BEFORE

AFTER

All you need is a lil imagination of what it can become and lots of  stretching out the branches to make it look 

full. When I do the winter wonderland theme I stuff pillow stuffing in between layers for that full snowed in effect. I also look for broken Christmas trees on clearance and use the same effect of adding additional branches for the full look.

Christmas door decor

my sister in law needed door decors for her double doors and put me up for the challenge

she did not want to spend money on 2 big wreaths so we looked around the house and I found a few things and this is what I came up with..... SUPER CUTE

updating your laminet kitchen cabinets

if you have particle board kitchen cabinets that are falling apart, there is hope as you can see here my 2 year old grandson helped me paint them

"

first thing I did was remove the front laminate that was peeling off and I sanded them.fyi some of the laminate I had to remove with a heat gun because some areas were glued more than others.

 

next I sanded the down, and painted with paint that has a build in primer for stains, oils etc

I got my inspiration from this video

 

 

I WILL ADD MORE PHOTOS OF MY FINISHED CABINETS
