Home: KnickKnack Holder

I had quite a few nicknack's hanging out on my shelf so I was delighted when I found the perfect "home" for them. Sure it was forest green coloured and had an old mirror affixed to the back. Nothing a few coats of paint and a pry bar couldn't fix. Now it's hanging on my wall and looking oh so cute. I just need to go more places to collect more meaningful knickknacks! I also decided you might want to know their stories:

Home: Desk Organizer Re-Vamp

SO UGLY! I got this baby for $6.00 at Value Village. I was seriously attracted to the roll-up right side. So what better project then to paint this bad boy and see what happens. I lightly sanded this to get the varnish off and applied 3 coats of acrylic paint. I then sealed it with Mod Podge and Voila!

Couldn't be happier with the end result! Oh and that fabulous velvety yellow drawer liner was in the original!
