Crafting on Easter

Happy Easter, everyone. I hope you all had a great day with your families.
We relaxed, I painted a bit, watched movies, the girls looked for eggs.
My husband made me coffee and breakfast in bed. Sigh.
I cooked a nontraditional meal for dinner.
It was all very low key, I loved it!
I hid their baskets and they had to do a scavenger hunt to find them
They loved that!

I thought I would show you my painting project.
I have been wanting to get to this one for a bit but you know how that goes.
This is the before of the console.
That is my bedroom in the background, lots of painting needed in there!
This is a wide hallway that leads to the bedroom.



After! I love it a lot more now.



I put a new knob on it and
 distressed it a bit.


I shopped around my house and moved things around.


 I love this chippy garden sign and it was in an area where you didn't really see it.
Now you do!


I love bird houses and this one is adorable. It has the same chippy green paint as the garden sign.


We got snow yesterday, :( about 3 inches. It is snowing again as I type this.
We put 8 yards of mulch in yesterday, when it stops snowing I will take pictures so I can show you the before and afters of that.
Have a great week!

  1. Wow, you had 3 inches of snow. We had a light dusting this morning but it didn't stick. It wouldn't be Easter in CO without snow or rain. Love the knob on your console table. You did a nice job painting and distressing it!

    Happy Easter!

  3. I woner if snow on Easter is even possible in KY? A very warm and rainy springtime here.
    Matt made dinner--also non-traditional but good. We are all wanting to work in the gardens, but too wet!
    I like the arrangement on the console table--any display I create is subject to rearrangement by the cats!
