My Projects
Zoe’s rash is gone! YAY! Thank God it’s over. It’s the worse when she’s sick AND cranky. Today we got up and she was in such a great mood. She was so cute and loveable and just giggling all morning. Why can’t you be like that all the time Zoe? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? I’m just glad to have my happy lil pipsqueak back.
So projects…..
I have been working on a few projects at home. And I’m done a lot of them.
Bird House :: I bought this from Crate & Barrel online. It was on sale for less than 9 bucks so I bought one for my mom as well. I spray painted the roof to give it a little color.
Mailbox :: So the mailbox that the house came with was black and starting to rust. I love what a little spray paint can do.
The Deck :: So we finally dolled up the deck. We got an outdoor rug, a table and some chairs, a grill, an umbrella, and some plants. We also got Zoe her own little outdoor chair as well. I found the bench and plant stands at Ikea and thought they needed a splash of color as well.
This is what the deck looked like before we moved in.
This is how we spruced it up. We still need to treat the wood. However that’s the hubby’s project.
So as you can see, I’m a bit of a spray painting whore.
I’m still working on her rocking horse.

You’ve got such a beautiful place. YAY for Zoe’s rash being gone. I died when I saw Damian’s heat rash. I can’t help but feel so sorry for him.
Oooh I want to whip a can of spray paint out and beautify something! Awesome job on the deck!
@WaterfallPhilosophies - i know right? you’re like “GOD, GIVE IT TO ME INSTEAD!” what did you use for his heatrash?
its sooo awesome you have outdoor/backyard space. lucky duck… i only have a parking spot.
@PetiteMandoo - Nothing, we just put the A/C on and let him run around with his diaper. My doctor facebooked me and said to put cold compresses on him if is starts to get worse but luckily it went away in 2 days.
I love your deck…and the outdoor rug (no splinters!)
Your deck looks so inviting and friendly! What kind of spraypaint do you use?
i love how you beautified your outdoor space! we’re not going to do anything until we move…which will be, who knows when!
Your desk looks so cozy now!
Reading all of your project posts makes me want to go out and buy spray paint to paint something… but nothing to paint! LOL.
Btw, where did you get your outdoor table set at? It looks really nice and not like the typical sets I’ve seen.
