Some little projects

This post is about a few projects that I have done in the last month or so.  They are easy and cheap.  First up is this file cabinet I found at Good Will. 

You may be wondering why I got it.  For one I liked that it was square and I liked the little label holders and I also liked the fact that it was $10.  I was also wanting something to put miscellaneous nursery stuff in since even though babies are little, they come with lots of stuff.  So I used primer and spray painted it gray (surprise, surprise).
 After a few coats of spray paint I then used stencil to add numbers to each drawer and filled in the label holders with craft paper.



I could not be happier to say that it is filled with diapers at the moment, thanks to some awesome women from my church.

The next project is really easy.  I have had this frame hanging in my kitchen with nothing in it for a couple of months.  It originally was a gift with a poem in it and a faux-wood finish frame.  I had painted it blue a while back.

I chose some paper I had on hand and drew a map of Arizona and cut out a heart.
I then affixed it to the glass in the frame.  Easy-peasy.



And lastly (it is not really a project) I switched some stuff on my mantel for spring. 

 I re-hung my map garland.  I love garland.  I found the little birds in the dollar section at Target.
 I put some faux cherry blossom branches that I already owned in the jar.  Kinda spring-y right?
Happy weekend!
