Re-Vamping my Cedar Chest

By -
This cedar chest was given to me from my parents upon graduating from High School. I decided to see if I could make it a little more appealing for my entryway with a new coat of paint in an heirloom white and spray painted the hardware a brushed nickel. I love the results.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tracy! I love yours, and am excited to know you have one.

This does look so incredible! I have so many dressers a hutch, and I'm thinking of doing my kitchen table, just like this! Did you sand and prime? Was this chest solid wood? Or did you have any laminant on it? Most of my projects have a thin laminate on them (kind of like formica), and I wonder how that would turn out? Great job!

She made him a cozy little home out of a canning jar from our cabinet. It comes fully furnished with a bed made of grass and lettuce leaves. She couldn't resist sharing him with her best friend Jaden and his little brother Teagan.

It has been a really long time since we've had our family pictures taken (7 years to be exact). So with Caleb about to leave for the mission field we decided these pictures were a must. We had them taken at a local photo shop and I must say I really love how they turned out. Here are a few of our favorites! Above are Caleb, Me, Matt, Tayler, Colton, Miguel and Mikayla are below.

Fashionable Fan

Hot off the runways of Paris, it's the most stylish trend to wear to your sons football games (or any outdoor sport of your choice). My Dad thought this would be a great idea when I mentioned to him how cold I get when I watch the games. After seeking many thrift shops far and wide he finally showed up with this little beauty which came in an extra-large and was complete with it's own official patch (which means I'm apparently now part of the Scorpion's snowmobile gang). I must admit I felt a little like a grown up version of the kid whose Mom dresses him all up for winter in "A Christmas Story". Wearing this, you may be your kids number one fan, but they'll pretend not to know the crazy lady in the snowsuit hooping and hollering from the sidelines.
