Lane chest

AFTER

Here it is green and pink, what a difference a coat of paint, fresh fabric and new hardware make. I had a lot of people question my color choice at first, perhaps they though of a hunter green? We had the hardware for a couple of years now -just sitting in the spare parts drawer- it was intended for the entertainment center, but at the end decided it was not the right look.

BEFORE
We aquired this chest from a family member who no longer wanted it. I wasn't sure what to do with it or who to place it with at first, but after a couple of months of having it just sit there, I decided to get to work on it.







It will go in the girls room (since Belli already claimed it and is using it as s home for her stuffed animals), I have not decided on the fabric in which I will recover it but I know the finish will be in a antique green, yes, green.

Alejandra's poodle birthday

Marlenn requested this poodle theme for Alejandra's 5th Birthday, and I think it suits her perfectly, she is so prissy and proper...and she even waddles when she walks!

THE PARTY FAVORS...

Marlenn gave out this super cute cups with some yummi marshmallow candies for the moms.


THE CUPCAKES...
I had to frost the cupcakes on location because they would have messed up during travel time. The piping was not perfect but the kids didn't seem to mind...


THE INVITATION


different shades of pink and black
