Disney’s Mickey Lego Table Makeover

May 26, 2020May 26, 20201 Comment

Hey everyone! It’s been awhile since I have been here! I have missed you all and your sweet comments! I have several projects I have completed, but just haven’t sat down to post them. It’s hot this weekend though, so I thought this was a perfect time!
I bought this child’s Lego table a while ago at a garage sale and had it in my classroom, The paint was getting pretty worn, so I finally brought it home and gave it a makeover. I guess I have been missing Disney, because I have done a couple of Disney projects including this one!
I started out by sanding the chairs a bit. The paint was glossy, so I knew it would need some sanding. I used 120 grit paper and sanded by hand so I could get into all the crevices.

Once the chair was sanded, I painted 2 coats of Kilz Primer. I probably should have done 3 coats! The blue just wanted to keep seeping through. After the primer was dry, I painted 2-3 more coats of semi-gloss white paint.

Once the paint had dried, I wanted to add a Mickey Mouse head shape onto the chair seat. I printed out a Mickey head silhouette onto cardstock paper, cut out the shape and then used it as a stencil. I used a small brush to paint blue inside the stencil. I painted a couple of coats of blue.

Next, I did the same on the table, but this time I DID paint 3 coats of primer. It made covering the red much easier.

I wanted to protect the pieces better so the paint wouldn’t wear off so easily, so I brushed on 2 coats of Minwax Polyurethane on all the pieces.

I didn’t take pictures, but I also painted a small Mickey head on each side of the table using the same technique as above.

I really like the color scheme for this table and chairs! The kids at school loved playing with Lego’s and it was one of the activities I enjoyed doing with them.

Of course, the Disney and Mickey theme is perfect for our family and the turquoise and white colors are perfect for my home!

I even managed to make a pretty good ‘D’ out of the Lego’s I had!

I hope you enjoyed this makeover! I would love to hear your comments! I would also love it if you would pin the image below!

Hello! How is everyone doing? I hope you are all doing well and are ready for the weekend, because I know I am!

So this week’s post is because I am depressed because I am not in Disneyland. Crazy…I know… but I am working on trying to help my Disney depression by building a gallery wall. In my hallway. So! I needed some inspiration and decided to share my inspiration with all of you! Now, some of these things were too cool not to share, but they unfortunately don’t have any links. So enjoy!

Fabulous Finds and Fashions-Disney Shoes

July 20, 2016July 19, 20162 Comments

Hello everyone! Welcome to another edition of Fabulous Finds and Fashions.

It may not come to a surprise, but I am still playing Pokemon Go. I know, shocking! But, I wanted to share a special pair of shoes that I have been wearing almost every night that I have gone out Pokemon hunting.

And, I found them when I was moving to the new apartment, so it’s technically a find.

So, I bought these shoes at Rite Aid like 2 years ago. And at the time, I was into drawing on shoes. Weird, yes…I think. But at that time I wanted a pair of red shoes to draw a Mickey Mouse head on.

So I took a stencil of a Mickey Mouse head and literally drew it on the top of the shoe with a sharpie. It’s not super professional, but I love how it turned out.
