The Fix-It bug caught Char (and I love it) having done Heidi Anne's bed he is refinshing our bed as well. He orginally did it nearly 5 years ago when we lived back in Aggie Village, in the middle of winter, with no space to really work on it properly.
Now we're out of Aggie Village, there is a garage with Lots of space, yet oddly enough it's nearly July and it's bearly starting to feel like summer, (come to think of it-we hardly got a spring). Well 2 out 3 works for me!! :)
We're working on a few other little things for Heidi Anne's room too, we're thinking of maybe making a room make over/update for her 3rd birthday. It's still staying Pink and Green (she LOVES those colors) and bugs, mainly Butterflies and Dragonflies, and flowers, and just upgrading to a more "Big Girl" versions of them.
Something she'll like until she's 10 or 11. (Then she'll want black walls or something-but thats a battle for 8 years down the road-right now it's Flower Time!!)
I am open to some ideas on her dresser. It was Chars growing up, we wanted to get her a new one, since it's falling apart here and there. But due to other priorities a new dresser is out. Instead its wood glue and spray paint. I was thinking of painting the sides pink, and the face sage green, then getting new handles. Maybe stencil some cute little butterflies or flowers on it too? Just some thoughts--Val any tips? (=^_^=) You name it she can craft it-or Brandon can build it and she can craft it.
As for the rocking chair-I am thinking of just covering up the cushions with some leftover fabric we have-it's Pink (of course) with white poka dots. So maybe it will look like a pink and white lady bug.
Oh you're talking to me :) Well, spray paint sounds like a good place to start. If you want it to last you'll want to sand and prime it first. Luckily they make spray on primer. I've never stencilted anything, but now that you mention it I can think of a few things to try it on.
