Not Extreme Home Makeover...Freeman Edition

I have had a few projects on my mind for a while, small things I thought that either the kids or Travis would like. Friday night, we got two of them squared away, which without the help of Travis, I could not have finished...Thanks love!

Keep in mind, I am thrifty...didn't always use to be that way, ask my family...I was the 9 year old with 3 pairs of new Nikes, Tommy jeans and Calvin Klein shorts in 6 colors....not anymore! I have kept up with several home decor blogs that give me much inspiration...as well as daily chats with my boss about what junk we found at Goodwill and what our plans for transformation are! (ridiculous, I know, but hey...we could be doing worse with our time and money)

My first project I completed in Kayleigh's room was a shelf with letters that spell out her name on top.
Letters: Had already been purchased
Shelf: Hobby Lobby, 8.99 (50% off)
Paint: Lowes, .5 Gallon Olympic White Satin Finish Latex $10
Potted Flower: Michaels, 2.99 on clearance
Total for shelf project: 21.98

And Kayleigh loved it! On to the next one!


The kids bathroom was another place I wanted to add a little finishing touch, their walls were too blank...so I added a shelf and some small decorations.
Shelf: Hobby Lobby, 6.99 (50% off)
Paint: Left over from other project
Lighthouse figurine: Hobby Lobby, 4.99 (50% off)
Frame (3): Hobby Lobby, 4.99 (50% off)
Shell: Free, thanks to me...picked it up on the beach in Cozumel!
Clam Shell Frame: Free...was in my box of tricks...lol
Total for bathroom shelf project and 2 frames on opposite wall: 26.95



This is the picture in the frame on the shelf, I took it back in May, while we were staying at the beach.

First of many more project blogs! Travin's room is next!

    Love the letters, so cute! Also, I was laughing when I read about your ck shorts cause I had them too! Haha - the only colors I can remember having are orange, yellow, light blue, and maybe pink? :) Now the only shirt I'll buy is a $2 one from Old Navy! Funny how things change. Love you!!
