Hello Yellow!

New blog layout! I got bored last night, and as much as I love owls, I was just a little tired of looking at the old layout. Anywho, this post is to be about my yellow sofa table! It came from my uncle. I get alot of my things from him. He has a habit of buying new stuff and then 6 months later, wanting something else, so he just gives it away. Score! I forgot to take a before picture and I've even looked through old pictures hoping to find it in one of them. No such luck, so we'll start with the first coat of primer: And then a second coat of primer: And let me say, I am super messy with primer. I think I should probably start buying it in the spray cans, because when it's all over with, I'm covered. I even had it in my hair! And being...

Vintage End Tables

My mom bought these end tables (and coffee table, but that's somehow gone missing!) for my grandparents when they bought a new house. I believe I was like 3 at the time, so that makes them about 25 years old. That's Vintage! Whenever my grandparents decided to move outta there house and into "retirement" homes, I took on the tables to use in my first apartment. That was around 10 years ago. Now I'm actually just kinda tired of looking at them, so I decided that they needed a facelift. Here's what the tables looked like before: When I first started, I was going to paint the edges in a beige color, so I assumed that I wouldn't have to prime. Big Mistake. So they sat half painted in my living room for over 2 weeks... then I finally went and...

Craft Room Start!

I've been wanting to turn our smallest spare room into a craft room for months now. Just so that I have someplace to keep all my supplies so that they aren't scattered all over the house, like they are now. I still have to move the bed out, and I'm not exactly sure where I'm going to store it. Our storage building is packed with holiday stuff and furniture waiting to be worked on. But last night I came up with a brilliant idea to decorate my room. At least I think so anyways. It all started with this... I printed out letters on the computer to make a collage on the wall. Something to kinda display my name and make it feel more like me. After cutting allll these out, my hand was cramped up pretty bad. Plus I'm still not done, I've got several...

Quick update and some Pictures!

So today was my first day "working" at home. My last day at my day job was Wednesday. I told myself I could have the weekend to be lazy and just enjoy myself. On friday night, I had a slumber party with myself. Saturday, I baked a rainbow cake! Sunday, I cooked Tequila Lime Chicken (just like Applebee's!) for M and my parents. Now it's time to get to work! I've been taking lots of pictures and have lots of things to update about but for now, just a quick picture of my first project. I've got a pair of end tables that i've tackled as my first project. They were my grandparents and I was given them when I got my first apartment. There actually was a coffee table that matched them, but it has somehow disappeared. I don't remember throwing it...
