4.00 Nightstand Makeover

I scored this darling nightstand at Savers for $4.00 the other day! We needed one for Lou's bedroom and this was perfect in every way!

Here it is before the makeover:

And here it is after! What a transformation! I'll post pics of it in her room once we move into the new house.

True to form for my painting techniques, I didn't sand or prime it first. We did give it a good cleaning however.

I painted it Narcissus by Sherwin Williams using a Glidden color match sample jar from. Home Depot. The sample was $2.50 I believe. I purchased the crystal knob at Silver Star Hardware, a local, independently owned shop by our house. The knob was $4.50.

So the total cost was $11.00 for this cute little nightstand! I could've saved a couple bucks by buying the knob at Hobby Lobby but it's a drive out there and I like to support local businesses when I can.

Pancakes and Pajamas Party

This was such a fun, easy party to put together. It was probably the least expensive party I've ever done. Although I'm posting today, this happened on September 16th.

I set a table for 18 girls.

The tablecloth was simply a roll of purple wrapping paper from the Dollar Store. Quick, cheap, and easy clean up!

The yellowates and striped flower plates were also from the Dollar Store. 

The cups, blue plates and striped round plates were from Zurchers.

Savanna and Brooklyn had fun making the cupcake liner table runner. We flattened the 

liners and I taped them together on the back with scotch tape. This project took us about 10 minutes and cost no more than $2.00. I bought the cupcake liners on clearance at Michaels for 50 cents and also bought a pack at Zurchers for $1.00.

For the party favors we put gum balls into these long, skinny cellophane bags that I ordered on etsy several years ago. We bought 3 bags of gum balls of Zurchers for about $1.50. Then we topped them with stickers Savanna had in her room.
