Little Projects

 So, I have been working on a couple of small projects lately. I guess you could say it was nesting, but I don't feel that I have been nesting a ton. Just a little bit. 

Anyway, I got these cheap baskets for our changing table. They were chintzy and I could just see the diapers and clothes and blankets getting snagged on the insides of them, so I decided to make some simple basket liners.

Before: cheap and chintzy

After: Much better looking and more functional

I did some with the yellow and white print and then some with this geometric gray and yellow print

 So, my other projects have been artwork. I mainly wanted to do some art for the master bedroom. I am still working on it. Or rather, every once in a while I get all my stuff together and do some painting after the kids are in bed. So, I played around with the paints and stuff when I first got them and decided that the kids room needed some more color and art on the walls. I will have to take pictures of the room itself. One wall is a navy blue and the rest of the walls are a beige color. So, I painted some multi-colored hombre-esque paintings and then I did a larger canvas with a chevron print. I just got them hung up today and think they look decent.

And this is what Eve painted. I had an extra canvas and so she used her watercolors on it. I really like this one. I want to display it in the living room or in the master bedroom.

 Anyway, I do need to work on the large canvas for our bedroom. I have started and just need to get working on it more. It will be interesting to see if I can create what I imagine in my head, or create something that is decent enough. It is a HUGE canvas for above the bed and I want it to be good. We'll see!
