Yes, I've been a little MIA around here.  But, I've been busy around my house!  I also got a job that I thoroughly enjoy, and that's been taking some of my time as well.
Here is a brief look at one of my latest projects - I hope to get some better pictures.  I took these today on a completely cloudy, rainy, dreary day, and as you can see, my current light fixtures are a little dated and don't put off the best of photo lighting situations.  ( Can we say run-on sentence?)

Anyhoo -  Back to the good stuff -
Bathroom BEFORE


Lovely, huh? Eck. 

Bathroom AFTER - The kids now have a wooded wonderland! 
(Try to excuse my photo arranging dysfunction)

I found the cutest, whimsical tree, squirrel-y, owl-friend shower curtain at Target and ran with it :) 


As dated as the light fixtures are, they actually kinda look like acorns, so I think I like them now....
I THINK....

I used ModPodge to attach some coordinating craft paper to the outlet covers
I used my Sihlouette to make the trees on my tp cover from IKEA , and the decal on my newly painted cabinet! 




My first 'distressed' project - I think it turned out pretty swell :) 
If you haven't noticed from my previous posts, I have a bit of a love affair with trees.  So, of course, I added live branches to the room!  I love the shape and feel of dogwood branches! I snatched these (with permission) from my grandmother's trees, and hot-glued some fabric leaves in various shades of greens that I had laying around. 



I also ModPodged fabric to the window.  Now, I have a cool window treatment that doesn't take over the bathroom -and a ledge to put cute stuff that I find here and there, or to put things that are off limits to little hands!


I hope you enjoyed it as much as the kids and I do!
