Dresser Revamp

Materials:

• Dresser
• Wrapping Paper
• Staple gun
• Washi Tape
• Baskets
• Drawer hardware
• Screw driver

My poor tired dresser from college needed an update bad!  With a few quick fixes it has a brand new look in basically one day.  

I took out two of the drawers to create an open space for baskets on the top portion.  To cover the backer I stapled some pretty wrapping paper.  To outline the edges of the dresser I used washi tape that happened to be the exact width of the edges.  I love this product because it went on quickly and if I get tired of the solid black look I can change it out to whatever I want next.  There are so many washi tape designs to choose from.  Lastly I removed the lame plastic drawer pulls and replaced it with a more modern metal look.  The new drawer hardware was about $5 each from home depot.

DIY Honeymoon Piggybank

DIY Honeymoon Piggybank

Super easy and fun project to give to your newly engaged friend or family member.  In this case my Aunt!

Materials:

- Shadowbox frame (Got mine at Target)

-Pictures of exotic places

-Thumb tacs

-Sharpie

-Tool to cut a hole in the top of the box

-Money

First I had my handy husband cut a hole in the top of the shadow box.  I made sure to buy a frame that was wood since plastic some times splinters.

Then I printed pictures out and tacked them to the bulletin board that came with the shadow box.  I picked a bunch of random places since I had no idea where she wanted to honeymoon exactly.

Then I sharpied "Honeymoon Fund" onto the glass in the front.  I should have used a different color than silver to make it pop more.  Lessons learned for next time I guess.

Final step is to add the dough and gift away!
