A Family of Picasso's...or not

So as promised here is the beautiful bowl that Kinsley painted at the pottery birthday party. We are so proud of this little bowl, as it is on permanent display in our kitchen. We definitely think there is a future there...

A little back story on this next picture. My mom, Melinda, and I love going to holiday/market shows. Two reoccurring quotes from us the entire time we are there are  "That is so cute/beautiful/gorgeous" followed by "Uh, we could make that." The problem is we never actually try to make anything. Until now. I saw some adorable hand painted girls furniture at the last show we went to, but it was quite pricey. So I decided to try to paint our own using Kinsley's nightstand that she wasn't using. Here is the finished product. I'm not 100% in love with it, but I think I will get better the more I do. So next I'm going to tackle her dresser. We'll see...

Justin has been wanting to sell that nightstand since I put the first coat of paint on it. I told him as much time as I put into it, my baby was going to get to enjoy it in her room first!
