EASY DIY Optimus Prime Costume (Rescue Bots)

Image
My son Mason who is 3 years old (almost 4), wanted to be Optimus Prime for Halloween. He has been watching Transformers Rescue Bots for a few years now, so I knew I wanted to make the Rescue Bots version. I have made his last two Halloween costumes and I was really excited to make this one! So I sat down to do some research on it and Googled "DIY Optimus Prime costume" and a bunch of images popped up that seemed really hard to do and also really hard to trick-or-treat in looking quite boxy and hard to move in, so I just used them as inspiration and came up with my own version aka t he EASY version! Supplies: 2 cereal boxes (I used large Cheerios boxes) 1 additional cereal box to be cut up 2 small boxes (I used Keurig k-cup boxes that I had laying around) Duct tape: red, blue, metallic silver (I found mine on Amazon) 2 empty paper towel rolls Cotton balls Black construction paper Gray paint (I mixed black and white together because that's all I had) 1 pai

Project Organize: Home Office

Image
Recently, I decided I would take on the task of organizing our home. I am getting there slowly, but surely. The first (almost) completed project on my organizing to do list is my home office. I say almost because I still need to polyurethane the desk and put the new knobs on it. Other than that, it's completed and I couldn't wait to take pictures of it and share it! :) It was also great lighting this morning with the sun coming in through the windows, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I should also mention, we are almost done with a complete mudroom makeover, so stay tuned for a Mudroom Tour post! :) First, I'll show you the old desk area (picture taken June 2010). We inherited this desk from Michael's sister Laura and I painted it white and spray painted the knobs yellow (to match the chair, duh!). It's so funny looking back at old pictures of how I used to decorate and seeing how I've evolved as I have learned more of what I like. Anyways,

Kitchen Reno redo 2.0

Image
                              The ongoing saga of our cruddy old kitchen is finally over, for the most part.  We attempted the quick fix and failed and now with a little time, knowledge and cash we think we finally got it right. Our ceilings are lower than the average house so we couldn't buy stock cabinets.  We custom made everything and added some Rev-a-shelf accessories. So awesome!!  See the pictures below and be amazed... Original kitchen (aka the O.K.) We added the hardwood floor. O.K. counter As you can see it was quite an interesting set up. Here you can see the old floor (hideous!).  Our first renovation attempt was a cheap paint job on the cabinets and on the tile counter top. Yup..... we tried that.... We changed the island and painted the chairs. Here you can see our paint job. Looks good!! Nice pics of the O.K and staircase. We were happy with the counter paint but over time.... a short period of time... t
