Pinterest - Nailed It

I love those pictures of Pinterest fails.  These are some of my favorites:

I love the Cookie Monster cupcakes.  They really do make me LOL - laughing as I type this!  Here are a few my own "nailed it" projects.

Pinterest fill-able lamp

My fill-able lamp

I found the base at Lowes and the shade in my attic.  The toys were found all around the house. 

Total cost $30 for the lamp base.

Pinterest chair

My chair

The chair was given to be my mom.

I spray painted it and reupholstered the bottom with a piece of scrap fabric that I got from the Ballard Designs Outlet for free.  Total cost $25 (3 cans of spray paint at $4 each and the $13 pillow from Tuesday Morning.)

Pinterest Door

My Door

I love this blue.

I found the star in my attic with my Christmas decorations.  I spray painted it silver but it looked too shiny-new, so I used a little gray stain to give it a weathered look.

Total Cost: $10 for the quart of paint (I already had the star, spray paint, and stain.)

Pinterest pallet table

My pallet table

I am most proud of this project, and I want to brag on Alex for building it for me.  He used two leftover pallets from our sod, and he built the legs out of timbers from an old swingset that we tore down.  I traced a big metal star that we have hanging in our mudroom and painted it with chalkboard paint.  Total cost $9 for the chalkboard paint.

I don't know that I "nailed" any of my Pinterest projects, but they were fun (and done!)
