<br />
I wanted to show the floors we are installing in our house...<br />
<br />
Our carpets out just gross! After 4 kids and 3 dogs they have seen better days. We were going to do the diy plank plywood wood floors that everyone is posting about on Pinterest. Which we have actually done in our bathroom and painted them white.<br />
<br />

But I really wanted real wide plank floors! We search everywhere for wood that was affordable. We found some at a near by lumber yard.. Old barn siding found 160+ boards 16 feet long and 11-12 inches wide. A amazing friend drove his semi truck to get it all with us. :) <img height="240" src="webkit-fake-url://39abac5e-b2fc-49a7-b46b-1c9ea92bdf3b/imagejpeg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
My husband is planing all of them cause even though they are great they need some work <img height="240" src="webkit-fake-url://b3a00932-0723-41c5-84cf-567fac1039ea/imagejpeg" width="320" /><br />
<img height="240" src="webkit-fake-url://5e37feb9-b325-46f8-9082-d3caeef09a7b/imagejpeg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
This project is going to be pretty time consuming but will be so beautiful ad can't wait till its done.<br />
I'm working on stains now and trying, vinegar and steal wool, ashes, normal stain.... You name it I'm trying to get that perfect look. I will keep yall posted on the progress :)<br />

For our 12th anniversary we decided to use our 2 night stay in napa, we had been given by my parents. We stayed at a amazing inn. We asked our close friends Chris and <a href="http://thepinkthread.blogspot.com/">lana</a> to come with us on our trip and they said yes! YAY! We had such a great time and will forever have these wonderful memories of exploring Napa, Yountville, St Helena.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lana is a fashion blogger over at <a href="http://thepinkthread.blogspot.com/">thepinkthread</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a stunning subject to photograph. so i brought my camera along to capture her and our journey. My amazing husband who is NOT a fan of pictures humored us and let us take pictures of him the whole time. Which i told him could just be my annv gift :) i LOVE pictures haha. and thank you chris and for taking our pictures :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We pretty much ate and looked at pretty places the entire time! It was like a food tour :) we ate at OxBow market, Bouchon, Redd woods, Oenotri (our fav), Oakville grocery co, and more. I was able to find lots of yummy gluten free things, which made me and my tummy thrilled. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom let us take her car while she had our mini van ;). So we drove the BMW all around and even got to put the top down in feb. (with the heat blowing full blast mind you ;) haha) Lana and i had our scarves over our heads haha. we listened to wonderful music as we drove through the beautiful wine country. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
These are mostly pictures with my camera but also some fun ones with my phone. hope you enjoy are wonderful journey in pictures :) </div>

So For christmas i got some great stuff. I got a paint sprayer cause i am over my head in furniture needing to be painted! lol i do still love painting by hand but for when i need mass amounts done and chairs this is going to be great! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well we have been (mostly the hubs) on a cleaning the garage kick and put bunches of stuff up in the attic and made some room for a paint booth. The only thing is i wanted it to be able to go away with out having to take a big booth down and then where would i put the torn down booth? SOOO we came up with this and about 7 hours later it was up. here are the steps to making this paint booth. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut your wood the length you need </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then staple to the ceiling plastic to the top part of one strip of wood</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/49139F84-50AC-4D99-83EF-070F7C4330F2-8865-000003CCEAC77EDB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/49139F84-50AC-4D99-83EF-070F7C4330F2-8865-000003CCEAC77EDB.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then measure where you want it on the ceiling. the pieces of wood we got were super curved so we put the first nail in (with my new nail gun :) ) then kept measuring before putting the next nail to make sure it was straight. If that makes sense. this will take two people and two ladders haha </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now pull the plastic tight. a little tip you will need to put a little piece of duct tape over where you will staple so it doesn't rip </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/599E9FA3-71FC-4FE0-90A9-60516ABA4111-8865-000003CCE20AA07E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/599E9FA3-71FC-4FE0-90A9-60516ABA4111-8865-000003CCE20AA07E.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then onto the next strip of wood do the same thing measure and square of then pull the plastic tight and nail away! the the fun part. hehe i like power tools! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do the same for all sides measuring and squaring as you go. also i wish we had a stud finder!! ugh it took forever! lol </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trim off extra plastic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cut the plastic next and cut it a little wider than the wood so it can be folded over and clamped to ensure no paint leaking out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
its much easier to cut the plastic when its rolled up still, lucky ours only needed to be cut for the width cause it was already the right height. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then cut the pvc pipe to the right length. we then used gorilla duct tape to atach it to the bottom of the plastic so when the walls of the booth hang down the pvc is on the bottom. we taped it twice so that the pvc pipe was covered all the way by tape and touching the plastic.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
When it comes to christmas wrapping i look and try to think of a new creative way to do it for the year months before. this year pinterest gave me the idea of making wood buttons so my amazing helpful husband went out and found a branch cut it down and sliced them all to size then drilled holes in them. He made about 60 for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got my brown paper at home depot for like 11 dollars for a huge roll! also the brown twine there too. much cheaper than Michael. my favorite paper this year though has got to be my wood grain paper. I got it at tjmaxx and wish i would have bought every roll! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like crinkling my brown paper for added texture i also did use white paper for a few presents and crinkled that too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then i went to the craft store and got wood shaped cutouts and made them into little chalk boards for the tags. i just stacked them and then drilled a little hole for the string. super easy and really fun... (i also wrote there name on the side very small so if the kids eased it i would still know who's it was ;) )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so for those oddly shaped presents i decided to make pouches for them with my surger. super easy and i really like the feel they give. you could use your sewing machine to i imagine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy it :) </div>

