I am so excited/bummed about this post. I know I am full of it, contradictions that is. Wait what did you think I was talking about?!?! Nevermind. Like I said before I love to take super expensive things that are overpriced I really want but wont buy and make them! Like these books from {Restoration Hardware}
They are $29.00 a bundle. Stop laughing thats really how much they are! So here is what I did. I had a bunch of old readers digest books that I got from the DI about 5 years ago. Back then they were .25 a piece. I ripped the covers off of them and wrapped some Jute around them blah blah blah. I got the little metal letters from Tai Pan for .75 each because they were the random letters that nobody wants. Unless your name is Quinesha or Xantie.
Then I used some of this:
And this:
And started doing this….
But then my husband got sick and cant install her. Devastating I know. So check back on Monday to hopefully see me like this:
Mandi! This is your crazy old roommate Jess. Ya know, the awkward tall volleyball girl?! I saw your feature on All Things Thrifty and new it was you after the Durangos comment! 😉 LOVE this blog! You are so dang crafty and your girls are adorable. I love your revival with the Readers Digest books! Too cute! I’ll be blog-stalking you from now on!
So I just linked to your blog after going to all things thrifty. Thought I would pass a hint along. I have done a few pieces of furniture with the Kilz per A.T.T. and I have found that if I shake the cans longer than the minute the can says I don’t have the sandpaper. Go closer to two minutes. If I sprayed and it was sandpaper-y I shook it some more and every time it fixed it. Good luck, I’m now a follower!
