A long time ago a friend gave me a kid’s table that was going in the trash. Heaven’s no! I saw some major potential in this table. Even though it had stickers, dings and marker all over it, a good paint job would do the trick. Well, I got busy and never got around to doing my marvelous painting make-over.

This weekend, I had enough of that ugly table! I remembered a big roll of leopard print sticker paper my friends at Sticviews had given me.

So with about 30 minutes of daylight left, I got it out and started cutting and sticking. In less than 20 minutes I did this…

The neat thing about Sticviews is they are water proof. So my kids can paint and draw all over this and they won’t mess it up like they would have my beautiful paint job.

They are so easy, I will be changing this out a lot. I think I’ll work on designing a Christmas one with my kid’s names on it. How fun would that be?

Go check out all the cool things Sticviews can do for you. They are friends of mine in real life from Dallas and super nice! Email them and they can send you any type of pattern you would like. Or, if you want to design your own, they have a very cool web site where you can customize your own design!

I just played around with their custom design program and made these cute table top designs in about 10 minutes:

I clicked on the snowman in their seasonal section, hit buy and started playing around with the customization. With my kid table dimensions, this ended up being $20. Much easier and lots more fun than painting! A big photo of your kids would be super cute also!

Hope you enjoyed this easy make-over! Check out Kimba’s Do it Yourself Day and Kim’s Get Your Craft On for a ton of more fun ideas.

My favorite room of the house is now our media room. We have lived in our home for 8 years and never did anything with this room. So for Christmas last year, we bought ourselves a big plasma TV! Well, of course I couldn’t just have it sit on the floor, I had to get this room in shape.

Here is what it looked like before…

I had a VERY limited budget. So instead of getting the $5,000 leather sectional that I really wanted. I settled on this $500 micro fiber floor sample. It’s not the sleekest thing, but man is it comfy!!! There are also two recliners… a big hit with friends.

This is truly a lived in room. A favorite place to entertain and the kids love to eat at the bar table. That light hanging over the table cost $7! I love Ikea!!

I’m ready for American Idol to start back up so we can have family pizza night again! It’s funny, when we have friends over for a movie, we tell the kids that it’s scary and they have to stay in the playroom. Works most of the time! ha.

I hung my favorite movie couples on the wall. Sandy & Danny from Grease, Maverick and the blonde chick from Top Gun, and Adrian and Rocky (my husband’s favorite!). One of these days I’ll get a rug and add more shelves around the TV for storage. Yeah, my husband will be so thrilled to put more cheap furniture together:-) So there you go… my favorite make over for 2008.
