Re-vamping Wooden Shelves...(or anything else you can think of)

     Hey lovelies! Sorry I haven't been updating as recently as I would like, I have been a busy, busy, busy girl hunting for work. Speaking of which, if you are or know anyone in the architecture field, please be sure to check out my professional portfolio, the link is on the tab at the top of the page! Shameless plug I know, but hey a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

     Anyways, a few months back I completed a project I had been planning to do forever - re paint these out-dated bookshelves (from Pottery Barn purchased ages ago). I've had them since high school and the design is great, but the paint was getting a bit...worn. With a little help from my "local" hardware store (I had a gift card to HomeDepot that needed using) this project was pretty easy.

     This is a simple way to makeover a space without breaking the bank! Especially if you are making a more - er - gender neutral apartment!

More after the break!

So Easy My Dog Could Do It Pt 2: Reusable Swiffer Pads

     This is one of my favorite tricks, because it works like a charm and it's so easy! If you have a Swiffer, or any equivalent sweeper/mop product you will never have to buy those expensive (and wasteful) pads again.

The great secret after the break!
