So i have been doing a little bit of spring cleaning and its putting me in the mood for spring. So to welcome spring into my home i made a cute sign and dressed up my front door a bit.
So here is the cute sign i created on a piece of left over wall paneling, i just painted it all white with acrylic paint, then i used my pencil to create the out line of the branch with the birds. Then i painted the lettering on and once it was dry i painted the birds in.
So i have finally removed my Christmas swag from the front door and i also removed the bows out of my planters. I do think i will remove the cedar and pine branches out of my planters and maybe add some more twigs and plain branches so i can hang Easter eggs on them or something.
Anyways that being said, I placed the sign above the front door on the inside of the window, as i have not sealed it nor have i painted the other side yet, but i can do that later. This will protect it from the elements outside right now. I also hung my awesome coffee filter wreath that i love on the front door which gives it a more inviting spring feeling.
While i was outside snapping pictures of my front door i noticed, i have growth in my front flower bed, looks like I've got tulips and maybe daffodils up. SOOOOO excited, i just cant wait till all the snow is gone.
(this picture didn't turn out so well because the tulips are darker red but if you look hard you can see them)

Master Bedroom Update
So just wanted to post quickly my newest piece for the master bedroom.
I finally got my dresser i wanted for the space. I know this guy from work who runs his own liquor and beer delivery service in Muskoka, he basically a fellow worker at the Beer Store since we see him all the time. Anyways he just purchased a new house, that was an estate listing. When he took possession of the place they had left everything inside. So hes selling off the stuff to make room for his own. I got this dresser for $20 and its in perfect shape. When i first got it home i had to clean it up a bit, but not much. Looked like someone has placed some mactac shelving adhesive on the top, which scrapped off perfectly. I gave her a good wash down and helped move to the tv over and i was off too work, Craig did the rest of the work. I love it, now I'm wishing i would have purchased the other small matching dresser to go with it.
