I cannot believe I am finally done with this artwork. For a couple of months this half-finished canvas had looked at me and for some reason I just had procrastinated with finishing it. I had done the background and the black on the dreamcatcher but I just was not able to finish it and I…
Painted Chair
For some time I had wanted to have a painted chair in my old room, where I lived before I moved. It was supposed to be white, but had become stained. So I wanted paint it and decided to use the same paint as my Cupboard in my bedroom. So first I did a white base coat, followed by two…
How To Create Paint Swatches
Another old project here, how to make your own paint swatches that you can bring anywhere. I saw this awesome post, Customizable Paint Deck @ Natty By Design. And thought what a great idea! I want to add some pink to my old bedroom, but needed something that looked good with my blue furniture. So I…
Cupboard Makeover
This is one of my favorite crafts I have ever made. I loved it so much. Loved, as in past tense. I sold it when I moved last september. I found the perfect paint colour but I had such a hard time finding a piece of furniture. I went to two flea markets and nothing….
After High School Graduation Bedroom Makeover
Wow, what a long title. My little sister graduated from high school a couple of weeks ago and almost went straight on a 2 week holiday with her boyfriend. My older sister and I had asked for her permission to give her a bedroom makeover (which she totally forgot!). We had so much fun doing it…
Paper Mache Letter
So the artwork I said I would be sharing with you today is actaully not done. Things have been super busy on my end, but I will work on it tonight and hopefully have it done by Fridays post. This is actually a project I created over 2 years ago as a part of…
Painting Challenge
Another month, another challenge. I love painting. I have always loved painting. However I have not always had the motivation to paint. This month I will focus on painting art work, but I also have a few – alright a lot – of old projects that have involved paint that I will be sharing with…
Healthy Eating Challenge Wrap-up
Another month has passed and another challenge is done. I cannot believe how fast time flies. I have tried to be more healthy but… I really really really like unhealthy stuff. I made this delicious cake and I was more or less the only one who ate it (well the half that was left after my…
Hummus Recipe
I think hummus tastes so good! I also love finger food, tapas, whatever you want to call it. I am all about sharing food. Last fall my family and I made an Arabian night dinner. We had all this different kinds of delicious food that we made together (the kitchen was a mess!). Here is the…
Five Healthy Lunches
Hi, I’m Renee and I blog over at Creative Mama, Messy House. I am all about shopping locally and eating your veggies, so I am really excited about Trine’s “Healthy Eating” May challenge. I have been trying to lose about 20 pounds of baby-weight, so eating healthy has been on my mind. Today, I have decided to…
