And It's Finished

It's finally done! I can see the floor! I am so in love with our new shelves and all the storage space!! Oh man, I can hardly contain myself.

A place for all of the clothes and extra spots for books...

Stuffed animals...

And of course you can't forget the trucks! I feel like I can finally just relax a little bit. Ahhhh

Something you might try out yourself? I highly recommend it. Oh! And make sure you watch out for us in the next couple of days. I see an apron giveaway in our future and I'm sure there is someone out there who wants it... right...right?! :D

New Built-Ins

We were having dresser problems in my boys room. This meant that we were having major mess issues, like piles of folded clothes sitting on top of drawers that were always sticking out because I broke the tracks trying to shove too many clothes inside of them. I admit, I have an addiction to Old Navy. But, it is easier to fix the dresser problems then the addiction problem which to me is not a problem, just don't ask my husband about it ;).

(And this is after it was cleaned off and moved to start our project! EEK!)

So I think I have mentioned on here before that I have a small house and my boys room was in desperate need of some floor space.  My dad (he's awesome) and I came up with a plan to give me a place for all of their clothes and to store their toys in too! Here is what we have so far...

And Mr. Finn loved "helping" Grandpa fix the shelves!

So for the rest of the week I'll be working on painting and arranging, working on pulling this all together. Hopefully I will have a finished project to show by the end of the week! I hope you all have a productive week too!!

May Preview!

This May we are going to be Bringing Spring! We are super excited about all of the great projects that we have going on at our homes whether it's cute planters, putting in a garden, or just taking something outdoors and giving it a little some-some extra. Can anyone say outdoor mod podge? Woo-hoo! We got started with the front of my house this weekend. My hubby got excited and started pulling all of the crap out before I could get a good before shot, but here is a little of the work in progress :D

I'll admit, my hubs did a lot (and by a lot, I mean pretty much all) of the dirty work. I'm not a sweating, dirt type of girl, never have been. But the pretty that is going to come through here is going to be all me. Except for the dirty parts, as stated above.

Isn't he cute? All hard working and stuff. So, what are you doing to Bring Spring?  What cute craft have you come up with to help keep that sunshine coming? If you don't have a yard, show us how you are bringing spring into your homes! We would love for you to share your projects with us and we'll feature our favorites with all of our readers out in bloggerville. Feel free to email them to scrapsnstrings (at) hotmail (dot)com.
