The Crafty Kirks

Thanks to Matt he has dubbed us the "Crafty Kirks". We are preparing to move to our new humble abode in north Orem, and we wanted to move into our new place in style. Here is just a little preview of what the "crafty Kirk's" have been working on.

Here is one of my first crafty crafts. I wanted some pillows to spice up our home.


Peter and Wendi gave us some old chairs to use in our kitchen. They were quite ugly, so they were happy to give them away. We had been using card table chairs, so we much appreciated the ugly chairs. This is the before chair.

After chairs.

We forgot to get a before picture of our coffee table, but here is the after young and hip coffee table. We are excited to have many nights of coffee drinking on this young guy.

We decided that our 30 year old lamp needed an update as well. I painted the base black and re-did the lamp shade.

These are some decorative twine balls. They are great to just look at.

Disclaimer: We are not starting a preschool in our new apartment, and we are not pregnant. When we envisioned this craft, it wasn't so child like. The end product looked like we would be hosting a play group for a bunch of 5 year olds. Maybe Matt should pursue a career in teaching preschool.

This is my Ikea clock from the most recent girls craft night. I really like how the mod podge fabric and flowers turned out.

We have really enjoyed doing crafts together and making things look nice for our new apartment. I am sure we will keep the craftin' up!
