Desk for Boys Room - Re-Purpose

I had my eye on some lockers I saw in a shop, but they were not for sale.  Well I finally got the call that they were available and I picked them up. I have had them for a little while now and knew I wanted to do something cool with them. First I just put them in my laundry room for storage. Nope, not what I wanted. So I moved them into the kids room. My plan was to put them together and place a table underneath for a cool media center. Again, I didn't care for it! Finally, I found exactly what they were meant for! YAY! My mom gave me a retro table and chair that fit perfectly under the lockers. LOVE IT!

And I couldn't resist taking a pic of my little NERD. They were playing dress up during my little redo! ;)

After I got it set up, it was time to decorate. I found an old atlas at a thrift store a year or so ago and wanted to make a wreath with it. Good thing I didn't because I ended up using it as wall paper behind the desk. I plan on using more on more of the wall, but this was cool and had to do it now. When I use more of it, I will scan it into the computer so I can print them and be able to use both side of the paper.  Then I will either pin them to the wall or glue them. I like the idea of pinning, that way, if I change the look later down the road, it will be easy to change. But for now, the map can be used for years to come. It's not too young or old.

Next I just added in some old road signs, soda crates, globe and a few knick knacks to finish it off. LOVE this desk area for my son. So excited at how it turned out and he has plenty of storage too!

I think the kids loved how it turned out too!

And my crazy kids had to post silly, of course! Love them!

I have a whole bunch of regular size lockers too that we got from a local junior high.  I am holding on to them until I can figure out exactly what I want to do with them. 
Any ideas? What you you do with lockers?

Thanks for stopping by to read Trendy Treehouse! XOXO

Fun Halloween Tablescape

My Mom's here today again to share her Halloween Table! YEAH!

Please go by her BLOG and thank her for stopping by!

All Hallows Eve TableScape.....

 I loved how this table came together....

 The tablecloth is actually a sheer curtain...it work amazingly well and I got the results I wanted...

 I found my WITCHES at TJ Maxx, along with my pumpkins and crows...

I love her WART!

 Target was my store for the Paper plates, napkins & coasters. I used my simple Pottery Barn plates as chargers....

 The candelabras were found at Ross....

I love my sparkling Spiders!

 I found the purple battery operated LED lights at Target and wrapped them in my ghostly table runners...They added an extra special touch to the TableScape

 My crystal wine glasses added a glamourous look. I CAN'T believe I have PAPER NAPKINS & PLATES mixed with my CRYSTAL!!! BUT...it LOOKS great!

 Too CUTE! And so in STYLE with her OWL!

All in All it turned out pretty darn CUTE!

 The friends & family that have seen the table have LOVED it!!!

The children that have seen the table are AWE struck!

This was a fun table to put together...

Happy Halloween with Style...

Thanks again for sharing MOM!

Decorative pics for your Fridge

I have been wanting to make-over my fridge for a long while. I love the kids artwork on there and I am sure they will have new art on there again very soon, but I cleaned it off for today to make room for some new things I made. Last week I shared my daughters collage for school. We stitched photos together with scrapbook paper and it turned out so adorable. I knew I had to make some for my fridge.

This is my before pic. It's not horrible, just a little messy. But yes, again I love clutter of kids art!

So we picked out some of our favorites (there will be more, a lot more, just haven't finished them yet) and some scrapbook paper. We then sat down at the sewing table to put them all together. After each photo was sewed, we also used some fancy scissors to give the edges a fun look too.

Here are some up close. We used different stitches and also multicolored thread.

Next we added some magnets to the back. I just picked up a roll of magnet tape that already had the sticky backs. Just trim them to fit your photo.  You may need to add two strips if you have a larger photo. And look....even the back of these look cute. LOL

Now all you have to do is put them up on the fridge. Doesn't that look much cuter?!? What I really love is now you don't have a magnet covering up your photo. You can see the whole thing. YAY!

Here are a couple more shots a little closer up. Just because I want to show them off. ;)

Sorry if they are a little fuzzy. I admit, these are phone pics today. 

So? What do you think? Love it? I do!

And you know what else is fun about these?  

You can easily change them out for each season or holiday. Just rotate in the photos you want. 

You can even use....

 greeting cards with messages on them

make the alphabet so the kids can spell things out

numbers and math symbols to work out equations (lol)

add your kids favorite animals to use to hold up their artwork

make it a matching game by sewing photos on the back (the kids can turn them over to match)

GIFTS....these would be so fun to make up to give as gifts too!!!

Obviously you can make endless magnets for your fridge. Have fun and please share what you did.

Have a great day everyone! Tonight is my daughters first volleyball game ever! Wish her and her team luck. Me too! I am helping coach the team. Eeeekkk! So excited!

DIY Wall Decor

I made these stars a couple years ago. I had seen some in a local store but they were bright colors and way too expensive. Hubby had some extra wood laying around so he helped me make these.

What you will need....

5 different colors of paint.... I used rustic colors... red, blue, green, brown and black.

Pliable wire for decor

Accent Fabric with like colors

Tools you will need...

Table Saw or Hand Saw

Drill with Drill bit

Pliers and round rod for bending wire

First I cut all the pieces. Sorry I can't remember the exact sizes but I made each stars 5 pieces all the same size then when down 2-3 inches each for the smaller stars.

Next paint your sticks to the desired colors. (you can also do a star in all one color) Use your sand paper to sand them down to give them the rustic look.

No you want to drill a hole at both ends of each stick. This is so you can hold the finished stars together.

Form your star the way you like it and take a small piece of wire and put it through the ends of the star. Curl over the back side to hold in place, then using your pliers and round rod, roll the wire making a curly Q on the front. Do this for all 5 sides.

Lastly, knot a piece of fabric on each end and your done.

Make 3 different sizes or display one large star. Can be used indoor or out. Just remember to use the correct paint and sealant if you would like yours outside.

Hope you enjoy your day!
