so let me start with a thank you and an apology to my super crafty blog friends. i love seeing all the crafty and creative things you do, and from time to time i enjoy stealing said ideas for my own. which is what i did this weekend. we'll start with the idea i stole from Katie Mann. Andrew and I went on a "DI Date". We got ten dollars cash and set out to find a lamp to keep next to our bed so we don't have to get up and stub our toes to turn out the lights. (and we totally felt like Jim and Pam from the 5K Run for a Cure episode.. all you Office fans know what I'm talking about) anyway, we found this beauty...
which is so perfect with our house already.. and it was 5 dollars. (score!) but we had a hard time finding a shade to go with it.. so we ended up with this.
and we spent a grand total of $5.75. (yes, this lovely pink thing was only $.75. love it) but we still had the problem of a mismatched lamp. so when we got home i found some black fabric and blue ribbon and my trusty glue gun and i set to work. it took me a few hours.. but i ended up with this...
it's definitely not perfect but for under 6 dollars i will take it! :) my next project was turning this madness...
into organization. so i took a leaf out of Andrew Aunt Marci's book and got some old picture frames that i had lying around.. andrews power tools.. and some little screw hooks and made some magic.
and this was the result. i think i did a pretty good job if i do say so myself.
and andrew is very happy about it because now our bathroom vanity isn't cluttered anymore!
So.. all in all.. it was a busy Saturday. I completely surprised myself by having enough energy to complete such tasks.. but i was very pleased with the result! and DI dates are my new faves! it was so fun!
