Crafts

So I found this little treasure at the thrift store for $2. I liked that is was made of a good wood and the little flower on the front was cute so I thought that it might turn out cute in Scarlett's room if I fixed it up a bit.

 

It had this unattractive mauve-ish color velvet on the inside.

Pay no attention to the covered bottom .... I had already started :)

After a coat of primer I painted it this pretty mint color that I have been trying to incorporate into Scarlett's mostly pink and white bedroom and bathroom.

I covered the inside with scrapbook paper in a mint/turquoise flower print. I used this same pattern in her bathroom on a different craft so I thought adding it to her room would help tie them together ?? :)

Here it is finished on her dresser. I am hoping to cover that empty space above her dresser with a really pretty ornate mirror that I think I will (try to) antique-ishly paint mint and white. That is as soon as a find that perfect mirror!! I have been scouring the thrift store and craigslist but have had no luck so far.

I also found this little doll chair at the thrift store for $1. I painted it in the same mint color and added a different flower print that I also used in the bathroom. I think it turned out pretty cute...

I think Scarlett does too because she has really been making all my hard work worthwhile.

(side note: her baby has no clothes on because she has been into Toy Story 3 lately and "big baby" doesn't wear any clothes so she decided her baby wouldn't either.... haha!! Lets just hope she doesn't think to cover her in pen ink too!)
