Chic and Simple New Years 2013

Forget Christmas - You know what is even more fun to plan and decorate?! New Years. I love the classic theme of black, white and metallics - every year you see a new take on it, but it rarely excludes these must have colors (or lack of colors!) and I don't think it should ever change - look at this beautiful curation I found!

Happy New Year!

Do you add color to your New Years party?

Let's get crafty!

 My hubby went and bought one of those awful particle board bookshelves at walmart last year. It is awful - you can see the particle board, the white coating is peeling, it just looks like junk. I guess you get what you pay for, right?

I am working on Milo's playroom, and will also be making that space my sewing area. So I want it to be bright, cheery and full of joy. I need shelving, but that particle board horror is NOT my idea of joy, so I will be re-vamping it!

Here is what I will be doing to it - rainbow-fying! Ours will have 5 shevles, so we are nixing pink. We already have the tester sized tubs of all our rainbow colors from painting our Pez shelves in our bedroom!

(sorry for the awful yellow tones, this was a quick picture of the sling for a buyer)

I will post my tutorial when I get the chance to take pictures, but it is super duper easy and I'm sure you can figure itout - hopefully I can add in some tips on small things to make the project easier. I will be using the shelf for my fabric up top, and milos books and toys on the bottom.

Alright, off to get crafty!
