What The Duck Is It?

I am so happy to share that my best friend Kelly is expecting baby number 2! You may recall the baby shower dessert table I designed for her first child, Isaac. Click HERE to see more about that.
Kelly and her husband Dave went for my suggestion of doing a gender reveal party for this baby. At their ultrasound the doctor put the gender in a sealed envelope which I picked up from them. I had to hold my excitement for about a week. We settled on the theme "What The Duck Is It?" so I made a duck cake and cupcakes, the inside was colored to represent the gender. Check it out!

 

So the question of the day...What the duck is it???

A BOY!!!!!

Congrats Kelly, Dave and Isaac!!! 
Thanks for letting me be part of sharing the big news!

 

Bedroom Closet Makeover

Yesterday I shared with you how I made over my bedroom door and closet door. Today check out what I did to the inside of my bedroom closet!

This is what my closet looked like before. I attempted some creative organizing but it really wasn't working out.

   

Here is what it looks like after! Well without all of my clothes and stuff in it yet!

 

I decided to utilize the door as jewelry storage. I am a visual person and need to see my options laid out in front of me.

 

I covered the shelf with left over contact paper from my Pantry Project. I painted the inside blue with a 50's starburst retro design in aqua. 

 

Originally I had planned to use different door knobs to hang bangles and bracelets on. However door knobs are expensive. Instead I used glitter on some clear gems and hot glued them to long screws.   

 

For an added burst of fun, I painted outer frame of the door hot pink!!   

 

I wanted to create a whimsical vibe so I changed the door knob and added a key hole plate to it. The key hole part isnt functional but it looks fantastic! 

 

Here is the inside with all of my clothes and jewelry. Nice, neat, and organized!

For a little added glam I made this faux chandelier.

I also love elephants so when I found this crystal elephant pull chain, I had to have it! 

    

The final touch was to organize my clothes. I organize by color then sleeve length. I made these dividers for easy organization.

So what do you think?! I hope you love it as much as I do! Every morning its like opening a secret door to wonderland!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Emerald Green Doors

This season emerald green is the hot color. Little did Panetone know, I was already obsessed with it! Well, ok, maybe obsessed with green in general. The floor plan of my house is mostly green. Including my bedroom. However, my bedroom door and closet door were the standard wood. Blah blah, booooring!
Here's what they looked like before:

See how lame and boring?

Meh. Blah.
And then I transformed them with paint!!!! Taaaa Daaaa!!!

Why no, thats not a different door on the right (my closet). I changed the door knob and I attached Dollar Store frames to the door for architectural detail.

 

Stay tuned, the door makeover was just the beginning!!

Are you getting in on the emerald green trend? What projects are you turning into this season's hottest color?
