Spring Renewal

Can you believe it we are in Spring!
I've been slow to awaken to spring, probably because the past winter was so incredibly long and cold. It seemed each time I peeked my head out more snow fell, so I figured I'd just stop peeking so it would go away.

However this week it seems to truly be showing signs that the snow is going.  Yay!!!
I find spring exciting and filled with a feeling of freshness. I have been busy participating in an online Spring Cleaning Challenge. I have found it to be a fun way to tidy up my home.

Of course spring wouldn't be spring without some home improvements. Over the past couple of weeks I gave our bathroom a fresh coat of paint and....chalk painted the vanity. The vanity was your typically builder grade white vanity so what better than a coat of ASCP in Coco. I love the look and it completely changed the feel of the bathroom.


I have an inexpensive bench that was practical but I just wasn't loving it. So out came the Coco paint again and I gave it a worn look. I picked up some fabric for $3.00 to cover the cushion ( I have enough left to make some pillow covers) and voila I have a cute little bench. I'll look for some nice baskets to finish it off.


As you can tell I haven't been making many cards of late. I've been distracted (in a good way) with some paint projects. At the end of the day it's all good !!!

Today, it's a little paint touch up on the bathroom trim and then to spring clean my craft room !!!! I'm excited to clean it. In all my creative moments my craft room tends to get messy so it's good when I get in there and organize. I actually have so much stuff I told my daughter that I'm not buying anymore craft supplies until I use up what I have or at the very least purge it down to what I absolutely love !!

I hope your Sunday is filled with the freshness of spring and the love of your family,

Hugs,