Me and my dad would sit down at it and he would put my school memory verses to song so i could learn them every week in grade school. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when one of my brothers was needing it out of there rental house where it had been. i jumped on it. It had been damaged on top by a unsupervised candle from a renter so it needed painting and some TLC. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So not sure if i fail more than i succeed at this balancing life thing, but at least im not alone right!? i know we all have lots to juggle in life... like the stuff we have to do and stuff we wish/want to do. The thing i notice and tell people is with everything we have going on something has got to give. For me its usually deep cleaning or laundry haha, hopefully never my attention to the kids, although I'm human and it does happens sometimes. Thank God his mercies are new every morning! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been blessed this season with the good amount of photo shoots and weddings not to many as i really love being a stay at home momma. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even so i have been SWAMPED with editing! I'm one that when editing i edit every good picture i see. (im trying to get better at narrowing down) I feel like im wasting a picture if i don't edit it haha, but cause of this i end up editing up to 1200 pictures for a wedding and well it take time while juggling carpool, kids, cleaning, <span style="color: #cc0000;">LIFE</span>... (hopefully my clients dont mind and happy with the end product ;) ) </div>

I wanted to paint the top white and the bottom a slit mint shade. so i mixed old white <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/acatalog/copy_of_How_to_use_the_paint.html">chalk paint</a> with a green craft paint and mixed til desired color. i also add a little water to thin my chalk paint i like to work with thinner paint </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i then painted the top with just old white chalk paint but then decided to also use a eggshell white on top. just to make it a little more easy to care for than using wax to seal it. (i love wax but just wanted to try something different since i had this stuff laying around hehe )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i painted about 4-5 coats on top cause the table top was showing through. i also painted the top very rough i didn't want it to smooth.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So i got two of these chairs about 1 1/2 years ago for 25 bucks and when my hubs needed a new chair for his office, i thought ok its about time i redid one of these chairs and it would be a perfect fit. so the prep worked started! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im going for the very rustic unfinished look like the restoration hardware line of unfinished furniture. now some may cringe at the shear thought of a unfinished chair but i droll over them lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i know this is not exactly up to there amazing level but hey for a total of about $36.50 ill take it! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12.50 for the chair </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10.00 for burlap</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4.00 (about) for paint & poly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10.00 (about) for staples and glue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
first take all the old fabric off! there is really no easy way to do it :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a needle nose plier i pinch the cording around the needle nose pliers and twist then any staple left in the wood i just pull out. i did not get all the staples out the were still in the wood from the fabric part but did get all the ones sticking out lol </div>

