Zombie Attack!!

Got some new crafts done this month! It feels so good to craft! It makes me so happy! :)

 

First up is my coffee table. It's a cheap, but well made coffee table my mom found on Craigslist. It came paired with a side table that I'll redo eventually. It was black and chipped, and with my chocolate brown couch, 2 burgundy lounge chairs, and 3 dark bookshelves, my living room was insanely dark. It seriously need some brightening up. With a very small budget, i spent way more than I intended. Plexiglas is expensive! But I wanted this REALLY badly.

 

This was my table before

And this is after.

Ever seen P.S. I Love You? Holly has a coffee table that's covered in photo's, it's beautiful! I wanted that. I had leftover paint from repainting my back door at the Beaufort house. It's not a bad color. It's a bright grey/green/blue. It's a nice color. It really brightened up the living room. I spent $20 at Walmart for 100 photos of friends, family, my wedding, and a bunch of other memories. Then I layered them all over the top and covered it all with Plexiglas. I didn't go all the way to the edge just in case someone spilled something so it wouldn't seep under the glass and get my pictures. I'm so excited I finally finished it. 

 

I made this for my soon to be niece. Her room is all Hello Kitty and she needed something to go over her bed. So here's my gift. It's four canvas' so they can be placed however she chooses. They came out really well. 

 

I've been meaning to make this since September, when we moved back to Nashville. Inside the shadow box is a welcome booklet for the Beaufort and Port Royal area we got the first day we moved there, a map of Beaufort, an outline of our house key, the dates we move to and from, and a hand full of seashells Jerad and I found on the beach the last time we were there.

 

And finally, with the left over pictures from the coffee table and some of the left over Plexiglas(BTW I had enough left over to not only make this but also cover both side tables in my bedroom) I made something to go over my own bed.

Once I gather some more crafting funds, I'll be giving a makeover to my small bookcase, TV stand, 3 side tables, chest of drawers, and my dresser. Hopefully one day I can afford to buy several yards of fabric and recover my couch in a brighter color and make it less attractive to dog hair.

By the way, did anyone else see the Pilot of Amazon's Zombieland TV series? It was awesome! Remember the first rule of Zombieland. Cardio. I'll die first...
