I had a 31 party and was thankful to have a great turnout of ladies. Instead of taking pictures of the fun bags and purses, I took pictures of the food. What can I say? I made the food, not the bags...

And yes, I got most of these recipes from the place which shall not be
Speaking of that place, I also found some great ideas for re-doing items/furniture for the basement. We are finishing two bedrooms with a bathroom in between. One bedroom will have three sets of built-in bunkbeds and the colors are gray and yellow. I am using this light fixture somehow in that room. It is actually three lights in one, so I will probably take it apart, paint it, change out the green glass, and make three hanging pendant lights. I will post a picture when it is finished. Scored this beauty at the Powell ReStore for ten bucks...
The other bedroom will be coral and khaki. I am refinishing or making all of the furniture for that room as well, so here are my first pieces. The chair came from Goodwill and the dresser from the ReStore...

| Paint and new fabric should do the trick |

| Paint, wallpaper, and new hardware and she'll be marvelous! |
I will post more before, during, and after pictures as I go. Wish me luck!
I read this and two questions came to mind. 1) Why did you NOT invite me to your party so I could help eat all that fabulous food you made? ;P and 2) WHY do you need 3 sets of bunk beds in one room??? Are you expecting sextuplets or starting a ranch or camp or something? You always have the most interesting things up your sleeve so do tell! =)
ReplyDeleteHa! Okay, so #1- you can come anytime and I will make it all over again just for you! And #2- we have several friends with large families that will hopefully be coming to visit, so we figured built-in bunkbeds were the way to go! We also will be making it available for college groups, special speakers and their families, missionary families, etc., that visit our church and need a place to stay. No sextuplets for us!
