Vanity makeover instructions

So as promised in my previous post, I will now provide you with the instructions on how I managed to complete this project.  It is quite simple actually.   For starters you need to have a vision of what you want your vanity to look like.  I went with the shaker style door, as this was the easiest to complete.  If you are planning to include a more detailed trim, it will be more difficult. 

Disney DVD and Blu-ray movie replacement

I know you are wondering, what does this post have anything to do with DIY. Well nothing.  But I had to share.  I myself have not tried it, but I certainly will.

In my many hrs spent on Pinterest I came upon this one Pin that said that Disney would replace any accidentally damaged or broken DVD's or Blu-rays. There is a nominal charge of $6.95 per DVD and $8.95 per Blu-ray.  This is way cheaper than paying full price for another movie.  Especially if your kids are still little and watch the same movie over and over and over. 

So here is the link Disc Replacement.  You need to fill in a form, return the damaged DVD or Blu-ray and send a cheque.  This is available for both USA and CANADA!!!!!!!

Limit:  One replacement per title per calendar year.  They will only replace discs manufactured or released by WDSHE (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment).

I will update the post once I have sent my disc in to confirm that it does work.

Disney does Love their customers and this is another way that they prove it. 

Bathroom Vanity

I have been wanting to upgrade the bathroom off of our rec room for quite some time now.  You see the rest of the house has seen some changes, some more drastic then others.  Our upstairs bathroom saw the biggest transformation I think and it makes the bathroom downstairs look so outdated.

The shower has been leaking for some time.  Steve I think has gotten tired of changing the handles and I think this time the shower itself is leaking and the only way to fix it, is to replace the tap for the shower.  

From Drab to Fab... A pretty desk

So I had previously shown you the before pictures of my daughters NEW to her desk.  I picked this little baby up from my local Restore.  If you are not familiar withe the Restore, it is the Habitat for Humanity store.  They receive items donated from people and retail stores and sell it. All proceed go to helping build homes for people with low income.  If you want more information on Habitat for Humanity, here is the link to their site http://www.habitat.ca/.

So I will include the before picture here, so you don't have to go looking for it.  I was lucky that I went to the store when I did and picked this little baby up for $20.  YES, just $20 for BOTH the desk and chair.  The chair alone I think was worth $20.  

Kitchen revitalization

Steve and I had a very busy weekend completing the painting of my mother in-law's kitchen.  This was a present that we had given her for Christmas.  We bought an empty paint can from Home Depot and we put paint chips inside, along with a gift certificate that would entitle her to a kitchen make over.  We purchased one package of the flooring that we wanted to use.  She had the option to change the colour if she wanted, but the product wasn't negotiable.

I do warn anyone reading this post that if you do decide to take on the project of painting your kitchen cupboards, that you give yourself a couple of weeks to do it.  IT TAKES A LONG TIME.

I hope you like the before and after pictures.  (we are not done yet)
