more bedroom upcycles

I got more things done for Lauren's room!!!

I picked up this cute shelf unit a few months back (off of craigslist, where else?) and just let it sit until I actually got started on things for Lauren's room:

Here is the finished product!

I had a broken lamp that had an adorable wooden base, just waiting for inspiration...

I picked this little birdhouse up at Joann's in the states:
(sorry about the REALLY poor quality photo -- the light was terrible and I couldn't get the camera to focus!!!)

And this is the finished product!

On my other blog a while ago, some of you might recognize this wrought iron piece I picked up at sally ann for super cheap:


I was planning on putting it in our entrance way when it was renovated:

Since then I made NEW plans to put a different piece from our kitchen wall down there, so had no place for this piece.

UNTIL....

I got these vintage photos from a friend, who printed them up into 5x7s for me.

I put them in cheapo ikea frames I had kicking around, and stapled them on to the wooden strips.

Oops the photo above slipped!

I fixed it after...

There are french sayings on the bottom, but I haven't bothered to figure them out yet... nothing google translate couldn't figure out!

And another blurry photo due to bad lighting and an ornery camera... :oP

Now all that is left is her dresser which needs to have new drawer glides put in, plus a little bit of fancying up.... future post for sure!

As for the rest of her room, I need to get a can of paint, plus sew a quilt.... oh and I have plans for the initial 'L' too!!!!

:o)

Such fun!
