Beautiful Boudoir-Highboy Chest of Drawers Addition!

I found this awesome highboy (or chest-on-chest,) FREE on the side of the road. Not kidding. The owner was just putting the drawers in it at the end of her driveway when I screeched to a halt and told her I want it!

This piece is for my hubby and it turned out amazingly masculine-looking, yet still coordinates with my pretty little vanity. I decided to get big clear bulbs for this one and then traditional Victorian crystal knobs for my vanity. We still need a couple more for the bottom drawers, but I have to go to a different store to get them :)

Thanks for all the sanding work done by my dear hubby

I'm still finishing the mirror for the vanity and will post final pictures of that project when I put it back together and have the hardware on. Last left on the bedroom fix list is painting the walls, hanging some new curtains and art. My big girl room is almost finished!

"Kitty, that's my pot pie!"

This is what was created out of the leftover roast chicken. I used a 9" deepdish pie plate and only used puff pastry on the top. I have an aversion to soggy bottoms. We had another couple over and between the 4 of us-actually the guys ate 3/4s of it-it disappeared! There were plenty of South Park pot pie quotes laughed at :)

Pelmet Tutorial

Finally here it is! These are super easy, quite quick and don't cost much at all. Things you'll need: Foam board (use your Micheal's coupons!) Cotton batting-I bought the crib-size and still have leftovers Fabric Glue gun and glue sticks-I used 2 long ones Duct tape Picture hangers or small brackets of your choice Step 1: Measure your window width and cut or tape more than one piece of foam board together to fit the space if needed. I made sure it was at least 1" beyond each side of the wood moulding. Remember you'll add thickness and need to attach brackets. Mine were 64" long, 9" tall and the sides were 2" wide, your proportions may be different depending on the window size and style. Duck tape holds it all together nicely. I did add wooden chopsticks to the middle where I taped two long pieces together so it didn't bend. You won't have to do this if your window is smaller....
