Distressed Union Jack Side Table

I know, I'm about the last person in DIY blogland that has yet to produce a Union Jack piece. But this week we've been watching the Olympic Trials for swimming, and I've become inspired!

This is a table Shayne gave me to paint. I was nervous...see my mind doesn't work very well when it comes to spacial relations....so taping this was difficult for me.

It's not perfect, but I really like it!

$50 Giveaway from Cutting Edge Stencils!!!

I am so excited for today's Giveaway from Cutting Edge Stencils! One lucky winner will receive their choice of any one reusable wall stencil, up to a $50 value!

If you follow decor/DIY blogs, you know by now that a fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to update a room. Wallpaper has also made a big comeback, but it can be pricey and very very time-consuming to to apply....and I don't trust myself with wallpaper. The best way to bring together a freshly painted room and add that "WOW" factor is stencils!

Here are just a few of the many choices that Cutting Edge Stencils has to offer!







And these stencils are not only for walls...look at these furniture makeovers using stencils!!

Sweet Little Cabinet in Gray

This is a quick before and after. I had my 15 year college reunion this weekend and had SUCH an amazing time. I went to a small, women's college in central Minnesota. I loved every minute of my time there and hadn't been back for over 12 years. I had such a blast with my friends!!

Here is the before picture of this cabinet that Shayne brought me. It had major veneer issues, but my father-in-law fixed it, of course!



Here she is now...a medium gray with dark glaze and distressing. Such a unique piece with the doors!















Stay tuned for a giveaway (or 2!) that will be happening soon!!
