Sienna’s Nursery Reveal
When I first sat down and created an inspiration board for Sienna’s nursery, I knew I wanted to use neutrals, metallics and punches of coral and mint. I wanted a more ‘grown up,’ vintage-inspired nursery that Sienna could enjoy for years to come. The room turned out just as I imagined, and I love that […]
bookcase upcycle
This bookcase was my second attempt at painting furniture after my octagon table upcycle. I again used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Graphite, but did not mix it with any Old White this time. I sanded the edges like I did the octo table, but decided to go for a more subtle distressing for this […]
thrifted octagon table upcycle
I actually purchased this table with a local thrift store Groupon, and it only cost me $12! This was my first furniture painting attempt, and the first time using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

Taking off the border was a breeze compared to the last one I removed, [the bedroom […]
more yard work
The front yard is starting to shape up! I can’t take the credit for this before and after, although I did contribute some weeding! Kyle spent several days in 90+ degree weather ripping out the old plants and flowers that looked like weeds, [those purple flowers were beautiful for a week, and then just looked […]
