DIY Lego Table

I put together this Lego table for my kids and it was super-easy!

I bought a Lack side table from Ikea. I chose a white one, but they have other colours, including red or yellow or green that would be cute. (price is in Canadian Dollars)

After putting it together...

All I did was measure out where the centre was so I would have the boards straight and in the middle, with a little border of the table around the edges. I just used my hot glue gun to add on the boards and they are stuck on good!

My kids had a few different types of Lego storage containers, but in the interest of space saving & a simple look, I bought this awesome bin to go underneath. It's a Vessla bin from Ikea. I have a few of these in our play room in other colours (green, blue, pink). They have casters on the bottom to move & a lid (sold separately). I love them for toys!

This now lives in our living room...

My kids of course loved it and play Lego every day. And it {mostly} stays on the table! Stepping on Lego hurts!

DIY Painted Ikea Kids Table

For my daughter's 2nd birthday, I made-over an Ikea table for her, as she loves tea parties.

I got this small table that came with 2 chairs (price is in Canadian Dollars).

I bought a set of Martha Stewart paint at Michael's that had some pretty colours I loved and painted it all...

*Note: I already had one chair from this set in case you are wondering how I managed to get 3 chairs!

I chose yellow for the table, pink for one daughter, purple for my other daughter, and blue for my son so they each have a chair, just for them!

I added on cute letting stickers onto the back of each chair & put some Mod Podge over to keep them from peeling off. I bought some flower vinyl stickers from the dollar store to add onto the top.

She loved it when I gave it to her on her birthday and my kids use it each and every day!

My Canada Day Decorations

Summer is on it's way and soon Canada Day will be here, on July 1st!

It's easy to find lots of neat ideas for the Fourth of July in the US, but Canada Day ideas are harder to come by it seems.

I decorated my mantle for Canada Day and I still have a few more projects I would like to do before Canada Day comes. Here's how my fireplace mantle looks.....

I got the pair of printables in the blue frames from this website. 

The 8x10 printable of the Canadian National Anthem with the blue & white striped background came from this website.

Keep Calm and Love Canada print from Etsy.

I found this print on Etsy.

Blue/Grey/Yellow Bathroom Decor

 I'm going to try to post more on this blog. A few months ago I added some new decor to my bathroom. It's the upstairs bathroom by the bedrooms, so it's the one our family uses the most.

I painted the yellow frame on the wall and added photos of my kiddos with mustaches. Just for fun.

Since I took these photos, I bought a striped rug for in front of the sink.

I painted all the little frames in this photo, as well as a vase.

I created this print to hand above the toilet since I think it's hilarious. I suffer from a form of kidney disease where I frequently have multiple or many kidney stones and the associated pain.

I painted the large square yellow &  grey damask print using paint and a stencil. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

I framed some photos of my 3 kids in the bath as babies.
I created the "Bubbles" print and the others in the frame with it.
For the "Wash" print, there was one I found online to download for free, but I couldn't get it to work, so I created my own.
I made this Embroidery Hoop Wreath a couple years ago and it was already on the bathroom door.

And that's our bathroom! I love that it's bright and colourful and FUN!
