Life of a Crafty Momma

So...We are expecting baby #3 in November!  Seven years after our last.  These past few months we have been converting our fourth bedroom into a nursery and transferring everything back into the study.   One of the things that I wanted to do was put ceiling fans in my daughters room, her brother already had one that was too small for the space it was cooling.  So we bought two matching ceiling fans and took down the tiny all white ceiling fan to put into the nursery.  Which is by far the smallest bedroom in the house, so it would work perfect. The only issue was that I had never liked the all white fan.  All of our other lighting fixtures are rubbed bronze. I ended up still having a can of Rust-Oleum paint that I had used for another GOLD ceiling fan and some GOLD door knobs from when we first moved in two years ago  ( I DO NOT advise using this for door knobs, they become sticky from all of the oils from hands and chip easily) . I used this to paint the base of

Whoops!  It has been a while.  Life. Lets catch up. In September of 2016 we moved into our new home.   EVERYTHING was painted flat white and the carpet was white. It all had to GO. So we started the DIY process. First up, the guest/kids bathroom. Previously we had mixed together a couple gallons of paint to create this ocean splash-like color.  We painted it mostly because our kids thought the bathroom was 'creepy' all white with stained linoleum. Painting it got them to use it and not keep coming to the master bath. Still I knew that I wanted to do MORE with it.  I wasn't fond of the blue, but it served it's purpose.  My only regret is that it wasn't a lighter color, because it made putting a lighter gray over top of it a PAIN. We kept the vanity and chose to just paint it white and add a new sink top instead of replacing the whole thing.  I also went and found a used medicine cabinet for $5.00 that I also painted white to match.
