Oh my Stars!

Just a quick little update about a project I did this weekend. My next big room to tackle is our guest bedroom. The walls are painted a bright blue color ( but when the lights are dim it almost looks navy.) that M picked out when we first moved in. It originally started out as his office, but over the last 3 years it has slowly turned into a guest room. It also has been a storage room. My mom has given us some furniture to make room for my grandfather moving into their house, so I'm using this as my excuse to finally clean up the room and style it. Because the walls are so bright, I'm planning on painting the furniture white and using different shades of blue with a hint of yellow as the accent colors. I'm hoping the white furniture will tone...

Olive Green Barstools

FINALLY! I'm doing my post on my bar stools. It's been a long tedious journey with these two. Really, it has. I swear I will NEVER take on another project with spindles. (I know Justin Bieber .. never say never.) But they were a pain in the butt. But all in all I'm happy with how they turned out.

He lives in a retirement home and I think he's just getting scared of being by...

I'm still Kicking .. I Swear!!

So it's been a minute or two since I last posted anything. Things have been a tad crazy these last couple of weeks. Last Tuesday, my grandmother passed away. It was her time. She lived a long (93 years!!) and blessed life. I only cried a little, mainly because I know she is so much happier now. But it's still really hard to think about. Love you Mammaw!! Been selling a few little pieces of furniture here and there. Today I planned on finished my barstools that I started a hundred years ago. So I take them outside to spray on their clear coat, come back inside, grab what I THOUGHT was clear coat .. and sprayed white paint onto my pretty green barstool. UGH! I was so devasted, BUT I pulled through and fixed it. It's still a little noticable...
