DIY: Coffee table/ottoman upcycle

Let me start by saying I am so happy that I finished this DIY project!! I have been waiting to get around to it for various reasons and am so excited that it is now complete! When I found this coffee table at a local thrift store a few months back I couldn't wait to try and turn it in to something great like all these pictures I have been pinning!

So this is where the project began...when I scored this not-so-awesome table for $26 wanting to make it in to something awesome!

A few fabric samples, some cutting (courtesy of my awesome hubby), foam, upholstery batting, paint and sand paper later; we have ourselves an ottoman/coffee table. It turned out pretty big so it doesn't really seem like an ottoman and I'm not 100% sure on what I should call it yet. We are happy with it nonetheless! Yay for another successful DIY!

Vegas Trip...in Pictures

And we're off...

We had such a great time in Vegas! The first night we went to New York New York and had dinner and played a few games. First night in Vegas:

The next day we woke up and were off to see everything we could! We walked down almost the entire strip going from casino to casino to see everything!

Beautiful details everywhere!

 

Loved all the different characters dressed up!

Bellagio Water Show was awesome!

Dinner at Diablo's! Yum!

We had to go to a show! Mystere: the original Cirque!

Sadly, I don't have any pictures from when we went to Fremont Street, but that was one of our favorite things we did! We had a great time there!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday y'all!!
Here we are again to share some of my favorite finds this week!
My husband and I are taking a trip to Vegas soon, so most of my purchases the last few weeks have revolved around that! I found both of these items at Dress Up Boutique.
Hurry in, because they are offering $10 off $50 or more purchase!
(too bad I missed it by a day)

I thought this skirt was perfect for Vegas!

I love the detail on the back of the dress and it is a flattering fit! I think I am going to pair the skirt with a short sleeved sheer red top. What do y'all think? 

Last but not least... I can't forget this wonderful purchase...it may make a debut in the beauty series soon!

Next stop...
