Spring is in the air

We got a lovely dose of sunny spring/summer weather a few weeks back. 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!

Tomorrow, a spring wreath :)

Chevron Table

There's been a lot of painting going on over here folks. 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!

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!

Up next, something aqua :)

Holiday Cheer

Ok so it's been a while (it always is), but I got an iPhone so blogging *should* be easier. Famous last words.

Back to the theme for today: our house's holiday cheer :)

Happy holidays everyone!

{christmas mantle. can you see the duck cheer there?}

{this may be the door from the hutch below...it works as a frame!}

{have I shown this one yet? a steal of a hutch I refinished}

{teal & red xmas}

{I may or may not be obsessed with Instagram}

{full mantle. it's a work in progress}

{simba posing}

Sorry for the photos being out of order. This was my first post from my phone and I can't quite figure it all out yet :)

follow the leader

I stumbled upon the beauty that is Pinterest. I'm still figuring it out, but I like what I see.

{go there now}

On another note, I feel like owning our own home just makes me want to do so many projects! It gets overwhelming and I want to add another one to the mix. I want to redo our laundry room, which will hopefully get some new pretties {see, new washer and dryer!} soon. A girl can dream, right? Here is a pic of how it is now. A little blah.

{just imagine an old, but functional washer and dryer under the cabinets}

Here is some visual candy of what I hope it will look like {sometime} soon.

This one {below} is my fav. It seriously looks like an updated, way prettier, version of our space!

Do you find yourself jumping around between projects? I think I just get new inspirations and have to jump on them!

the garage sale gods...

...they have been good to me.

Or maybe, Tyler's mom found a super sweet estate sale 4th of July weekend and took me to it, twice. :)

I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday! I know this is a little late. We spent the long weekend with Tyler's parents in Coos Bay. I love the beach. Like, looooove it. I insist we go there every time we visit CB {and it's nothing new to Tyler, since he grew up there}. Anyways, beach rant over, we've been bringing lots of things home lately that will leave me with projects for daaays, so hang with me. I've just got some before pics to show you, and will slowly show the afters as I figure out and finish them!

{everything soon to be repurposed/reused}

{i am curious about THIS. not sure what it is, but they had lots of these pieces and it screams headboard to me. Almost done with this redo and will share soon!}

Last weekend was busy for us too. I'm not going to show pictures yet, but lets just say instead of cleaning our garage, we may have added up to 3 new {old} pieces of furniture. Oops.

Happy almost hump day!
