Guestroom, Complete!

Aside from finishing my dresser, I painted the guestroom. I wanted to decorate in a way that my guests would feel at home without feeling overwhelmed with family pictures, clunky wall decor, etc. I went on a mission one Saturday, I hit up Target first. They had this wooden floor vase on sale for $10. Michaels had some flowers for it on sale for $2. I had some old, handled, ceramic crocks that I threw in there. I then found some doilies at my favorite antique shop for $0.75 each. I painted them green and displayed them in front of a piece of scrapbook paper and hung them on the wall. The frames are from Hobby Lobby, probably the most expensive thing in the room. Finally, my little vintage mirror was picked up at a (usually) overpriced antique store, for $5.

Guest Room Dresser

First things first. I got this dresser for free from a friend. I had a vision of what I wanted to do with it, it was just the matter of having the time to do it.

I transformed it into this! Only took me 3 weeks to figure out what I wanted to do, how to do it and execute my plan.

I filled in the old knob holes with wood filler and re-drilled the center ones. I used my leftover paint from my theater room, gave it a good coat after sanding it. I then painted it white with leftover white paint we had. I sanded it down pretty well. I then found some stain in the garage and lightly painted it all over the white, concentrating on the edges. I found the knobs at Hobby Lobby for 50% off, so 5 for $10. Needless to say I'm in LOVE with my new dresser. It looks amazing in my guest room!

Theater Room!!

So I can honestly say, this is my husbands favorite room. Eric LOVES his theater room. Here are some makeover pictures as well as the finished product!

So as you can see, we were trying out some paint colors. You can also barely see a door to the right of the TV...this used to be a garage and that door was just left there to go outside

We had to add the curtains to block out some of the light (aww little baby Gunner!)

This is where the door was...This is Brice, my husbands BFF

Finished product!

Looks amazing! There is Brice enjoying it and my BFF Lexi posing?

Kitchen update!

So I first want to show you what my kitchen looked like when before we moved in.

Keep in mind this was before we moved in, so the previous tenant was still living here.

Now, the WHOLE house had white walls. This drove me crazy. I had to change something. I knew what colors I wanted where, it was just the little thing you need to buy paint...money! One day I got bored and decided to run to Lowe's and get some paint. I had the kitchen and dining area painted by the time Eric came home that same day. This was one of the first things I did after we moved in.

 You'll have to excuse the mess on the dining room table. You see that corner shelf on the right? I picked that puppy up for $40 at my favorite antique shop!

I absolutely fell in LOVE with this color. It's Brisk Olive from Valspar. I've always wanted a green kitchen, so here it is!
