Latest Habitat for Humanity find.

I wasn't going to post this until I was ready to unveil my twins finished room  but I was happy with how it turned out, and hey I cant hold water. lol

These are some things one may see at a thrift store, garage sale or estate sale and past by it. I saw these signs and it immediately reminded me of elementary school! . I got 4 signs for .90 so I couldn't pass them up,

This is where it all went bad, my inquisitive twin got a hold of the paint and got it everywhere!!!!

But I recovered the sign and repainted it  I think ill paint with a clear coat to cover imperfections.. Above you see a "rag swag" I made out of old diaper covers

 (see below) 

I just got these from an antique store yay

I need to add a hot pink element to tie all the colors in.

Twinecess Table and Stools d.i.y

After shopping around for a table and chairs my girls can use in the play room, I realized I had an old red Ikea Lack table at home. It has been sitting in a closet for like 4 years since my son out grew it and it had glue and water stains on it.

What's sad is I had all the materials at home with the exception of the orange chevron fabric. Remember I'm not a hoarder I just love a good deal lol. So here it goes.You'll need:

• 2 old electrical spools
• An old pillow (I used the same pillow for the previous Ikea hack)
• Ultra cute contact paper from marshalls 

• Fabric (zebra fabric is an old sheet, the pink tutu like fabric are curtains, the pink and black fabric I got a year ago at Goodwill. And I purchased the chevron fabric at Walmart.)
• 1 Ikea lack table I got for $5 yes I'm getting most of my money.

Take the legs off and cover both top and sides independently of one another. Smooth out bubbles using a credit card. If there are any other bubbles you miss just make a small prick in them with a pin. Then screw legs back on Wala!!! You have transformed your table. Since I used contact paper it's easy to clean and crayons or water soluble marker. 

Now for the stools. I know the spools don't look sturdy but they are. My husband stood on them and he's a pretty big Chap!! Above youll see my scrap fabric. I found the pink curtains for only 2.99 so I bought 5, I knew they'd come in handy.

Place the fabric over the spools and cut a square piece a little larger than your stool top. (sorry remember I don't measure lol eyeball tee hee)

Next place your pillow batting over the spool and cut a circle the same size as the top. 

Using a staple gun staple the fabric in place under the top of the stool make sure you pull the fabric tight. 

Now with the curtains I used a lot of fabric because I wanted the "tutu" look. 

I was going to glue a trim using a glue gun but realized it looked good like this.

What do you think?? The kids love them.... Stay tuned for more....
