Blankets.. Not Just For Keeping You Cozy

 Good Morning!

I am so happy to say I am 97% done with my living / dining room space.  The 3% is stuff only I will notice that needs to get finished and a couple of new items I would like to get for the space.

Yesterday I finally finished painting.  Yes!!!  It took me quite some time but I love the colors that I have chosen thanks to Benjamin Moore.

I thought I would give you sneak peaks around the space with little tips here and there.

A couple of months ago I went to an estate sale where I found some Mexican throws and I knew I just had to have them.

The dining room needed to be lightened up and the blanket would do the trick.

The dining room table is dark and to break it up and lighten it for the warmer weather the throw would be the perfect "table cloth".  Instead of going with a store bought table cover use something that wouldn't be typical like a blanket. 

 It's casual and welcoming.

Have a Wonderful Monday :)

It's About Time!

Good Morning!  Today there is a video shoot at my house which is exciting.  It keeps me motivated to keep getting my house done.

This is my master bedroom ( I am embarrassed to say) with the grandma border.  I have lived with that for 4yrs.  No one wants grandma in their master bedroom!  Don't you agree?

This was my inspiration color..

I have already begun the process and can't wait for the immediate transformation.  Painting is only the beginning : )

Some Vintage Scores

Good Afternoon!

I love a good garage sale and I have now got my daughter hooked as well.  We were on our way to the grocery store and we saw a sale going on.  I was doing my best to look away but she said, "Let's just take a look. "  Well, if you insist.

So here are her finds..

She got this for a $1 (I still have to take the orange tag off).  The frame was in rough shape so we sprayed it down with a silver metallic paint.  

This picture will go great with this..

 The candle sconce from Zgallerie still had the original price tag on it $25.  Yep, and we scored it for $4.  I am proud of my girl.  She can't wait til we hang up her finds in her room.

This is what I walked away with..

The paint on the legs were brown and chipped pretty badly.  This little stool ($8) needed some love.  Gave it a fresh start with some red.  I love it.

Then for me my ultimate find..

This was my Hallelujah moment.  Angels were singing and I made it mine ($8).  So for the total of scores equals to $21.  Yep, a real good day.

Do you enjoy going garage sale hunting?  What have been your most recent finds?
