If you want to be happy, be.


When Elliott was a babe we did some serious baby proofing of the house.  One of the many things we did was put this spongy padding on the edges of our extremely sharp edges of our table in the family room.  You can see it behind the adorable younger Izzie in the picture below...

We got the table from IKEA (love) soooo not the greatest quality.  When we removed the spongy padded goodness it took the first layer off with it.  Awesome.  I finally got tired of looking at the ugliness of it and did something about it.

Tore up a bunch of paper and then started the process of mod podging it to the table.  FYI: once you start the whole fun-ness (yes, that's a word in the land of Aimee) that is mod podge you want to do it on every surface of your house.  I'm having a hard time controlling myself.

Added some fun quotes and a square of bike paper. :) Me likie.

Put it outside on the porch to bake/dry in the sun and so Elliott wouldn't glue one of his many cars to it.

Complete.  I love how it turned out. Yay!
