FROM DRAB TO FAB TAG FROM JENN

SO when you check out jennifer, jill and jayne's post you will see that they have turned something drab into something very fab, so i guess it is my turn! Most these projects are old, but i haven't done that much decorating lately, except for our bedroom that still isn't quite done. We still haven't even hung my gorgeous chandelier yet, in fact i still haven't even taken it out of the box. Call me pregnant, i know.
Here goes...SO this was the chandelier that the builder put in with those ugly etched looking glass shades, well i replaced those with frilly, crystal beaded ones, ripped up a wreath from Marshalls and laced it through the rod iron and then hung long crystals underneath the shades and painted the crystals pink... much improved.
WHy have a regular white ceiling medallion in a nursery when you can't paint it to match all the colors in the room?


My former uncle got rid of his dark brown laminate/wood desk and i asked my aunt for it and painted it fresh white and "dolled" it up a bit. It needs knew knobs desperately!!


Some folks may love this stained blue armoir with the pine knots showing through. Not me, when we moved it from the office it had to be painted white and i LOVE the aqua porcelin flower knobs and the pink knobs. WHen you open it I have the yellow knobs on the drawer. Much better in my opinion.

So keep the tag going and let us see what you have turned fab from drab!

Girl, you know I'm a fan. You just have a knack.... sometimes I think I could actually do a more feminine thing in my house, but then Benjamin comes charging through a room full blast, wings out and head down, and I'm back in reality... no tea sets and crystal or china for me!!! Not today anyway! Congrats on the babies....thrilled for you and don't worry - if anyone can do twins, it's you. - AMY

One day I'm going to figure out a style and work on it (maybe when we are done with school in several years or so). I love everything you have done, especially to your daughter's room, from a previous post while ago. Love it love it! Hope you are feeling well and can't wait to hear more on the pregnancy!!!
