some before pics I found

I was poking around in my photos and I found these before photos. These are the theater chairs that my husband refinished and cleaned up. Here they are in all their 'before' glory.. dirty and stained fabric. And then the after again...

The boys' bathroom

This bathroom had butterflies and fairies in it when we moved in. Even if it had been neutral, i would have had to redo it... because that's just the way I am. I bought the shower curtain first... at pottery barn kids (the outlet). Then my husband came up with the idea to add a top stripe to match the curtain. He also designed the tile floor with the mosaics and layed it himsef. Enjoy!

Nursery

I was so excited to redo the nursery for my second boy. I decided on a sailboat/vintage boat theme. My mother is a seamstress and made the my valance and a throw pillow on the chair out of some vintage child boat fabric I scored on ebay. The boat shelf on the red and blue cubes I bought at a yard sale for 4 dollars. The peg shelf above the changing table I purchased at the Antique Fair in Lucketts last year. Oh.. and the changing table I bought on craigslist for 10 dollars when my first boy was born.

Spring Antique Fair In Lucketts

My favorite time of year... The annual Antique Fair in Lucketts. This weekend May 22-23 starting at 10am. I'll be there with bells on! Here are some fav's I've gotten in years past. The ladder was 10 dollars and I love it. I use it for magazines and I think it's grown on my husband who's face was agape originally when I brought it home.

guest room

My guest room has been painted 3 times... I couldn't make up my mind. :) I LOVE this room and it's one of my favorites. The armoire is an antique from my grandmother's house filled with an antique doll collection that I adore. The dresser is a GEM! I found that for 100 dollars at the annual Ladies Board Hospital Rummage sale in Leesburg, VA. PS- the decal is from etsy. I just love it.

My powder room

When we bought this house this poor bathroom was screaming for a makeover. It had a marroon flowered wallpaper that make the small spot look tiny. I started by steaming off all the paper and coming up with a new plan. I found a great stripped pattern in a magazine with a distressed look on the stripes. I also changed out the mirror and replaced the stardard faucet that was there with a matching one. BUT my FAVORITE piece in the bathroom has got to be the distressed green cabinet that I purchased at the Spring Antique Market in Lucketts, VA. I paid all of 15 dollars for it. New paper holder and towel ring and light complete the look.

and how it looks today

This is what it looks like now! Forgot to mention that I bought the bathroom sink on craigslit. Made a trip to DC to pick up this gem! The theatre now has 10 seats, 8 movie theater chairs and 2 leather recliners. The seats were purchased from a theater that was closing. We found this wonderful company in Kansas that makes custom slipcovers. We were able to pick out fabric and have them send it out to fit.. we threw in new armrests while we were at it.
