Newest project - dresser

Here is my latest redo.. I picked this baby up for $20 on craigslist including the mirror. Hands down.. this has been the most frustrating project ever!!! I will be posting the 'afters' soon and then I will be posting the complete disaster that was the project last week. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time resanding and repainting over what happened. More details to come... here are the 'befores.'

Seasonal mantel..

Here are some pics of my mantel for fall. Look at the adorable silhouettes that my sister made of my 2 older boys. The empty spot will be for my youngest guy when he gets a 'face.' Check out more of her wares at www.tttreasure.com

FALL....

I've been adding some things I like to my new trellis lately and trying to get it 'just right.' I think I'll have to change it up per season because I just love it so much! Here's today....
what do you think?

antique high chair

I've been looking for a chair for Simon for a while now and I finally found one at a consignment sale for 5 bucks. It needed a little work though. I reinforced all the screws and added a couple more here and there as well as sanded and painted it. I framed out the cute 50's design. Here are the before/after shots. It's perfect for him!

the latest nursery pics

Here are a couple more things I added to the nursery that I love. To finish off the owl theme.. I ordered this adorable owl crib sheet online.



Here is a mirror that I refinished along with a matching frame. I just love this turquoise color. With a little distressing....





And a couple other touches...some goodies my sister gave me. I absolutely love this guide to taking care of babies from the 40's....
