Dress Up Wardrobe

My daughter loves to get all dolled up and prance around the house like royalty!  I was set on throwing her a small but magical birthday party this year.... only fit for the finest princesses around of course!! Poor Miss K gets toted to work with me everyday and stuck in a shop shes not allowed to touch anything, so I wanted to make her birthday extra special.As I went into full planning mode I knew I wanted to incorporate dress up clothes for the girls. I decided on re-purposing an old book shelf into a dress up wardrobe.. It would be a splendid touch for the party and would look darling in Miss K's room after!

I used an old dresser we had in our bedroom that was collecting dust and junk. 

Sanded it down and rolled on a couple coats of primer.

 After the the primer was completely dry, I rolled on a couple coats of mint paint.I thought mint would pop nicely against the cotton candy pink walls in Miss K's room.

I drilled three holes on the side of the shelf and inserted drawer knobs. This made the perfect spot to hang boas and jewelry.

Next, I screwed three hooks along the top trim, two on the sides and one in the middle, then hung a bright pink sash across them.

Lastly, I added a tension rod on the inside to hang the gowns on.

I re-purposed the book shelves into princess signage around the party that would also serve as wall art for Miss K's room . 

It was a magical afternoon and a huge success !!

I hope you enjoyed this post. I'm so excited to have the opportunity to guest post here at Gingerly Made!

Have a blessed day !!

Wishing Dust Party Favors

My poor baby K gets drugged day in and day out to either my business or my husbands business. We are always on the run, so when her birthday snuck up on us this year, I decided to throw her a belated birthday bash with all the bells and whistles! I knew right away she would enjoy a dress up tea party. So a whimsical tea party it would be!!!

DIY Tissue Paper Garland

I came across the cutest garland on Etsy hours before the big event... I had to have it but ordering was out of the question! I decided to attempt to do it myself!! This project was super simple and cost under $5!! I initially wanted to added different colors... but I decided to use what I had on hand!
