DIY Gold Painted Desktop Storage Container

 

For my mom cave (home office/craft room) I needed a 3 drawer storage container that would fit on my bookshelf or desk for some of my crafting supplies. I found a white plastic Sterilite container from Target for $4.99 and used some extra spray paint from my filing cabinet makeover.

This looks so much better then just the plain white and so quick and easy...it's amazing what just a little spray paint can do :)

DIY Painted Filing Cabinet

We have been in desperate need of a filing cabinet for all of our important and loose paperwork scattered everywhere since we moved (um almost 2 years ago :-/ )  and I really wanted to find a cheap old one and give it a new funky look for my new mom cave/home office. 

So here is what I did:

 

Cheap filing cabinet...I picked this one up from Goodwill for $10

 

Hubby brought out the electric sander for and did the hard work for me :) 

 

Spray Paint used from Lowes

Hubby also painted the inside with the same metallic paint we used for the handles, love the way it turned out

 

My mom cave is coming together beautifully! We have about half of the room done, it's still a little work in progress but I can't wait for the finished product :)

Winnie the Pooh Fall Baby Shower

I was very excited to throw my cousin her baby shower this weekend. I remember as soon as she told me she was pregnant I almost immediately said "I'm throwing you a baby shower!" She is due at the beginning of December and I was really thrilled that October just happened to work out as the perfect time for everyone to have the shower. Winnie the Pooh was my cousin's favorite thing when she was little so what perfect shower theme then a Fall Winnie the Pooh baby shower for her and her little man coming soon. I used all my own fall decorations that I already had from Walmart and The Dollar Tree from a few years ago and got some baby pumpkins to scatter around the house with some other DIY decor. I found the invitations from Party City which were perfect!

My cousin's dad made this awesome winnie the pooh sign! 

Fall scented hand sanitizers from Bath and Body Works as thank you take-aways

Entry table with thank-you note envelopes for guests to fill out their addresses

The little winnie the pooh board books I found in the dollar spot at Target!

I made this banner with his name on it as shower decoration and she can use it in her nursery after!

The momma-to-be's seat at the shower

DIY fall banner kit found for $5 at Target made great decoration on the gift table.

My uncle also made this winnie the pooh honey pot for cards!

My husband made these place card holders out of wood in our backyard

Vanilla Bee Cupcakes made by a local girl, Cakes by Cristy! So delicious
