Dream: big little one

A very special little

girl in my life turned

1 year old in April.

Her Momma is my

first cousin and the little

Sister I never had.

I wanted to make her something

extra special.

I kept thinking to myself,

if I could encourage her

to do anything...anything at all

I would encourage her to

Dream.

No matter how big or how small~

life doesn't get any better then

when a dream comes true.

Here is what I used:

A re-purposed cabinet door

Sand paper

Paint

Vinyl as a Stencil

Decorative Knobs

While trolling Hobby Lobby one fine day,

I found some incredible vintage-Esq drawer pulls

in a light distressed pink.

Gorgeously adorable!

And while at our local Habitat for Humanity

ReStore one fine day I found the perfect

sized cabinet door:

I sanded it and painted the center green.

Spring Meadows.

I used this same color

to make this special little lady a

growth chart before she was even born!

I found a design for the center in the Silhouette Store.

I designed it so that there were

four of them to create a columned look.

I applied the vinyl and painted over it

with white. I also painted the edges.

Carefully, I peeled the vinyl off.

I also distressed it a little bit.

It was somewhat

painstaking and tedious.

But...it had to be done

and was soooo worth it in the end!

I designed the word Dream and found a

beautiful little butterfly to go with it.

I used my Cameo to cut it out.

I applied both to the center of the cabinet door.

I added the two adorable pink drawer pulls

and two black drawer pulls to the bottom

and made it a coat rack/pretty hanger.

Here it is:

And here it is in her room:

I'm so glad she can use it and it

will grow with her!

She is so loved!!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
