Summer Projects

This summer I have been trying to keep myself busy with different projects. My first project was my purple frames/ hair accessories holder in my summer post last week. What I worked on last/ this week is painting my desk.... Projects to come are.... Painting my canopy bed frame....Painting my sisters's canopy bed frame lime green.... finding a chair to use with my dest maybe painting and reupholster that as well.... here are a few before and after pictures of my desk and bed hopefully there will be more pictures to come soon of more projects let me know if you have any fun project ideas I can try!!!



ok so this isn't my desk its my brothers but mine used to look exactly like this one.....




it looks like your basic desk just brown, little cubby, and pull out shelf.




this is my desk after I painted it black!!!




still your basic desk just a sleeker look and it gives me a better place to do my hair and make up! Hopefully by next weekend I will have a Vanity mirror to hang above it to make it more vanityish and less deskish....


this is the before picture of my bed frame I'm painting it black also.....


Why so much black you ask?

Well hopefully when we move it will be into a house or condo so I can do my own room. I have a giant vinyl eiffel tower I want to put on a bright white wall and have my desk and bed both black and find a gorgeous bright yellow bed spread/ throw..... I also have a little purple shelf that hangs on the wall and matching purple frames and two purple boards with vinyl on them too. One says Katee/ daughter of a king that I made at GC and the other says Virtue/ let it garnish your thoughts unceasingly then shall thy confidence wax strong.... I hope to also paint my white bookshelf yellow and have fabric storage boxes in yellow purple white and black! I hope my room turns out the way I am visioning it! My mom helps so much and I get great ideas from friends.... something I'm looking for ideas on right now is a shoe holder shelf/ separater rack thing what ever you want to call it.... if you have any cute ideas for one leave a comment!! My inspiring quote for this post is.....
My dreams/ projects all started with a blog post and a birthday gift from mom :D
What have your dreams started with?

The best thing I've seen for shoe storage is a shelf about 5 inches off the floor of your closet so you can put shoes underneath and on the shelf. But if you need more then you should make little cubby holders that are just the size to fit a pair of shoes in like in a shoe box. Good luck and I have a lot of dreams for a house when we get one too!
