cute crafty things <3

This is something Chad made for Madelyn... I thought it was SO CUTE! So we framed it and put it on one of the shelves in her room.

After I got home from work today (and after getting some inspiration from Chad) I decided to do something from my chore list. Maybe I shouldn't call it a chore... it's more like a "to do" list of projects for baby Madelyn. I have been debating whether or not I should paint the drawer pulls or buy new ones. Since I am on a pretty tight budget (uhm... aren't we ALL?) I decided to paint them!

My Mom has a plethora of paints but they are all from the early 90s, maybe even the late 80s. I tried to use them but most of them were hardened and Chad then suggested, "Why don't you just mix your own colors?". DUH!!! I don't know why I didn't think of that to begin with. I took a color theory class about a year 1/2 ago and I still have my paints. So I mixed my own colors and here is how it came out.I am really happy with it, they were just wood colored before... I am also thinking about painting all of the furniture white whenever we move into our own place. Ideas? What do you think?
