This & That...

I am so bad at remembering to take "before" pictures when I have a project in mind. I usually just jump head first into whatever it is I want to create and not until I'm halfway done do I think I should have taken a "before" photo. Well such is life and that's exactly what happened with this project so all you get are the afters...

I purchased this curio cabinet for $5.00 a few months ago with this project in mind and I finally set aside the 15 minutes it took to complete the transformation. Ryan has this really sweet collection of his grandmothers hummingbirds and tea cups and I knew this would be the perfect way to display them in our breakfast nook.

I measured and cut out some scraps from a few of my vintage sheets and mod podged them on the back of some of the boxes...Easy Peasy! Now I have a little home for some of the sweetest littles of my collection. Now just to show you I can keep it real please ignore the dust that's collected on my re-styled curio...
