April in Review

Can you believe it’s May 1st? C-R-A-Z-Y!

Just in case you missed anything, here is April in review!

I kicked off the month with my 3rd $30 Thursday project, a Spoon & Pallet Hook Rack:

Then, I built a fabric wrapped frame with things that were laying around.

After that, I decided to give our mudroom bench another makeover.

I also shared my home on A Woman’s Haven.

Then I put my stash of cardboard to good use and made cardboard numbers for our mudroom coat rack.

I scored big time at the thrift store with my new headboard and footboard… PB Style!

I also put my sewing machine to work and made this a-dorable grain sack inspired burlap pouch.

Then, I decided it would be fun for YOU to ask me questions for an upcoming “About Me: Q & A” post.

I added this lovely sunburst stick wreath to our powder bathroom…

We finally finished our new PB style metal & wood side table for the laundry room.

After having a major crush on boxwood wreaths, I now have my very own!

To end the month, and to keep with sprucing up our mudroom, I made a PB inspired sign, farm style!

I love each and every one of them! What’s your favorite project?

I’m already looking forward to May… and this week brings another edition of $30 Thursday, which is tomorrow!

See you then!

  1. I can’t believe it’s May already either 🙂 You’ve done so much! so many great projects! 🙂 I’m sure May will be a big and fun month for you as well Shayna! can’t wait to read tomorrow’s post “$30 Thursday”!!!

  2. I love all of the projects but my favorite has to be that beautiful bed !!! I’ve been married 42 years and we’ve always “fixed up” furniture finds, etc. I wouldn’t trade our things for any showroom furniture anywhere.

    Great job. Keep those wonderful ideas coming.

    1. THANK YOU so much Betsy! I’m so happy you enjoyed my April projects, especially the bed! 🙂
      Hugs!
