Daddy and Momma BiRD

Here's What I Did

I found these little ugly birds at the Dollar Tree (they do have a cute shape).

 I actually bought 5 of them and then just picked out one that looked like a Daddy and one that looked like a Momma. Can you guess which is which? Then I rattle canned them BLuE.

I found these three different pieces at Hobby Lobby (all 50% off).

I stacked them up, put a little birds nest in the top and the birds down below.

It's kinda hard to see the detail in the photo, so here are some close ups.

I've had this nest for like 4 years.

I think it might need a little ribbon on the top. We will see.

Blue Toy BoX

Sis needed a toy box for her living room. She has two little boys that love cars and trains and needed a place to store them. 

This is what we found at the D.I. (local thrift store) for $15. 
I know, a good deal huh!

We just cleaned it up and then decited to paint the whole thing bluish gray, 

hardware and everything.

Then I sanded it down. Sis wanted this to look pretty rustic so we went to town with the sander.

I sanded the hardware too.

And lastly, I stained over the whole thing with my favorite stain.

I know my shadow is in this photo but the sun was going down fast and I didn't have too many options.

Now you have an idea of what my hair looks like when I am redoing. Scary.

See the difference. I love it!

After we were all done we thought it looked a little dark, so we wiped it down with some Mineral Spirits and it lighted it right up. Here it is!
