a pinteresting spring break

the girls and i just had the best spring break. first of, all the weather for the middle of march averaged 70 degrees and beautiful. this allowed the girls to be out riding bikes and rollerblading. it also allowed for some fun pinterest projects! here are some of our adventures and projects.
this was an ugly board that i picked up for $2.95 and turned into one of my favorite projects.
same board painted. so simple.
so tired of the girls never able to find ponies or bobby pins...
solutions
magnetic strip in our bathroom drawers
and a ribbon for bows and clips
rainbow cookies?
epic flop... oh, well.

ugly knife block

 now upcycled

ugly brassy cabinet hardware
                                       37 handles and some black hammered spray paint equals...
a much better look!
a fun project with dollar store frames redone, skeleton keys, and burlap

a trip to owatonna, mn, holiday inn and serengeti water park for us girls



we loved the slides and mom loved being able to let them play while she read. we were lucky we had the place to ourselves practically.

                                                             just monkeying around

 hair experiment - before...
                                                                       after - beach wave
                                                                        table redo...
                                                     
sanding, black paint, and some distressing

still needs a clear coat and new knobs.

wow, we had so much fun! as chaya said, it feels more like summer break rather than spring break. until next time...
