Great Quote + Some Paint + Time = New Pillow

Hi there again!

I'm not big on quotes, but lately came across a couple a really liked. I found this one by Theodore Roosevelt some time ago and wanted to do something with it. So I did :)

The arrows just came randomly. Basically they were the first thing that came to my mind when I had the white fabric and black paint in front of me. I had no stencils, but I did have masking tape! Cut some pieces and voila! Arrows!!

Hope you liked it!

File Cabinet Revival

I've been thinking on doing this project for a while... And I finally did it! Ahhhhh..... Again that sense of accomplishment. I love it!

I'm in Maui, so finding old cheap furniture to work with is not easy. Garage sales, Craigslist, used furniture stores, even Salvation Army... All so expensive compared to the US mainland!!! But I guess we gotta work with what we have, so I decided to overpay for an old used dirty file cabinet I found on CL. Oh well...

It is my first "before and after" project. More like a face lift than a full transformation. Easy, kinda quick, and not a whole lotta work involved. Just paint, sand, paint, sand, paint. And here it is. Hopefully I can pin down my landlady and get a piece of wood she claims she has to convert this cabinet into a desk (or a part of it). If that happens (not if!! when, WHEN!), I'll be posting photos of the finished project. Stay tuned!
