Dry Erase Crayons for a Dry Erase Table

So I went to buy some dry erase markers for the new dry erase table top and while at wal mart, I found a product by Crayola called dry erase crayons! I had to have them!
First pro: no kids so they won't dry out if we lose a lid or just forget it.
Second pro: washes off with the swipe of a cloth or for the more stubborn marks, just use a bit of water!
Pro three: less than 5 dollars for 8 crayons which makes it way cheaper than the 4 markers for 8 dollars!
So I tried them out and so far, I recommend them!
Thanks for reading!

My weekend Play Area table!

I bought a table from the thrift store for my sons playroom a few weeks ago for $7.50!! It came with the two chairs as well so this was a great price. Before this table I had an ikea mammut table and chairs which I sold on kijiji for 50 bucks! I had paid 40 for it a year ago so i made $10.00 but it felt like all profit!
Anyways I sold that and used the money for supplies for the wood table.. It took me a while to decide what I really wanted to do with this because I really wanted it to work for a few years and with a baby girl on the way, I needed it to be unisex!
I had thought of a chalkboard table but my mom suggested doing a white board! I took that idea and went to Home depot. The white board paint was crazy expensive! It was 33 dollars and all has to be used within 2 hours so I couldn't sell the leftovers or save it for a future project :( so that was quite a splurge. I also found a gorgeous blue spray paint for 4.50. I also bought a foam roller for 5 dollars. In total, I paid 50 dollars for This table but because I sold my ikea table, it was pretty much free!
So I got my supplies home and got to work right away. Sanded down the table and chairs and did my very first spray paint job ever! I ran out of spray paint so I didn't do a second coat(maybe next weekend) but they look much better!! The whiteboard paint took a while to apply and I recommend reading reviews for how to apply it.
Anyways here is the finished project! Leave a comment and tell me what u think :)

Redone kitchen chairs for the cost of staples!

So I got this table from my mom when I moved out and got married and she wanted a new one anyways. It was a dark wood with dark beige chair cushions. 2 and a half out of 4 cushions weren't attached to the frame properly and were obviously a safety hazard to my baby! :/
So something had to be done!
About a month earlier I had informed my grama that I wanted to change up my color scheme so she gave me a bunch of extra orange decor things she had and some paint!
I sanded down my chairs and painted them an ivory paint by Benjamin Moore. I got a staple gun from my mom and bought some staples for $4.00. I just stapled the new sturdy fabric over the old stained stuff and it was beautiful!
I also used some clear coat spray paint on the chairs so that they don't peel and are easy to wipe down as they are white lol.
I have yet to do my kitchen table so it's still brown. I wanted to leave it brown but my hubby spilled some heavy duty cleaner on the top and it's marked so it definitely needs to be redone!

A New Bedside Table for $1.50!

I bought this bedside table for 50 cents at the thrift store because I needed something as a catch all on my hubby's side of the bed!
I sanded it down and in the process found out that it's 40 years old which I though was pretty cool! I wanted it grey because our bedroom is pretty neutral except for some pillows, flowers and art work above the bed.
I got a tester of Martha Stewart grey from home depot on sale for 1 dollar. It covered 2 coats on this table with plenty left over. I then decided it was too plain. So I wanted to distress it. I just sanded down the corners, legs and top of the table. I think it looks pretty good and the distressing process wasn't nearly as complicated as other distressing processes I've read on the net! I'm pretty proud of my $1.50 table!! (I already had sand paper and paint brushes) My thrifty endtable!
I started sanding before I realized I should get a before picture lol!
