Home Makeover Edition

First off, I'm excited for the weekend just to see who the winner will be for the giveaway! Keep those followers/comments coming! However, on to the real post for the day...

Like I mentioned on Monday, we've been busy down here in Florida. The good kind of busy. Getting things done and seeing the result. Kind of like vaccuming. Instant satisfaction. We started with the nursery. We had to make a room that for the last 2 years has been 1 little man's room and has now become a room for 2 little boys. It is pretty darn cute! When the room was just for little man, Sis splurged and bought those really cute metal Anthropologie letters and spelled out his name over the crib. Well we decided to save the $$$ and make our own letters for Baby O. We got a cool leather mirror made out of a saddle on Etsy. And we're making new curtains for the window. Here's the before,process, and after...


Now for two little guys


Here is the before picture of the letters. They are just paper/cardboard craft letters from JoAnn fabric.
There were more complicated tutorials out there on the internet on how to copy the Anthro letters but we went with our own easy fast method. It's called match the color with spray paint. We used RustOleum's Silver Hammered Spray paint. It worked perfectly and matched better than we could have hoped.
Here is the final product. The letters look a bit off but that's only due to the sun hitting that side of the room.
