Can't wait to share

I'm so excited! the rocking chair that I posted about earlyer is almost done. I'm at my parents house right now about to finish it (I do most of my projects at their house) so I'll post pictures as soon as it's done.
another thing that I wanted to share on this blog are some of the trends that I'm seeing in the salon. right now I'm cutting tons and tons of BANGS!!!! and I love it. Honestly bangs can make or break a hair cut but most of the times it totally makes it. I'm loving the long hair with straight across bangs. Yesterday in the salon I had two clients in a row get them and I loved the look on them. So if you are wanting something different but not ready to cut your hair try some bangs, they are a lot of fun. Another trend that is really hot right now are feather extensions. I haven't started doing them yet but I see them everywhere, and not just on teenagers but little kids and adults. more adults are sticking with more neutral colors and teenagers and younger kids are trying more of the colorful feathers.
Well I hope that might give someone a little inspiration for their hair but I'll post more hairstyles that I love and I'll post my rocking chair soon. Thanks for reading!!!! Oh and if I get 50 followers I'm going to start having drawings and giving away cool gifts, so tell your friends!!!

A few things are finished!!

I got both of these chairs at the DI and they where 10$ each. I really liked them because of the design at the top I thought that would look really good with glaze. and with a little sanding and some primer, paint, and then glaze here is the final project. I also stained the little table that I bought at Home Depot for 12$I also got this table at the DI and it cost 15$ This table was in great shape it really didn't take much time. I hardly sanded it just enough to get rid of the oil finish it had on it.

and here it is all done. (sorry about the picture quality I took it on my phone) I used Krylon spray paint in celery. I also glazed it with a dark brown glaze.

this awesome find was only a dollar and Kyson spotted it right away so it came home with us. you can't pass that up right.

Here are my treasures I found yesterday at the DI. I'm going to paint the top lamp Black and I need to either find a shade or make one I can't decide.

and this lamp I feel in love with and had to start on it right away. I have never done a lamp before so this was my test dummy. I painted the lamp a cream color and I still can't decide if I should distress it maybe someone can tell me what to do.(please!!!!!!) and then I bought some fabric for the shade and glued it on with hot glue. all in all it took only 1 hour for the shade and maybe an hour for all the painting. super cheap and super fast.

Gold Frame's

One of my new favorite things to do is to re-finish old frames. I got these bad boys at the DI. I think the most I payed was 3$ for the larger frame and 2$ for the smaller two. All you need to do this is some Primer, I used Kiltz it's pretty expensive but it really is the best. The cheapest place to get it is Walmart. Then you'll need your paint I used a spray paint because it's easy and fast and I'm not a very patient girl when it comes to paint drying. and the last thing I used was a scotch bright pad, you could use sand paper but I felt like it would be to rough.

First you need to make sure the frame is clean, wipe it down really good and also take out the glass and picture.( if there is one)
next you prime. even for the primer I use a spray can like I said it's easy
let that dry completely
then you paint it whatever color you choose. and I usually let the paint dry over night before I distress the frame
so the next day I took the scotch bright pad and distress the edges and over the details. (the more details in the frame the better the distressing will turn out. and sorry I don't have a finished picture on the top frame but it really didn't have all the fun detail that I love so it wasn't my favorite.

I love how this frame turned out I'll post a picture soon of it hanging om my wall.

Lost treasures

I know I know ugggly!!!! right. well you'll just have to wait to see what I saw in these little treasures.

The Final product.

Here is Ashley's hair on the big day. I was so happy with how it turned out. I'm a little bit of a perfectionist and it always takes me longer on the actual day which drives me crazy that's one of the main reason I do a practice updo so I'll know how much time I will need because most wedding I do a really early in the morning, but I always take to much time.Here's Ashley and I

Why I'm doing this blog.

I'm a mom, wife, hairstylist, crafter, self proclaimed decorator, spray painter, re-finisher, and lover of good things. and I wanted a place to share my ideas. so basically this is going to be my notepad, my idea book to share thing's I create things that I find that I absolutely love and just need to tell the world, and I will share everything from hairstyles to sewing projects to refinished furniture, and fun thing to do with you kids.(just to name a few) so hopefully someone might like to read about what I like and get inspired.

Ashley's practice Updo

This is a practice updo that I did for my beautiful cousin Ashley, she was the maid of honor in her brother Ryan's wedding and might I add that Ryan and Bre's wedding turned out fantastic!(I got so many decorating ideas from their wedding). since it was a practice I didn't do all the fine tuning but I couldn't be more happy with the way it turned out. Off to the side updo's add such a feminine touch and edge to such a classic and elegant style. Braids are also a very big thing still in the salon and I thought it would add that little something extra.
