So I was going to write about Asher's birthday party.....But I have been super crafty today and would rather show you what I have done.
I have been searching Craigslist in the free section and found this super ugly nightstand. It has been sitting in my garage for a week and I wasn't sure what to do with it. Today, Asher and I sanded it down.
I am pretty sure I have the cutest little helper...ever. Next I found a bottle of light blue spray paint that I had picked up a while back. I took all the ugly gold hinges and knobs off. And gave the whole thing 2 coats of paint. I spray painted the hinges and knobs silver and built a 933 piece lego castle while we waited for it to dry.
And this is this is the finished table.
Next we were on a mission to find a cheap lamp to accent the new table. So of to Goodwill we go. I found an awesome stone lamp for $4.99 and brown shade for $2.00. I love good deals.
And this is what it all looks like put together.
I love how it turned out and I excited to start looking on craigslist again for my next project.
Here are a few pictures of the other projects that we did today.
$1.99 at Goodwill.
Added some paint and Voila.
Corkboard- $4.99 at Goodwill

| Spray painted the trim and glued on some Yellow fabric I had, and added a giant pocket made from a pillow case that will match the guest room. |
This was a table that I had in my master bathroom. I was tired of it being plain black so I painted it a rusty orange. Now I will have an accent color to use for the rest of my decorating.
I hope that you like all of my projects. I know that seeing other blogs inspires me and I hope to do the same. This is one of the blogs of a friend that is super crafty and I just love to see what she has done in her home.
I promise next time that I will share all about Asher's party and show how I made all of the decorations. But for now this is just a glimpse into my oh so lovely life.
