And no, I do not mean commiting a crime worthy of going to jail :)<br />
<br />
I hosted a Father's day brunch at our house on Sunday (Tyler was out of town), and wanted to do something special for my dad since it was, after all, his day. He loves blueberries (sidenote, I don't), and I found a simple looking <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/355053/blueberry-jam">blueberry jam recipe</a> on the Martha Stewart website. You can't get much easier than this: blueberries and sugar, should be easy right? I followed the recipe exactly (I'm sort of picky about things like that ), but it ended up coming out like blueberry syrup. And it was sweet, VERY sweet. Note to self, read reviews before making a recipe, it could help out! The syrup thing wasn't a total failure though, because we had belgian waffles at brunch! It has thickened up a little since then, but is still majorly sweet. Sadly, I don't think Tyler has even had any, and he loves blueberries just like my dad! Even if the jam was a fail, I took some pretty pictures.<br />

{warning: this post is wordy, but there will be beautiful furniture, I promise.}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the wonderful opportunity to go visit family in Ohio this past October. Having grown up and lived in Oregon my entire life, visiting my family in Ohio wasn't something that happened all the time. I got to go a few times when I was younger, but it has been well over 15 years since I last visited. This visit came about because it was time to celebrate my <u>great</u>-grandparents 80th anniversary. 80 years! Because it has been so long since I went to Ohio, I hardly remembered my great-grandparents and welcomed the invitation from my Grandfather to bring my dad and I out for the party. Unfortunately, my great-grandmother passed away only a few weeks before the anniversary party, so our trip to celebrate 80 years of marriage, was a trip to celebrate her life (although it was still about their marriage, 80 years is nothing to joke about!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad and I stayed with my grandpa, and it was a short trip, but it was well worth it. I got to see my great-grandfather for the first time that I can remember, and got to see/meet many more members of my extended family who live on the east coast! I also got to see my amazing aunt Linda, who I really really wish I could see more often. While we stayed with my grandpa, he mentioned that (in knowing how much I love antiques) he would like my dad and I to pick out a few of our favorite pieces (his house is FULL of awesome items passed down through the family or picked up over the years). He would save these pieces for us specifically (for when he was no longer with us - I did not enjoy that part). He went around his home, showing us what was what and telling us the stories that belong to each piece, that was my favorite part. My dad picked a little chair, bench, and an old butchers table. I picked a beautiful hutch/desk (I feel like it's not JUST a hutch, or JUST a desk, haha), and a drop leaf table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were excited about the {sometime} additions to our homes, but obviously could wait for the time to come when they would arrive, and headed home to Oregon. A couple of weeks later (or months?), I received a voicemail from my Grandpa - he decided to just give the items to us now and was shipping them to my parents house in the next few weeks!! I was so excited I could hardly stand it! I am so thankful that he shared these with me. I love old furniture, and when it is something that has actually been passed down to me, not just picked up at a thrift/antique store or garage sale, it means so much more. SO, with all that said, here they are!</div>

From what my grandpa told me, the hutch was possibly made by his great, great grandfather (who died in 1915!). That means it has been in our family 100 years! The drop leaf table was purchased from my grandparents neighbor in Bedford. I love that is has most likely been a part of many family meals and gatherings for years and years.</div>

One of the things we loved about this house was the giant living room. Since it is so big, finding art for the walls has been a challenge. I browsed Pintrest on and off for forever, looking for inspiration. I was drawn primarily to photo ledges with groupings of pictures on them. I found my way to the amazing website of <a href="http://ana-white.com/2010/10/plans/ten-dollar-ledges">Ana White</a>, seriously, if you haven't seen her site, check it out. She gives the easiest directions, and the best part is how cheap this project was! She isn't kidding when she calls them $10 dollar ledges. Its funny, even though they are 8 feet wide, I feel like they still look a little small on our huge wall!</div>

