Sara's Vintage Radio Makeover

I'm in love with this little pink number my daughter, Sara, has in their apartment. 
However, it didn't start out PINK!
I'm so proud of her for taking this very economical vintage find and turning it into one of the coveted pink retro radios.
She actually just spray painted it with a can of pink paint she purchased at JoAnn's.
Well done, Sara!!!
Sara's blog is mostly a fashion blog about thrift store makeovers and how to put things together.  You can find her here.  : )
And now for some photos of Sara's big sister's latest creations.  Ha!  : )
These first two pics are of little tiny Kate.

This last one is of little Nora.  I'm so pleased to share that Kate is now over 5 lbs. and Nora is now over 7. 
SWEET DREAMS little ones.  : )

    The wonder of it all! Those precious baby girls! What a miracle times two!
    I have missed you so much but figured with wedding bells and babies you have had your hands full. Life must feel so complete to you now. I'm very happy for you!

    I'll go and visits Sara's blog for sure. I love idea blogs and this cute idea for the vintage radio is wonderful. What kind of paint did she use? I'm thinking that acrylic paint would peel maybe? I'll go to her blog and ask Sarah.

    Much love and happy January. I had a birthday this weekend and it was so grand and so special! 54 here I come!!!

    Those babies are just so darn cute! So much fun for their big sisters too I'll bet. Love that radio and what a great idea. I'm on the lookout for one now. Sarah certainly takes after her mother in the creativity department! Mimi

    What blessings for your new year! I think it is the most wonderful experience for a mother to see her own daughter in her first footsteps as wife and mother. What sweet faces to love! Elizabeth