i actually used hot glue to make it stick down the inside of the chair since i couldnt get a staple gun to go down in the crack. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it actually is very sturdy. i just pushed the gun way down and put lots of the glue then quickly put the burlap down in the crack. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then i stapled the burlap in just a few places enough to hold it in place around the chair. then put the other layer of burlap on it, then really stapled it all around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the curved top i folded it over a little then stapled it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then i trimmed all the edged and hot glued under every edge of burlap where it touches the wood just to make it extra secure and help the burlap not to fray more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and on just the top part of the chair glued and folded the edge under </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so i painted it black with milk paint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here is the bed before (a great bed built by my brother eric :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/315061f6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/315061f6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*first i mix the milk paint in a jar with a fork or just shake it up, some people even use a old blender :) <a href="http://missmustardseed.com/2012/07/milk-paint-video-tutorials/">missmustardseed</a> has three great videos on milk paint (as well as lots more info!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/0b840a5c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/0b840a5c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then i put the first coat on it will be pretty thin but thats ok once it dries just put another coat on :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(also this paint works best on raw wood but i didn't want to sand it so this bed is already sealed but i find it just distresses more if its not raw wood)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/1fd002d0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/1fd002d0.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while i wait to the first coat to dry i put my brush in a ziplock bag to keep t from drying out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/fea3fc8b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/fea3fc8b.jpg" width="476" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then time for a sec coat </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/5df1fc73.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/5df1fc73.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now with milk paint it has a mind of its own and with flak off by its self where ever it wants too unless you add the adhering agent to it. i how ever like that part of milk paint so i just let it do its thing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/dfcf10ee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/dfcf10ee.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then after a light sanding it the places i wanted i discovered that one spot did not want to adhere at all </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lol not want im going for so i sanded it to make the wood more and painted it again with a couple coats. and it worked much better </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/8a8a5421.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/8a8a5421.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then i used a wipe on poly to seal it all done! took me just the morning to do it yay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/8409722f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/8409722f.jpg" width="476" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then sanded them down </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/417c5811.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/417c5811.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my style has a made a drastic change from when we first got married. it had always been rustic but way more Mediterranean. Now, well you can see its not so Mediterranean. I still think that style is great but just doesn't fit me anymore :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well when we got married 11 years ago we got our table from Pier one and spent a pretty penny on it. well that and the 8 chairs we got to fit our big family one day. We lived in a tiny apartment and made it fit where ever we went through the 11 years :) but even though we made it fit in our house's it was not fitting in our style anymore. So i had found our other <a href="http://littleplacecalledhomesweethome.blogspot.com/2011/03/dinning-table-and-chair-redo.html">dinning room table</a> for 25 bucks and made that work. All the while keeping our old table in the garage.<br />
Well we have 4 kids and that smaller table was not working anymore. SOO i got up the courage to redo THE table. i went back and fourth on what i should do and after some trial a error, finally settling on good old faithful white lol. So here is the how to of our table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Keep in mind i need to finish the chairs still but just haven't gotten to it yet and didn't want to wait anymore to share it with y'all :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*First my wonderful hubby sanded down the heavily waxed top (yay cause im not a fan of doing that)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He used a heavy grit first then a fine grit to smooth it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* then i did the <a href="http://littleplacecalledhomesweethome.blogspot.com/2011/03/dinning-table-and-chair-redo.html">vinegar treatment</a> on it. I probably did at least 5 coats on it letting it dry in between. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*then it was time to paint the bottom. this was the trail and error part lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i first painted some blackish grey on a few spots i wanted to show through and then put Vaseline on a few spots so when i painted over it and then distress the piece it looks more chipped in the areas where the paint didn't adhere. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/72894591.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/72894591.jpg" width="475" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*so we wanted to do a kinda grey so i mixed a few paints together. i mainly use chalk paint now but i had some flat latex paint left so i made a kinda chalk paint using flat paint, some blue chalk paint and adding black milk paint powder to tint and make it stick more like chalk paint, it worked but i did not like the blue color it turned out to be for this piece </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* i didn't like it so much that i don't have a picture to show ha. but the great thing about paint is you can just paint over it and then there are even more layers :) which i love. so i then used old white chalk paint to paint on over it. i always water down my chalk paint a bit i like it to be thinner to work with. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Now to distress it i used a scrapper and sandpaper or block or sander.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how the two colors show through now. see mistakes can be a good thing :) </div>

