My Post



So I can not take credit for this at all. Because without my friend, Jade who bought the wood, cut the wood, and helped me step by step to figure out how to put the thing together. Anyways without her it would still never have happened. But I am sooo glad it came together. Such a fun spot to hang our seasonal signs. I spray painted mine black, stained the edges and a clear coat of poly. This is my official first piece of furniture. Is a post a piece of furniture? Well lets pretend, because it really wasn't that easy but it really wasn't that hard to make. I think I am definitely going to try making more furniture pieces in the future :).




I got this idea from my younger sister Erika. She redid her old childhood jewelry box about 3 months ago. It turned out so cute. She used old clip on earrings for the handles! cute. Anyways I bought mine at a thrift store for $1.50, and I had the paint and the rest of the supplies on hand so this didn't cost hardly anything to redo. I just painted it pink, sanded the edges and for the drawer pulls since thy were missing. I got big savorski crystal beads and glued those on. Then me & Jade made the owls. I love how they tunred out. I think I might make some more owls fo Maddies room. :)
