Gimp Tutorial – Vintage Clock Face

In this tutorial I’m doing a quick How To in under half hour for a vintage clock using 4 different images with the free image manipulation software GIMP. If you don’t have GIMP,  download it at https://www.gimp.org/. It’s more than a fair alternative if you don’t have access to Photoshop.

You will need:

A  selection of images. All the images in this post is in the public domain or for personal, not commercial, use only.
GIMP image manipulation software or Photoshop.

Convert a Chest of Drawers to a Counter Top Bathroom Vanity (A work in progress)

We had some water damage in our main bathroom, a little mini flood that went all into our main bedroom, the passage and a little over the thresholds in the kids bedrooms where we have laminated flooring. The water made our bathroom cabinet swell to twice it’s size and it created the perfect opportunity for me to replace it with a solid wood chest of drawers vanity which I’ve always wanted in both our bathrooms. The cabinets in both our bathrooms were made of compressed board. Its really odd that c**p like that would be installed in a high moisture area.

French Bed Restoration- How to restore Wooden Furniture

French Bed DIY Restoration

I’m currently working on 7 projects at the moment (French Bed Makeover, Counter Top Bathroom Vanity, Coffee Table Remodel, Two Tone Oak Outside Bar , Oak Coffee Table Makeover, Painted Piano, Shaker Bookcase update) . Today I will  start again with my best project but they are all a work in progress. I have an obsession with French Provencal, French Country and Farm House decor with a little bit of Shabby Chic thrown in as well so when I saw this bed in my moms house I literally begged it off her. Luckily my mom is a nice lady who loves to see her kids happy so I didn’t have to do too much begging and lucky for me she couldn’t see the potential of how this bed might turn out with a fresh lick of paint.

Neutral Boys Nursery on a Budget

Neutral Nursery with Color Accents

I had the exciting task of turning our playroom into a nursery/playroom on a budget. Luckily I could never give away any of my childrens baby things so the only things I had to purchase was a rocking chair and a toy chest. Not that I’m planning on No.4 but the blues in a neutral nursery like this can easily be swapped out for pink or teal for a girl.
