Nine Projects- Three Months

Hello!

It has been far too long my friend.
I have been neglecting my blog and I feel terrible about it.
We have been very busy with family, work and projects- many projects.

Today I would like to share with you all the things you have missed!

My Facebook and Instagram followers have already seen what we have been up to- but I wanted to fill you in.

 

Found this beaut on the curb side (in the rain- might I add!)

And spray painted it- of course!

We are using it in the garage right now.

 

Here is another curb side find - It's from Basset and was in pretty good condition.

My husband replaced all the drawer glides, sanded it down...

Painted and replaced the cabinet hardware

Then- I cut cardboard the size of the drawers and covered it with fabric to make this insert for all of the drawers.

 

Since we are using the dresser in our master bedroom- I decided to make new curtains, to tie in the navy blue.

 

I painted a wall in our living room. And we got a fabulous new rug to tie all the colors together.

(See that wing back chair in the corner-- I found that on the curb side- can you believe it!?)

 

My husband and I made this awesome work bench and bar for our garage a couple weeks back.

 

You may remember this Post-- from 3 YEARS AGO!

Well, I FINALLY painted my Grandmother's jewelry box.

And I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

 

Another blast from the past- this coffee table (from the same Post)

I found this coffee table at the Goodwill for $15 bucks.

We finally fixed it up and made it into a--

 

 

Bench for our master bedroom- notice the nail head accent!

 

And last but certainly not least- my husband found this chair curb side.

I spray painted it and reupholstered the seat with fabric to match our other chairs

 

 

In the meantime work has also been crazy busy- I will be posting about my latest projects soon.

 

Hope all is well in your world.

Obsessed With: Black & White, Maxi & Print

Here are just a few of my current fav’s.

Anything black & White

This color combination is so powerful. It’s bold but yet still sublet.

I also love when there is just a pop of color- like this

 

The Maxi

 

I’m in love with maxi dresses at the moment. Mostly because I am pregnant and they are so easy and so much more comfortable to wear than pants are.
I’ve been on the hunt for cute, cheap maxis where ever I go.

Fabric  Covered Canvas’s

An inexpensive way to add artwork and color to a room

I have three canvas’s I painted awhile ago that don’t go with the décor I have in this apartment. So I plan to cover them with a fun fabric asap and hang them in my living room.

 

What are you obsessing over as of late?
