

They are glossy black and the shades are oval.

It's hard to tell in the photo.

I really love them.

They turned out so well and I am even more exited to re-do our room!

Last I found this jewel for $5.99

It's in my garage now half done because I ran out of spray paint.

 I have plans to paint it all weather and have it out back for the radio and as a serving cart.

It will be done by the weekend because I can't stand it.

Next we start on Hannah's room....

That has created quite a buzz on my Pinterest boards!

We're thinking Chevron...and yellow....and navy.... and gray

 STAY TUNED.
