Back and Redder than ever!!

So I have just made a move to the great state of Oklahoma, hence why it's been 50 forevers since I have been on here...but I am settled in to the new house and am ready to start getting back to talking about all the girly things I love! 

First things first...if you have ever put a house together you know that some things are left behind and you can either throw them out...OR..get crafty! You can bet your buttons that this girl got crafty! 

Here is what I did with two stools that were at the house:

There are two that looked like this...but I wanted to make them my own!

So...step 1:

Take extra fabric from the top so there is nothing in the way from a smooth finish!

Step 2:

Lay Stool on top of fabric and measure around to make sure it will fit!

Step 3:

Staple fabric underneath chair (the electric staple gun is my new best friend!)

Step 4:

Go all the way around the chair with a partner pulling tight while you staple! (thanks to my mother in law for being such a great helper/creative outlet!)

Step 5:

Fold and iron opposite colored fabric into 1/2 inch thick piece and measure to go all the way around it. Then nail brads to hold into place!

VOILA! You have new chairs that are super cute!!

Then...with all the other fabric, you tie in other pieces such as these:

(don't mind the mugs!)

These are just frames that I stapled fabric around!

I also sewed 2 place mats for a little breakfast nook:

(don't mind the finger at the bottom right of this pic! oops!)

And there you have a fresh look to a new kitchen doing all the fun/girly things you love to do!!


On to the next project!

Now after all this moving and such, I got to looking at my nails and thought...how in the world did I let them start looking so badly!!  SO...I decided to start playing around with my fingernail polish and this is my new look of the week:

So girly and so cute! I love it! I used PRO nail polish in Glamrock and Punki Purple (don't ask me..it comes out looking more red than pink...but nonetheless cute!!!)

I am so glad to be back!!

XOXO,
