Design Dazzle

ever been to this site?  if not and you have children then you should.  it's a great site for room decor and party ideas for children.  they even shared my idea for my son's Wii party i had recently...check it out here



other news....


Josh with mantle shelf



see that black shelf (well i call it a mantle as it is heavily constructed) on the wall?  i got an idea the other day when i was doing my daily read over at this blog and i have really longed for a proper place to hang stockings as we do not have a fireplace in our current home.  so this past spring i found this mantle at a yard sale for $3.  it had a dark stained finish and it wasn't in too bad of a shape as it was but i'm not into the wood look.  it quickly went up into the attic and that is where it stayed until a light bulb went off in my head the other day.  i dug it out, sanded it down and painted it a satin black finish.  so when hubby came home off is job it was ready and waiting (ok he works on the railroad so i had a couple days, lol).  he couldn't put it off as it was all ready to go.


i will be back here to show you how i decorated it for Christmas.  i'm still puttin some touches on it. :)


 


hey, before you go...look at this peek of a project.


Refurb project



(don't mind the books, i didn't have anywhere to shove them temporarily)
