Peacock Headbands

I am patiently trying things and widdling away in my "work shop". 

 I always have loved really pretty headbands, but I never seem to remember to put them on myself. I was inspired by a coworker to give these peacock lovelies a try, so out with the hot glue gun I went :) 

 

What do you think? Overdone maybe? I probably wont be listing them on ETSY but I may stick a few in the booth to see if they sale! 

I am finding tons of inspiration lately with different tasks to do around the house, from painting to flooring, to shelving! It seems like the house will never be "done" at this point. 

Monkey and his Motorcycle Diaper Cake

One of my coworkers is having a baby shower tomorrow at work. Of course I am the one throwing it! Tons of fun! We are having a Taco bar, and they are decorating the nursery with Monkeys :)

Hence the diaper cake, monkey on the motor cycle, thanks to the tutorial over on Sweet Aprils blog

She really gave a great tutorial on how to get the right shape of this really cute diaper cake, I hope I made her proud :) 

The Louis Blue Vanity

Of course just like everyone, you are too excited about a project to take a really good before photo of it before you start slapping on some paint. Then halfway through you realize oh... I forgot to take a before picture "DOH". 

So here is the Vanity in our booth, it has been sitting in our booth for a good 6 months and hasn't sold yet like it was. I guess no one wanted to appreciate the original Hollywood regency style wood grain beautifullness.

So My mom and I decided to take a few pieces out of the booth and paint them, this was one of them because our other vanity has a matching wardrobe. I decided to take the color Louis Blue to it.

We are getting there, I am starting to like it in this picture, but I was very worried about the drawers, they seem to have some "raised" spots in them that I need to fix. 

Here it is with the original hardware back on it, you cant see the bubbling in the drawers I need to fix. But here is my next question... I was thinking about painting a design on it, but I am not sure what i should go with. Do you have any suggestions? At first I thought maybe some cherry blossoms? 

What would you do ?
