A Childs Armoire..Part Two

I hope you are all having a wonderful, relaxing Sunday!

I had a wonderful morning praising my Savior and came home to a yummy pot roast waiting for me (crock pots..gotta love em')

We also had a showing today and I think it went really well..praying!!

I did a previous post on a childs armoire that I had been working on and gave you a few teaser pics before I finished it..well I finally finished it and it is going to be going back to its original home this week.

Let's take a look back and see just how far this little girl has come..

Dirt, dust, layers of old paint and some critter droppings...this had been in a covered barn area for sometime so she was in need of some TLC!!

Getting there....

TA DAH!!!

Does that look like a palm tree?? haha..

I love how the little basket looks as a drawer

I added a chalkboard to both the inside and the outside door

This project was definately a labor of love! 

What do you think??

Can't wait to show you my new/old lamp project! 

Have a blessed day my friends

I am joining the party at Between Naps on The Porch/Metamorphosis Monday

Old Bed/New Look

I hope everyone had a wonderful fun filled Fourth of July! 

We celebrated with hot dogs,cokes and a little baseball watching. All the American things!!

We did a little bed rearranging in our house last week....Doesn't everyone do this??

The look of the bed I loved, the color not so much!

Nothing that a little Chalk Paint won't fix!

I used the Old White and it took two coats to cover this black

This is how she turned out...

So girlie..I love it!

The blue Shabby Chic bedding is from Target and the Cream Matalasse coverlet was found on the sale rack at Pottery Barn outlet for a steal at $19.97!

Did I mention I love PB?!

Isn't it amazing how a little paint can transform something!

Have a blessed day my friends!

New Chairs

One of the perks about shopping for clients is that you can sometimes find some really great deals when you aren't looking for them. On a recent trip out I stopped by a local discount store and found two fabulous chairs that I fell in LOVE with immediately!

I have seen chairs very similiar to these in Restoration Hardware but the price tag was way out of my budget!

When I spotted the price on these I had the man carry them to the front and load them up for me! Yippee!!

They are a light linen color and the wood grain is identical to the RH chair!

I originally purchased them to go at the ends of my dining room table but thought they might end up very dirty. For now they look great at the ends of this old drop leaf table behind my couch.

I love how feminine and sophisticated they look!

In other news, I have been super busy around here working and dealing with the everyday life stuff that comes along. Our oldest son broke his leg in a weird accident at camp. After a long day working I made a 4 hour drive (roundtrip) to pick him up and bring him back. I was pooped! He is doing fine! He turns 17 today and wanted to go back for his birthday so off we sent him in a HUGE boot and crutches. I know "mom of the year"! haha

We had our first showing a couple of days ago and received great feedback! We are praying they make an offer soon and trusting the Lord for that decision.

I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

See ya soon..I have almost finished the childs armoire..hunting for a basket that fits!
