Dresser Revamp

I know I usually only talk about scrapbooking on my blog but from time to time I will talk about other creative items. So today I want to show you a dresser revamp my husband and I did for our home. We had this old ugly dresser in our bedroom that I always wanted to fix up. I think someone gave it to us when we first got married. So one night we decided we would finally do it.  Here is the dresser before. I forgot to take pictures of it assembled but it just had 4 drawers.

And here is our dresser after. Our bedroom is all light blue and black/brown, so we decided to paint the dresser blue and the knobs are black.

So here is how we did it. Since we use it as a TV stand as well we decided to get rid of the top drawer and turn it into a shelf for our cable box and DVD player. We just cut the bottom of the drawer out and screwed it on to make a shelf. Then we sanded the whole thing down and painted three coats of paint. Once it dried we put the new knobs on. So easy and we love how it turned out.

And the best part about it was how cheap it was. Here is what we paid for it:

Sand paper, paint, and paint brushes: $11.72

New knobs: $2.33 (I had a $15 gift card to the place I bought them at)

TOTAL: $14.05

It was such a cheap way to make the dresser look a lot cuter. I'm now inspired to take on more project, hope you are too.

Digital Cards

I always make my Christmas cards, invitations and announcements digitally for a number of reasons. They are really easy and quick to make, they are pretty cheap to print, and they look really nice and cute.

Check out a few examples of cards I have designed:

I just create them in 5x7 size on my computer and then have them printed. If I want them printed on photo paper I usually print them at Costco or where ever else is cheap. If I want them to look a little nicer I have them printed at Persnickety Prints on nice fabric  paper.

I love these kinds of cards and invitations because you can print just a few or a lot and they don't take very long. I have also printed some and them emailed the card to others in order to save a little money. The possibilities are endless.

Did you also know I have some blank baby shower invitiations in my store. All you need to do is add writing and print them off or email them. So quick and easy. Check them out here and here.
