If I had to refinish and repurpose all the items that I own, I would have done time and time again. Unfortunately, with my busy life, this fun hobby is almost impossible. In the past couple of years, I managed to find some way to do some of the items that I love. The bench shown below is one of those items.
This is a throwback to my son’s first birthday a few months ago. The theme was world little traveler and it was a big hit.
I’m not a big fan of cartoon-themed birthday, and when the boys are young I can be the one who picks the theme ( My son’s 5th birthday was Hotwheels cars 🙁 ya ya Hotwheels can you believe it? ) so when they are still young I can choose the theme or at least give them few options between the themes that I LIKE lol.
My son told me the other day: ” Mom I’ve never seen snow, ” in a very sad voice, and I realized yeah he is right! I remember the last winter when we went to Lake Tahoe, I told my husband: “This is the last time we will go to Lake Tahoe when it’s snowing.” It was freezing and I got so sick.
But my son’s sad voice stayed in my head and I said okay Rasha, let’s go show this little guy some snow lol. And I’m so glad we did because the kids had so much fun.
I love Fur coats. Last year, while surfing Guilt.com, I found an awesome coat. Without any guilt, I bought it. However, with a new baby and not so cold winter, I did not get to wear it last year. It was stuck in my closet until last Saturday when the temps dropped to 42 F and I was invited over to some friends’ home. It was the perfect occasion.
Wearing pink and red together was always a big fashion taboo. For the past years, we saw few shy attempts of pink and red here and there, but this year we will see these two colors A LOT.
Either pastel or neon hues I adore these two colors together and I wore them many times in the past couple of years.
Last week I decorated with pink and red for Valentine’s and wore this gorgeous perfect matching dress for the occasion:
Yesterday I invited my close friends for a late Galentine brunch. After we celebrated last week Valentine’s day with our amazing husband now it is time to celebrate with my amazing friends.
I didn’t have time to take blog style pictures, you know the hostess is always busy, but I took these few pictures that I would like to share with you.
I’m so late for this post ( I know I know with a sad face ), Valentine’s decor was all over the internet last week but I was so busy and I didn’t get the chance to finish my table set up.
But even though I’m late for blogland, I’m right on time for real life because I’m hosting a “POST” Valentine’s brunch for my close friends.
I couldn’t decide between red and pink so I decided to decorate with both. Couple years back mixing these colors was forbidden. Today they are all over the place.
Let me stop talking and show you the pictures
This silver dresser was and still my all time favorite DIY project.
Back in 2012, this silver leaf dresser had so many features and pins from the number one bloggers. With over 130.000 post views I was called Rasha the silver leaf queen LOL.
So why am I rewriting this post today? I’m writing this post after 6 years because I always get questions like: Does the silver leaf change its color after a while? does it get scratched easily since I didn’t prime it?How did the dresser hold up?
The best way to answer the above questions and many others, I will post the following pictures of the same piece six years after. It is still as beautiful as it was on day 1, it is not scratched, it didn’t change colors. Enjoy the photos.
