Lily's Little Table

Quite a few months back I shared "An Art Desk for Lily" and that my six-year-old daughter wants to be an artist when she grows up.  Most kids I know change their minds everyday when you ask them what they intend to be when they grow up, but Lily's maintained her choice of occupation for the past couple years now.  She pretty much sticks to drawing and coloring, but I thought with the very "forgivable" chalk paint out there now, I'd introduce her to painting furniture....

Slate Blue Metallic Dresser Makeover

I've always loved going to auctions, but don't get the chance to go very often because they are just too long to attend with small kids.  My mother-in-law picked up the girls for an overnight this last Saturday and my husband and I were able to go and enjoy ourselves at a small local auction.  I brought home some new projects including this dresser...

Planter Box Centerpiece

I've always loved those beautiful holiday photos that have large tables with wood planter boxes filled with holiday trimmings, pumpkins for Fall, wheat grass and eggs for springtime, etc.  Now I'm excited that I finally have one! 

I never had a table long enough for one of these before we moved into our new house.  My trestle table is the perfect length for this rustic wood planter box that I picked up from a fellow Luckett's Market vendor.  Although it wouldn't be difficult to make one of these, I like how this one was a bit "pre-aged".

Vintage Phone Secretary

But here's my number...

...so call me maybe.  Ha!  I couldn't resist. No this funky little secretary was not inspired by that song, but more like this cute vintage telephone I picked up at the Raleigh flea market a few weeks back...

Laundry Room Reveal



At last, I finally completed and put the finishing touches on my laundry room!  I've been picking away at it here and there all summer, but finally got things hung up and organized...

Thrift Store Chairs Makeover

Whew...I finally finished these chairs!  I picked two of these frenchy chairs up at the thrift store clear back in December for $20 each, but it took me this long to get both of them re-upholstered.  I quickly dove into working on one chair and completed it last winter, but then many of my home projects got pushed aside for finding and re-finishing pieces for the Luckett's Spring Market last May.
