Blueberry Picking

We went to The Berry Patch and picked blueberries. It was our first time and we all had a blast!
We will definitely be making this a tradition in our family.





Even Macie couldn't help but eat the blueberries.







































Awww...









Projects

This is a bed Greg made for Brady's room. We haven't finished it yet, but we are loving it so far. He is going to make a headboard and we will paint his dressers that same green color. We love the color, and can't wait to see how the dressers turn out.
These are shots of Caleb's room. I did kind of a nautical theme. I made those two pillows on the bed. Which turned out pretty cute. The quilt was made by Greg's grandma.

I also had Greg cut me some wood and then I covered it in fabric to make a headboard. I just put it on today.


We also painted his dressers blue and added new hardware, which we got for free. I picked the color from the pottery barn kids catalog. They list the colors they use in the catalog. That is how we also chose the green color in Brady's room. I figure you almost can't go wrong if it is in Pottery Barn.


We painted this dresser as well. The little man on there is funny, but I got him in England, and haven't figured out where to put him yet.





Projects in Macie's Room

We have been doing projects in the kids bedrooms for a while now. I thought I would share some of the mostly completed things we have done. I definitely have been feeling paint happy!
We painted Macie's dressers white and put new hardware on them. I still need to spray paint the top center nob silver, but haven't gotten to it yet.
I spray painted the stars silver that her dresses are hanging from. They used to be blue and not in her room.


We painted this night stand white and added new hardware. I also got the lamp at Goodwill for a couple dollars. It has dainty roses on it that mimic her white curtains. It even came with the lightbulb.


I bought this glider from a garage sale for $20 and it was a yucky cream color. So I bought some fabric and recovered it all by myself. I was so proud of how it turned out, because I have never recovered furniture before, but it was so easy!




I even recovered the ottoman.
