Time for a change

I love to re-decorate and while it gets harder to do in the larger spaces in my home I love to play around with my front porch. I know I have shared it before but recently for the 4th of July - I decided to clean it up...

This is what it looked like before

 

This was a sweet little farm table that I purchased years ago at a flea market. It sits outside and its seen better days so I knew this was the first thing that needed a

"Pick Me Up"

 

 

This is my new door (which I love) and the way the front porch looks from the street.

 

Pretty but needs some "Shooshing"

I used some of this new amazing paint that I bought awhile back and it was the most amazing shade of aqua/turquoise and it when from cute to AAH-MAZING!!!!

 

Here she is all pretty like and on the front porch

 

Here is my happy little farm table all propped up and as you can see I moved some stuff around and got rid of a few things. I drew up some new chalk art on our welcome board - added my sons bike and a some red white and blue accents.

 

 

All because this color needed to be used...

 

I just had to post one more photo of this super cute table and chairs. I repainted (spray painted) the small wicker chairs just to spruce them up. All in all I am in LOVE

 

Well I hope you are having fun sprucing up your spaces.

Need a little Wine?

After a long day of work I am sure a nice glass of wine is something you look forward to or  maybe need. Well, have a got the cutest table I just finished to share with you tonight.

 

Here is where it started:

 

 

then I sanded it, painted it cream 

 

 

 

then used some awesome paper from Tim Holtz and collaged the top of the table

sanded it on the edges, waxed it deep brown then sealed it

 

and looky here

 

how great would this be to come home to after a day at work next to your couch or by the bed...

I am very proud of the way this little vintage table turned out.

{In case you love it like crazy and have to have it - it's listed in my etsy shop.}

Making Do

As I posted on my instagram yesterday - I wanted to share a fun project I started one way and finished another.

2 weeks ago I went into a thrift store and found a sweet side table that was nice and sturdy and only 10.00 - the bones were good and I knew it just needed some paint. Fast forward to DIY day...

 

SO... I started sanding and was super excited to get painting when my husband pointed out

that there was a drawer missing...

 

OMG - I didn't even notice that. Great now what - I proceeded painting the table and kept it in my mind wondering what I could do with the small space there - It wouldn't sell with that gap so

 

 

 

we added a dowel and painted it the same color and added a small guest towel and wahh laaa...

 

 

 

A useful table that would work out well in a guest room along with the cute towel...

 

Pure sweetness wouldn't you agree?

 

I love when I make mistakes that actually turn out better then expected.

Here's to making "HAPPY" mistakes.
