{finished painted fireplace}

Happy Monday to you....
What a busy weekend it was for me!!
But if you knew me you'd know I love to be busy:)
I don't sit around for long!
The fireplace is all finished!! YEAH....
{If you're new....here is the before:)}
What a difference a small amount of $$$, a little reusing what you have and a little hard work can make:)
I continued the twine trend and twined a gourd that I grew over my arbor....

I also twined wine bottles and beer bottles....
What a great way to recycle your bottles!!
I am really happy with how everything turned out....
here is the left bookcase......

and the right bookcase.....

Did you notice we use wine boxes to store out wood in?!?!
I love that!
Most everything I just painted with a little spray paint and lightly sanded...
I think it's great to re-use what you already have!

I also spruced up the baskets with cute little chalkboard signs....
Go to the craft store and get those thin wooden shapes...

Spray paint them with chalkboard paint....

and then hot glue them on your baskets

Cute, I think:)

So what do you think!?!?

Do you like the change?!!?

Now....all we need to do is order new carpet {2 dogs and lots of wine spills=gross carpet}!!!!!

Yippee......I LOVE house projects:)
