My latest projects...
As most of you know, I love to do crafty things. It has been a couple weeks since I finished these two projects, I have just put off taking pictures of them. I got the idea for the huge bulletin board from Pottery Barn, but couldn't justify paying $175 for a bulletin board, so I decided to make it, with my own little twist to it, and I thought it turned out pretty cute! The desk was given to us from Marks parents and it was pretty old. It was this cherry colored wood with gold knobs...it didn't look like it belonged in our house! So together, Mark and I gave it a face lift. We put new knobs on it and painted it black. I actually like it now...it's always nice when you can use the stuff you already have and make it cute rather than going out and buying new stuff don't ya think!?!