I chose not to wax the bottom of this piece since i love the worn look and don't mind if it gets more worn ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
* i then 3 coats of pure pure mineral oil on the table </div>

I have wanted a garden for years but never really knew where to start. Well my <a href="http://benijohnson.blogspot.com/">mom</a> has a green thumb and knows much about this stuff. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so after my mom and kids and a little of me weeded the area. (i wish we had a before of all the tall weeds!) We went to home depot and bought beds that you could put together your self there so super easy even our 4 year old could help! </div>

so far we have planted snap peas, onion, bunches of peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, watermelon, beans, bunches of herbs. the only seeds we planted were the snap peas, onion, beans, watermellon and cilantro. other wise the rest are plants. i have still have some more room and want to plant other stuff too. i love gardening :) and with this way of layering i only watered the seeds once and i have not had to water once since then. it been weeks (watch <a href="http://backtoedenfilm.com/">back to eden film</a> for more info on that its amazing!) we also when planting put a little mushroom mulch mixed in :). not to much cause it can burn your plants </div>

I cant believe it is that time again. Our baby girl is 4 today! it feels like just a short time ago i held her for the first time and felt such peace joy and love. Man how time flies. She is such a sweet, fun little girl full of spunk and life. We celebrated her birthday yesterday with a party and i had the funniest time decorating for it for her! I started a few days before hand prepping things and set up all i could the day before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had decided to make her a barbie cake this year and make it to where i could actually eat it too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hehe so i went on the search for a gluten free, refined sugar free and nut free cake (my cousin cant have nuts hehe). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite blogs for recipes is <a href="http://realsustenance.com/?s=birthday+cake">real sustenance</a> Brittany Angells is brilliant in the kitchen! So i used the <a href="http://realsustenance.com/?s=birthday+cake">recipe</a> for birthday cake on her site. I highly suggest getting the <a href="http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/cake-enhancer-10-oz">king arthur gluten free cake enhancer</a> I did not use it cause i didn't have time to order it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my cake was a little dense. The taste was great it just fell after baking. but hey oh well you live and you learn right :) I used xylitol instead of sugar but im sure you could play around with different kinds if you would like. I then used the icing recipe it gives but used that as the crumb coat and inbetween the layers of cake. I wanted to use the mashmellow frosting recipe out of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gluten-Free-Almond-Flour-Cookbook/dp/158761345X">almond flour cookbook</a> to give it that fluffy look. Then used about a teaspoon of beat juice to dye the frosting pink :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So all in all i think it looked great :) and it was a yummy dense cake ;) (next time i will use the cake enhancer) But isabella loved it and that makes a mommy happy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is the beautiful party and the even more beautiful little 4 year old</div>

