Isn't She Lovely?

Happy Monday! I have been busy, busy, BUSY working on projects all week and weekend that I am VERY excited about to share with everyone. However, I am going to share a project I did a while back for our sweet Miss Maggie. After inspiration from my nephews nursery I decided to use an armoire for Maggie's changing table. What a brilliant idea! I wish I could take credit for it! Some people amaze me with their creativity.

I wish I had a before picture of the armoire but I dug and dug through the Edge archives (I spent waaaaay too long doing this...) and could not find a single picture of it! So here is a similar armoire for my before picture...

Rustic Armoire

And here is what it looks like in her room today...

Isn't she lovely?!?!?! White, shabby, a touch of lace and sparkles...ohh so girly it makes me all giddy inside! I wish I had her in my room to change my diapers! ha. But in all seriousness, I am IN. LOVE. It is my favorite piece in the house. I am now searching for a new armoire for our room. Hopefully it will turn out as pretty :-)

  13. hello lovely! i came across your blog through the saunday showcase over at "under the table and dreaming" and man oh man am i sure i'm going to love what you post about in the future. :) that armoire is amazing. seriously stunning.

    i'm a new follower. :) and, i must ask... are mason and maggie your little ones? i have "jack". our almost 3 year old. but, if another boy ever comes along, he will be "mason", and if a girl joins our family, "maggie" for sure! growing up my favorite babydolls were always "maggie", and my grandpa who raised me loved the name. so i found it interesting that those two names are your loves. :)

    i look forward to more posts.

  24. Hi. Your cabinet is lovely! Welcome to blogland! I just joined in May. My goal in blogland is to help and encourage young moms like you (Titus 2:4). So, if I can help you with any sewing project or whatever . . . just send me an email; I have probably been there, done that. I also have tutorials.
