Its been exciting that some things are getting finished (although never for to long) and done around here. This window in our living room has had these romans on it for a couple of years now. My intentions for hanging them high was because I wanted to find some amazing fabric and sew curtains. Found some beautiful fabrics along the many months but the catch is the price tag that follows. For a girl who can't commit to style, I just couldn't surrender to the amount. That is okay though, change is good.
My girl, Keli, found these sweet curtains at Kmart of all places for dirt cheap, that's why we love that place, right? I had to add some fabric to lengthen them but they sure make me happy when I walk down the hall and see a print and color on the wall.
Jeff and my step dad, Jim, are building a super practical and very stylish banquet. I imagine I can get 6-8 little booties in there. They are going to drop the bookshelf down, make it the same height and paint all of it white. My family is so excited they don't have to wipe off the table every time we sit down to eat, which we do because our table is outside. These boys worked so hard last weekend and I am so grateful! I can't wait to see the finished product.
Here is our new but old table that got a lime green finish. Thanks to Jeff and Sofia for picking out the very brightest color that could have been chosen. I hope this color will bring a smile to anyone who comes over.
To be continued...
I was looking at these chairs for 3 days outside a neighbors house. I actually took them (at 10pm so no body saw me) for my sister in law. She declined so I thought, paint and Craigslist. A little TLC made me fall in love and keep these beauty's.
I actually liked the distressed look but didn't keep it.
Loved the way our medallion looked like it had a pearl necklace around it. 
Chopped up Sofia's necklace from Claire's. I got the "ok" after I told her I would take her and get a new one.
Added it to our 80's bachelor table to hide the seam from the wood that we had to add.
I don't know if it really adds much but I had to think of something and it was a fun project.
And that super cute chandelier? Well, thank you Julie and Josh! It was glass and gold and I painted it a perfect orange/red suggested from Little Green Notebook. Thanks Keli for introducing me to that site. It's put all my garage trash to my new treasures. 
I love my new table, not perfect which is just perfect for us. God totally answered a prayer. Jeff insisted we get a square table and I wanted a round. I still can't believe he just found this ready to go in the dumpster. Even funnier, I still can't believe he picked it up for me. 
Sewed for a friend some new pillows and got me thinking...
Sew some for us! I have all this fabric dying to be used.The girls were playing store in there room and Jeff was golfing. I maybe went a little overboard but quick envelope style just take a couple minutes. I can't believe I had some of this fabric in my garage sale pile.
