Projects!!

Since Utah has very long winters, and I have babies that have to stay inside during the winter...I have plenty of time to do projects around the house. Now, that doesn't mean that I actually do them! (ask my husband), but lately I have been a little more motivated in trying to get some new projects done...and I must say I am quite pleased with the results... So first we have curtains I made for the sliding glass door that goes outside. We've had verticle blinds there for a while, but they just did not do anything for the space...so the curtains really compliment the other colors in the room...and dress it up!

Okay, so I can't fit a calendar in my kitchen anywhere, and we have a huge laundry room near the kitchen, so I decided to make some good use of the space by doing a magnet board and putting the boys backpacks underneath. It's simple, but cute! And now I have my calendar easily accessible!

Okay, this is not something I made, but rather something I recieved from my sister whose sister-in-law makes these. They are diaper/wipes holders. Made from a huggies wipes case that you put in your diaper bag. So one side opens to the wipes, and the other side has a pocket with diapers...so clever!!! I decided to try and make one myself so I can start making them for my friends who are having babies...So this one is mine that was a gift...I love it!

And so here is the first one I have made! It is my trial/error one. it turned out pretty cute I think!! And now I am going to make a whole bunch more for my friends having babies...

And finally I painted the wall with the fireplace on it and we added some complimentary decorative pillows and other accents in the room. I love the color and how it turned out. it totally changed the entire look of the room. It's been fun!
