While I was in Utah...

While I was in Utah for 2 weeks "babysitting" my daughter Devan and playing with my glamson Conway, I was put to work. We did projects!!! Here is a sampling. Conway was getting into everything on the TV consoles shelves, so we looked for boxes to fit in the shelves. That turned out either impossible to fit or just way too expensive. So I bought a pack of storage boxes and cut them down to size and Devan and I glued wrapping paper onto them. Conway got into them the first day, but tired of trying to take off the box's lids, so now he has forgotten about them. Success!
Devan need more storage for toys, I got these two bookshelves at Walmart for $15 each. I again cut a couple of office supply storage boxes to fit and used cereal boxes and whatever cardboard boxes we could find and covered them with fabric. Don't they look fun?

When Chelsea was visiting Devan, she started to recover this rocker that Devan paid $20 on e-bay for. I did the finishing touches and also found this little chair and recovered it. Conway loves sitting in it!
One day when Devan came home from an appointment she announced that there was a sofa out in the grass by the garbage. I went down to see it, got a helper to lug it up to her second story apartment with me and we bought some foam and fabric and put together this fabulous vintage setting. FUN!!!

I love the disguised storage boxes. They are so cute and add personality to the room. You are so awesome!
