Today I’m collaborating with some of my favorite bloggers for a Fall Blog Hop featuring tabletops and mantels. It’s been so much fun to see all of the creative fall décor around blogland these past few weeks. Welcome to my fall inspired dining room…
A few weeks ago, I found this four-drawer dresser at an estate sale. I’ve painted so many pieces of furniture in Duck Egg lately I started looking for other paint colors that would have a marine feel. I combined two colors of mineral based furniture paint to create a coastal blue and weather inspired dresser makeover. Here’s how it all came together…
This small table and bar stools isn’t the type of thing I usually purchase but I knew it could be used so many different ways. It didn’t really need much of a makeover but I wanted to brighten up the base without changing the top. I chose Rust- oleum’s indoor/outdoor spray paint for metal in white to paint the base.
A few months ago my Mom found a kitchen island she LOVED. But it was several thousand dollars over budget. I know, right? My Dad promised he could build her an island she would love just as much.
As I shared earlier this week, I’ve been coming home with lots of goodies lately. This dresser was one of several pieces of furniture I’ve been excited to find. Given there is only one piece of furniture left in my booth at The Pickers Market painted in what has become a signature color, I knew this duck egg painted dresser would be a big hit. Wait until you see the before picture, it doesn’t even look like the same piece.
Have you ever noticed how quickly the refrigerator can become messy? Each morning when I would grab my favorite coffee creamer I noticed more and more how things were piling up in there. Given that my schedule has been kind of crazy lately, I’m committed to corralling the clutter before it gets out of control. Here’s how I tamed the mess by organizing the refrigerator with budget friendly baskets…
I was out treasure hunting one day last week when I found an awesome rug. It was rolled up and taped up yet even though I could only see the corner of the rug the pattern was perfection. The price was amazing. So, I decided to take the chance and bring it home to clean it. Here are a few tips cleaning a thrifted area rug…
One of my favorite projects was a set of Driftwood Inspired Trail Signs I made for the home office. We were looking for a way to incorporate fun memories from our many hikes and they were a perfect fit. With summer winding down I thought I would share with you how easy they are to make in case you want to make some too. They’re a simple way to highlight meaningful moments, favorite travel destinations, or even significant dates in your home.
You may remember I picked up three pieces of furniture the weekend of July 4th. While I was at Haven the only piece of furniture in my booth I had painted Duck Egg sold. So, it was an easy decision to paint this cabinet in the coastal color is that has become a signature in my booth.
Since the July 4th weekend was a long one, I was able to steal an extra day and travel a few towns over to find a few new treasure haunts. I fell in love with this dresser as soon as I saw it. Given my love for all things neutral, this French Linen Painted Dresser is going to be really hard to take to my booth at The Pickers Market. Here are all the details of how this dresser came together…
The very minute I put the roller of paint saturated with Valspar’s Quail Egg onto the wall and watched the paint fill the textured grooves I felt at peace. As I shared yesterday this room has gone through so many changes. In order to create a space that truly felt serene I only left the bits that I truly loved. Here are how all of the elements of the neutrals inspired bedroom makeover came together.
This shabby chic inspired bedroom. Wow. So many changes. The walls have been painted 4 different colors. Every time I decorated it, I immediately wanted to change it and that should have been my first clue my style was evolving and moving in a completely different direction.