Is that weird? It is just so exciting that it is the entrance, to our home! It's the first thing people see when they walk up, so why not keep it looking fresh? I do wish I could have thought of some other word than "spring" to put on it, haha, but oh well! <br />
<br />
I just wrapped the wreath form in canvas (from a drop cloth), hot gluing as I went around. I made the flowers from fabric remnants I got at St. Vinnies, and hot glued them as well. It was super easy and can be updated with other pretties later on, if I feel like it. <br />

That kind of weather makes me want to surround myself with bright, cheery colors. This Buffett was a steal on Craigslist, although meeting randoms to buy furniture always feels a little sketchy! Luckily for me, I picked it up at a retirement facility! I felt a thousand times safer when I saw that upon pulling up, is that sad? Anyways, I digress. I originally planned on painting it white, but wasn't happy with that outcome. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the process, so I only have before/ after pics. Hope you love it as much as I do! I'll be trying to sell this baby as soon as I make some finishing touches. That is, unless I find a place in the house needing a pop of color!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, a spring wreath :)<br />

I figured it's about time I shared some of my recent projects. I'll show one a day while I can, and yes, I jumped on the chevron bandwagon. I am proud to say, Tyler now knows what chevron is :). I'm sure this won't be the last of it in our home!<br />
<br />
I also have some exciting news, this table was the first piece of furniture i have sold! I was sad to see her go (and yes, I decided it's a she), since I spent so dang long taping off semi perfect lines, but she is in a happier place now. Haha, I couldnt resist that last part. But seriously, I had nowhere for the table in our house, and had big plans for a facelift. Here she is in all her glory!<br />
<br />
Up next, something aqua :)<br />

Anyways, I drove by a garage sale yesterday on the way to my parents house and noticed they had some nice looking furniture out front. I didn't stop, but returned after picking some snap peas (<i>yummm</i>) at my parents. I'm so glad I did! First thing I saw when I walked up was a little end table, with a nice <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">little</span> price tag! There was also a beautiful dresser but it wasn't priced as low, and I couldn't justify it even if I could have talked them down a bit. I immediately took the pricetag off the table and continued to look around the sale. I found two more great, old, mirrors, both of which I took home and worked on right away {one of which I'll show you below} :) I also got to work on the side table and have before and after pictures for you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">{Well, I lied.

Tyler and I bought a house! We got the keys last week, packed up our rental over the weekend and moved in!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Holy moly</i></b> am I excited! I am just imagining all the fun projects I can do to/in this house! We already finished part of the one main thing we wanted to change in the house {Ms. Impatient here}. See, when we bought the house, the large, open, one-window living room had one wall painted dark red, and another painted dark brown. With brown carpet. It didn't look horrible, but it wasn't doing anything for the light in the room. We fixed that problem right away! So far we have primed both walls, will be painting the {formerly} red wall the same off white as the other walls, and painting the {formerly} brown wall....well, we don't know what color yet! That is our current debate. I'll show some pictures tomorrow of what I'm thinking. And for now, I'll leave you with a {camera phone} picture of part way through priming :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2E42a59d0wqKmWfgTQnIBzuJyi6mRh22vTPxhqCOG_Fp6GC2rORVt7xX5FLLB4rV0WXsCXLxMvrmp1ePOfNyLT_0WTOfrolPA2RMU5CQF-LGAXvjtdShOgQeZPyt1TBuu_bcaZQizLD_2/s320/formerly+red.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597495788860671154" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Tuesday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></a><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/180/77E8FB76685EECA01A494ABA4872B7C7.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a></div>Jasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03059046505395996015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117496382126869101.post-49590983333310738572010-10-21T19:34:00.000-07:002010-10-21T20:41:59.593-07:00Photo Friday<div style="text-align: center;">On Thursday.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">First a quick note, sorry for my absence!

I didn't buy anything (there...).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then I ventured over to St. Vinnies, because they have TONS of furniture, and have had some good sales lately. It must have been my lucky day because when I drove up I saw a huge "75%off"sale sign! Long story short, I found some chairs that were calling my name, and of course I stopped by the Goodwill by my house, and found a dresser that I HAD to have.
