The Best of What Meegan Makes-2012

December 26, 2012 By Meegan 6 Comments

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!  Ours was full of family, friends, and food!!  I am now excited to share “The Best of What Meegan Makes-2012”!!

Vintage Cupboard Makeover:

I have showed you my antique cupboard before:

I LOVE this cupboard.  As a brief history, I received her from a friend who was going to take her to the dump!

 

I made her over a few months back.  She was working really well in this room, until I painted the room “Hint of Olive”.  Then the blue was clashing-REALLY bad!!

 

Pin It

So I got to work again.  This time I painted the core of the cupboard antique white.  And the silver drawers and cupboard doors with “Hint of Olive” by Ace Hardware.  Oh wow!!  SO MUCH BETTER!!!

 

I sanded her up a little and stenciled a few designs on her for some pizazz!!

 

It is interesting working with such an old piece of furniture.  You never how the surface will turn out while sanding it.  That is apparent in this picture.  I used the same grit sandpaper on both panels.  Interesting…
Pin It
Here she is again!!  The core is painted with antique white, the blue drawers are Olympic Satin “Turquoise Mist”, and the other drawers are “Hint of Olive” by Ace Hardware.  Lovely-just lovely!!  Now the room feels like it is coming together!!  You might also like to see my Family Gallery Wall hanging just above this cupboard.  Like I said, it feels like it is all coming together!  Whew!
Thanks for joining me for “The Best of What Meegan Makes-2012”!!  Now I am off to play with the grand kiddos!!  Come back again tomorrow for more of YOUR favorite posts!!

Getting Ready For Holiday Guests

December 20, 2012 By Meegan 2 Comments

Are you getting ready for Holiday guests??  Are you tired of the same way you make your bed everyday?  Do you want to spruce your guest room up??  I have a few simple and no cost ideas to do just that!!

 

But before I share these ideas with you, I am Guest Hosting for Grace over at: Kitchen Table Art today!!!

banner

I hope you will visit Grace and tell her I sent you!!

Okay, let’s get show on the road!!You have extra throw pillows, tight?  Extra blankets??  That’s all you need to make your guests fill warm and welcome!!

aa 020_wmThis is my bed most days.  Inviting, but I like to try other ideas, too!

 

aa 021_wmSame look, but with an added homemade afghan laid across the foot of the bed.  Just a little added warmth.

 

aa 024_wmNow I covered the pillows with the afghan, adding just a touch of color with one pillow.

 

 

aa_wmThese are pillows from our TV room.  I added a throw to the foot of the bed for texture.

 

aa 022_wmI LOVE color!  I brought these pillows in from our living room.  The colors flow perfectly with the bedroom.  More texture-more color.

 

aa 025_wm (1)During the warmer months I pull down the comforter and fold it in thirds at the foot of the bed.

 

aa 028_wmTo accomplish a fun look, leave your bedding a little messy.  It looks like someone actually lives here.  I added the TV room pillows, making them a little messy, too.

 

aa 032_wmIt’s nice just nice to remove the comforter altogether adding a few pillows.  Yes, I made the coral pillow.

 

aa 030_wmTake your shams off,  and add a couple of throw pillows.  Then add the color at the end of your bed with a colorful hand made afghan.  Adding another throw on top.
