Minnie Mouse Birthday Cake

My little girl turned 2 this year and we celebrated the day with a Minnie Mouse birthday party! We had a Minnie Mouse birthday party last year for my other daughter and you can check out my decorations here. The one thing I added this year was a Minnie Mouse cake. If you know me you know I struggle with cakes...I can  barely frost a cupcake. This year for the girls birthdays I did both cakes and I'm super proud of myself! This Minnie Mouse cake was super easy! Make a round cake, use cupcakes for the ears and the easiest part was the frosting in a can (like the kind of can you get whipped cream in) Cover the top and sides and add a tulle bow and your done! Super cute and super easy!

Dresser Turned Buffet Table

Well friends the countdown is on! I have 5 1/2 weeks left till our little guys is scheduled to arrive and that means I've been in full project mode around here. We also celebrated both of our little girls birthdays and mother's day so there's my excuse for the lack of love on this lil blog of mine! Good news is that there are lots of project posts coming!

I'm excited to share this first project with you! This is a sentimental piece of furniture passed down from my grandma. Does it look familiar?


Remember this post about this special piece of furniture that I made over for my daughter's room? Here's a reminder of what it looked like after that post.


 Here's what I did to make it the beautiful buffet table that is now in my dining room!

Strip the paint from the top and sand it down to a silky smooth finish.
Apply 2 coats of my favorite spray paint Krylon Ivory to bottom portion of dresser. Then distress on corners and anywhere you feel like it!
Apply Minwax Ebony stain to top and distressed areas. I did 3 coats of stain because I wanted it nice and dark. Apply protective coat. I used polyurethane and applied 3 coats, sanding in between each coat. Add new hardware and it is now a beautiful buffet table!

What do you think? I absolutely love how it turned out and that I had a new use for this special piece of furniture. Another bonus is it added lots of storage to that room! Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!
