Green Dresser Finished!

This is the green dresser I found for $25 at a garage sale. It is solid wood and has three different layers to it...green, white, and a stain. 




I stripped it and then sanded it down. This process took some time due to the three different layers.


I did one stain of Bombay mahogany. Then did a clear semi-gloss seal on it.

Here is the final product! I got the hardware from Hobby Lobby and painted the turquoise with a dry paint brush.

Graduation time is almost here!

Thank you Mom for giving me my first diamond! My ring looks like new now! Every time I will look at my Aggie Ring I will think of you. 

My new diamond!

After 2 years it has gotten a little dirty.

Enchanted Rock

Saturday, Brad and I went to Enchanted Rock! It was amazing...I hadn't been in years and years. We plan to go back to do more than climb to the top!

Pinterest Inspired Bridal Shower

One of my dear friends is getting married this weekend and I threw her a bridal shower last month. All my decoration ideas came from pinterest! I am so happy the way it turned out. Not to mention she was so suprised that I had done this for her. I had to tell her it was just not another girls weekend it was her weekend! I cannot wait for the wedding this weekend!!! :)

I got the idea to make pom poms to hang from the celing. Doing it myself was much cheaper than buy the premade ones. Here is the site that I used: pom poms
I made all the girls Red Neck Wine glasses for the weekend. I used candle stick holders and mason jars. I put our intials with paint pens ( they do not wash off). Check this site to see how I made them!





These are the stands I made with a candle stick and plate. I spray painted the base silver then placed a wooden let A on top and spray painted over it. I used heavy duty super glue to glue the stands together.


Here is a far a way shot...I just love the pom poms and streamers!



It's a must to have fresh flowers! It adds so much to the table decorations. You can also see in the background that I had some light up branches. I got those from Big Lots at a very reasonable price. I placed them in a silver spray painted bottle and added some tissue paper flowers and ribbon.




I LOVE this! I found coral fabric, which is one of the brides colors, and draped it over shoe boxes that were different levels. I used card board letters from Hobby Lobby and spray painted them with glitter spray paint (love this stuff)!!!