So it was a sunny day here and i was just so inspired to get some thing done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have have been meaning to for a while now to get a amazing gold frame and put a chalk board in it. Well i still have not found that perfect frame so i decided to just use one i had already that is off white. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got out the wonderful chalk board paint and sprayed the first coat on the glass that goes with the frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then as i was waiting for it to dry i thought why not put it on something else.... watch out. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have these coke glasses that were from some party we had and as much as i think there cool the red didnt really go with my decor all to well so i thought why not tape then of and spray over the coke part. I had seen it done to other bottles so why not. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*and well i then got a pitcher i have and taped that off and sprayed it too lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/5f577424.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/5f577424.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*i did about 3 coats on them all it only took 20 mins to dry each time if that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after it was dry to the touch i took the tape off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are supposed to dry for 24 hours but im impatient kinda (hehe) and only waited a few hours before i broke the chalk in and started prepping the chalk area buy turning a piece of chalk sideways and rubbing it all over the board. then with a dry paper towel just lighting wiping it off. it was totally dry enough ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so here is the finished product :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So one of the big perks about having a blog and a huge circle of friends that know you love redoing things is when they have furniture they want to get ride of.. they call you :) With this next piece i got a message on facebook saying the dresser needed to be gone by that night so if i wanted it, come on by. Well of course i hopped in my van and loaded it up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a solid wood maple dresser. It really was in great shape just some scratches on top.... super heavy! i had large bruises on my legs from moving it lol.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 4</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i mixed up <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/acatalog/paints.html">annie sloan chalk paint</a> old white and a little water </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 5 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
first coat of paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
now i wanted this paint job to be a messy one, not smooth. it was a fun one to paint because of that i just slopped it on there :) and look at the fun little hand print my one year old left for me lol. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 6</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by the time i got the first coat on it was time to scrape the top of the dresser </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/30230ecc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="475" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/30230ecc.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 7</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paint another coat on there real messy like </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/2294045d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/2294045d.jpg" width="475" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 8</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i sanded down the top of the dresser and im sure some of the dust got on the drying paint but i didnt mind. remember im going to a very messy look :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/9057f2ea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/9057f2ea.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 9 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after the sec coat dries i got out the crackle paint.. now a big tip for using crackle paint is not putting it all over. i put it only on little areas of the dresser. follow the crackle paint instructions...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/4832bb5e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="475" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/4832bb5e.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 10 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after it dries paint another coat of white over top of the crackle. only go over it once other wise it is a messy look and not in a good way! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/0b3503c7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/0b3503c7.jpg" width="476" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 11</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after you have let it dry. it doesnt take real long. its time for the fun part! distressing time. i use heavy sand paper, light sand paper, scrapers, tape and pretty much anything you think would ding it up :) (i use the tape to pull some of the paint off, it kinda looks like its chipped)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/70f19fc0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/70f19fc0.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 12 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tape around the top of the dresser so you can stain and wax the top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/49335300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/49335300.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 13</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stain the wood on top. i use a dark stain by minwax. i wipe it on with a rag. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/454f3045.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/454f3045.jpg" width="476" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 14</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then i use a dark soft wax by annie sloan... then buff it out after 15 plus mins </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/51a828d7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/LEAHMARIV/51a828d7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 15</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now wax all of the painted parts with a soft wax i used a clear one with no stain in it. I also buff it out right away working a 20by20 area. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It is our family tradition to get a tree(s) the Saturday after thanksgiving. SO out we went to a local tree lot here in town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now i grew up in a charming mountian town where cutting down your tree was the norm. (We did go to the tree lot now and then but mainly cut it down.) But for some reason i just love the tree lot experience maybe it reminds me of all those hallmark movies were they go to a cute little lot and its always so well... hallmarky haha. You know what i mean? To be honest im also very picky and like my trees pretty close to perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways we loaded the kids up and must have walked around for a hour if not more looking for just the right trees. We normally get a silver tip but this year we wanted to get one noble fur, one silver tip and two mini trees for the kids rooms. the guys were so nice and gave us a deal for getting so many and threw in a 5th tree for cheap! I got <i>SO</i> excited knowing now i was going to get one tree for the living room, one for the office, one for the kitchen and one for each kid room. </div>

* next was to paint it. I took a latex flat white paint and added some french grey milk paint powder and a couple tables spoons of annie sloans <span style="color: teal; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Aubusson Blue chalk paint, and little bit of black</span> <span style="color: black;">and a little water to thin it out. since the powder made it thicker. well since the armoire was a glossy white and i didnt want to prime it adding the milk paint totally helped the latex paint adhere to the glossier paint and it worked so well. i used two coats. it probably could have used 3 but i was going to destress it anyways so it worked.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: teal; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">i also left some white around the door openings. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: teal; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">after it dried i took a rough sand paper to it .</span></span></div>

I dont think filling the walls is easy at all in fact i think its down right stressful. So most of the time i have a piles of frames and such just sitting there collecting dust! BUT i am determined at this house to hang stuff up and fill my walls :) maybe what ever is not hung i will just get rid of, theres a idea ;) !? :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">SO today i got out my chalk paint and really quick painted over that piece of green wood with hooks in it i got at that barn sale the other day. I used old white. (love!) Then just screwed the hooks back in and hung it over a bench i have in our entry way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I decorated it with a basket i had laying around, some deer antlers form one of my hubbies deers, pine cones my daughter collected, a hanging candle and some drying hydrangeas form our bush. Also a little piece of drift wood my son found at the lake this summer rests on top. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
