Crafty Mumma - Playhouse decor/finishing touches

As I mentioned a few posts down the girls playhouse had arrived, Now even further down my blog there's another crafty mumma post about how i like to give things a go myself rather then just buying them. So for the girls playhouse I wanted to make a little polka dot heart bunting and a cupcake blackboard for them to write little bits like not in or the waiting time for tea (they have their play kitchen in there) Although i never made the MDF cupcake or hearts if I could I so would, I sprayed the cupcake with black board paint and the hearts I  painted with tester pot paints from wilkinsons, to create the dots I used some of a friends filters which gave me the pretty much perfect dots/circles :)

Do you like to give things ago yourself to get that more personal touch 

before buying them in from the shops?

 BEFORE paint, after a good sanding down as it was very grubby

AFTER a lick of paint and taa-dahh

The other day i walked into work and saw a kids ikea table and chairs in the back, it was pretty grubby drawing all over it and one half was caked in paint (i forgot to get a picture of the top before it got sanded down) A little while later my boss asked me if it was any good for my girls of course i said yeah and this baby was mine for £5 

My dad lent me a sander, my partner sanded it down and away i went with sprucing it up :)

after a lick of paint it was a gorgeous table perfect for two little girls 

It needs another coat and a coat of gloss and it'll be complete :)

I'm thinking of added the girls names on the back of each chair too
